Has anyone come up with a quick method for detecting if a domain name is parked, but is not being used except displaying ads?AFAICT, the main challenge is to define what "parked" means in the context of your application.
There seems to be DNSBL's for every other thing, I was expecting to find one for parked domain names or the server IP addresses used. This was for personal interest, rather than a commercial opportunity. I'm a lousy typist and its unlikely change. But I can write computer applications. I'd rather get a message my application can process rather than relying on a human. My preference is "legitimate" domain parking firms included a standardized piece of meta-data my application could detect and use as "this domain doesn't really exist." Sorta of a variant of the web robots.txt file, but I prefer it to be application independent, instead of assuming everything is HTTP Port 80. Perhaps start with a standard record associated with the parked domain, i.e. _notexist.example.com. For less legitimate domain parking (i.e. typo-squatters), its a different problem.
