Recognizing Parked/Expired Domains

• Look at the links. Typically, all of the links on a parked domain are Ads. There is little to no original content on the page.

• Look at the domain name (URL). On a parked domain, the domain name (URL) often has little or nothing to do with the content on the webpage. You may see the keywords, but the links are usually generic and the linked pages are not really associated with the query.

• Look at the page on the Internet Archive. Go to http://www.archive.org/index.php to enter the URL and view the page as it appeared previously, when its original owner maintained it. If the original site was different, it is probably a parked domain.
