I wouldn't be so quick to block parked domains.
Good tips to be known!
@ Chris1 - Have you seen the garbage traffic being routed through the AdWords *SEARCH* network that originates from AdSense for Domains? It's not very Googley. Much of the traffic is clearly not genuine direct navigation. Examples I've seen while tracking down click fraud:
- 555sss.com
- amazingpornstrar.net
- infotube.tv
- noo.net
- zzxxx.com
Note that some are not even .com domain names. That's just a sample. Let me know if you want to see more data. I should also point out that all of these parked domains are routed through intermediate domains like searchportal.information.com so they appear to be genuine searches. You have to dig one level deeper than standard web analytics or log analysis. I think that's why more agencies aren't crying foul.
