## Parked domains
From initial testing, [9%](https://github.com/jarelllama/Scam-Blocklist/commit/84e682fea95866670dd99f5c98f350bc7377011a) of the blocklist consisted of [parked domains](https://www.godaddy.com/resources/ae/skills/parked-domain) that inflated the number of entries. Because these domains pose no real threat (besides the obnoxious advertising), they are removed from the blocklist weekly.
Parked domains are removed weekly. A list of common parked domain messages is used to automatically detect these domains. This list can be viewed here: [parked_terms.txt](https://github.com/jarelllama/Scam-Blocklist/blob/main/config/parked_terms.txt)

If these parked sites no longer contain any of the parked messages, they are assumed to be unparked and are added back into the blocklist.

For list maintainers interested in integrating the parked domains as a source, the list of weekly-updated parked domains can be found here: [parked_domains.txt](https://github.com/jarelllama/Scam-Blocklist/blob/main/data/parked_domains.txt) (capped to newest 12000 entries)
