You are right that blocking parked domains is only relevant if you are participating in Google's content partner network. I would also have to agree with you that advertising on Google's Content Partner network has proved not worth our while. After months of trying to tweak this, we finally opted out, and the bounce rate for our Google advertising derived traffic has already dropped significantly. Hi Harmhero and thanks for the feedback.

And therefor impossible to rule out? Only if you opt out the whole 'search partner' network but then you could loose a significant amount of quality traffic from other sources... So, it is NOT possible to block parked domains through this way described above, because parked domains are not (anymore) in the content network unfortunately... Let's start a lawsuit against GOOGLE AGAIN! I'll join thats for sure. In short: “Site and Category Exclusion” is ONLY if you have the 'content network' enabled (something you shouldn't btw). ehm…. aren’t parked domains nowadays under the ’search partner network’ instead of ‘content network’?
