  > Determining that is not hard at all. Is there a big buy button and a million ads on the front page? Then it's not being used. Done. It is easy to detect the egregious cases like you describe. But, not all cases are so egregious. I might have no website on the domain, yet still be using it for email. Or, I might be hosting some sort of intranet on the domain and all the public can see is a login page, with no idea of what content lies beyond it. Or, I might not be using the domain at all, and just waiting for someone to contact me with an offer to buy it. I might even hook it up with email that I never really use (but which redirects to my actual email), and a login page with nothing behind it, in order to make it look like I am really using it. How to distinguish these cases?
