But what percentage of them are active sites and what are parking pages / domain squatting? It's been shown in the past that a single domain parker moving their hosting can have a vastly disproportionate effect on these numbers while affecting almost no real end-user traffic.

As it stands, this statistic is vastly too crude to be of any value.

There are lots of statistics in the survey. They do talk about "Active" sites. I just thought that this one particular comment was the most surprising, so stuck it in the title. It's still a pretty impressive statistic, even if it does include parked pages.
