    I can't speak for the rest of the members here, but I won't have a damn thing to do with anyone that hopes to make money off of sites entitled 'rape' or 'incest.'

    I suggest you go away.

    Yeah, just wondering, why would you ever register that domain and then try to profit off of it? It's not like you can slap AdSense on those domains.

    As far as making a lot of money, why didn't you register any .com domains? I don't think I've ever visited a .eu domain...

    There can always be different prospectives.
    Rape.eu and Incest.eu are not to promote rapers or incest people but to promote awareness amongst people i would suggest you two to have a look at WWW.RAPE.ORG may be you get a clue. It is the way minds think, i am sorry to say you both took it negative way may be your mind is made up like that.Other reason for regging those two names were to keep away the nasty people away from these domains.Now i suggest you to get some brains.

    synergymarketing thank you for looking into it.I guess i told since i am too late i dont have any neat domains or .com but may be you over looked it.

    Master-X thank you for your advice, i actually have had put up forums on Chill.in but not working on it to promote it yet, hope to start soon.
    more suggestions are welcomed.
    Peace

    But the point is, you specifically started this thread asking for ways to profit from your domains. If you want to make those two domains strictly for awareness or educational purposes, more power to you. However, I don't think anyone is going to support monetizing a domain such as that. Additionally, you can't even use a program such as AdSense on that site.

    why is everyone calling him?

    If hes using those domains for positive things and he wants to earn from them, then whats the problem? He hast to pay for hosting although i know he wants to earn more than that but so what at least its a positive spin on things, it would be quite easy for him to put some porn on there and earn a lot more than he ever would from what he is thinking of.

    as for the domains, perhapse series.eu you could put some amazon affiliate on there and sell DVD box sets?

    hotel.im perhapse hotels co uk affiliate?

    practice.eu you could have tutorials for cooking sports juggling etc

    debate/debates.eu id set up some type of political board and have some news feeds coming through just to spark a bit more of a debate

    Want to get some publicity for your domain sales?

    Announce that you are donating Rape.eu and Incest.eu to any all European organization willing to develop those sites into something positive. Set up a page with your announcement and get it rolling.

    Hotel.IM would have been a very valuable domain name but......

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man
    How much do you want for it?

    STOP buying domain names!!! That should help the cash flow a little.

    I'm not going to get tangled up in the rape / incest discussion, I have my own views on that. But what I would say is - why are your registering names if you don't have something in mind for them when you buy them?

    Granted, I've bought some crap names in the past, but I've always had some project or idea for them when I buy them. Not all of those pan out the way I hoped. Some I've sold off to recover my expenses, and others I've made a nice profit from.

    But I've NEVER bought a name that I didn't know what to do with. I mean, I can't even imagine how you can monetize decompose.eu!! I dread to think.

    Sorry I can't be of more help than that.

    In real terms, I would put all those domains on eBay and try and recover some cash. Then, do some research into what people are looking for on the internet. Research that market and either write your own content, buy PLR content, or hire a ghost writer. Then, you can either create an Adsense site around that topic, or create an infoproduct, or even a mixture of the 2.

    Once you start developing traffic, you can create a blog, add some affiliate links, add more content and increase your income that way.

    Get a reseller account with www.hostmatters.com You can have up to 25 domains pointing at your single account. That will reduce hosting costs significantly. Then work on coming up with a business plan for each domain starting with the one that sucks the least. Then have all the other domains linking to that domain.

    You could set up a single blog using WordPress on your main domain and then display articles based on category on your other domains.

    If you know PHP it's not hard to read the WP database to display blog entries. I do it on all my sites.

    Now you've got one hosting account, one blog and all your domains can have unique content.

    Slap on AdSense and you're done. Now that you have a whole lot of junk web-sites doing at least something for very little money you can worry about making them better one domain at a time.

    I have a feeling this thread is too negative.
    I really like Chill.in ... It could be a nice forum as Master-X said.
    It is really easy to remember, and looks nice.

    MFA's have the potential to grow up and be real web-sites. It's just a temporary solution while he comes up with something better. He could also just skip the ads on those junk sites and just use them to link to his real sites.

    Normally one comes up with a business idea before they spend money on domains.

    Having a bunch of domain names isn't going to make you much money. All you need is one damn good domain name that has a damn good webpage.

    You know what? From a Public Relations perspective, this is an excellent idea! Really, if you did this and sent out press releases, not only would you likely get a taker, but it would be a great way to get your main site's url or business name out there. And buying that publicity would cost more than the domain registrations. If you're serious about your intentions for the site, and opt to give it away to a nonprofit, let me know and I'll even gladly donate my time to write you a professional release and put it out over the newswires.
