How to monetize many keyword domain names

    I own a lot of keyword-based domain names that deal with my web site, e.g. buycars.co is my web site and I own autoparts.net, carwash.org, etc. and I'd love to increase traffic and visibility to my website, which has a lot of content.

    I'm wondering what might be most effective because there must be a good way to use this to advantage over competitors. I've got at least a year to make good on many .info domains as well, which I picked up. I'm thinking:

    1) Create link wheels but I'll need some type of content aggregation, perhaps from several sites with good calls to action to my primary site. This would have to be setup on various different servers and could probably be done effectively even on a bunch of cheap shared servers.

    2) Setup your basic landing page but I'm guessing that it won't generate many hits at all, perhaps minimal dollars at best. Then again, perhaps there are "monetizing services" which take prime domains and add some content for adsense revenue.

    What do you guys do? Anyone who can help set these things up as well? I've got too much on my plate to deal with domains now in addition to running my main site.

    I know some guys who have set up a lot of sites for me on Wordpress that are doing pretty well for me. They cost about $75 a site, but they fill them with content, make a decent logo and even setup WPRobot if you want. It is better then having domains laying around. If you would like to know who I use, just shoot me a pm.

    Keyword based domains with auto-posting Wordpress are commonly seen as spammy websites and while they may rank well in search engines, people are often diisappointed visiting a site offering nothing worthy but keywords in such names.

    it's definitely waste your chance to make big money if you just want have a simple parked page and earn a few dollars,
    Go to spend more time to send emails to the potential end users.

    Autoblogs are always fine. You could park them.

    I was hoping to create some combination of sites that would work in conjunction with my own and others, e.g. an aggregated site of content, resources, feeds on that specific topic. It would have some calls to action to go to my target sites.
