What to do with unused domain names.

I have about 25 domain names that I am reserving for future projects.

What's the best thing to do with them ?

Don't really understand parking , how useful is this ?

Thanks for the help

 

I haven't found parking my unused domains to be particularly useful. (My domains are parked at Sedo, I've made not even $20 over the last 16 months)

If you are planning on using the domains in the future, you might be better off putting your own landing page with some content about the future topic your site will be about, with some Adsense ads on it. Just so that the site gets indexed and might gain some PR in the meantime.. That way your site will be that slight bit ahead of the game when you actually develop it.

 

if you park it at sedo try some pay per click ad's and list them for sale with a featured listing but do not put a price on them i gotten almost 2000 uniques in the past 30 day's or so without a featured listing i am going to do a featured listing next to see how that works i hear it's awsome for the number of uniques that you can get.

 

if you are not getting typein try 1plus.net and submitt your site to search engines

 

If they are casino or poker domains the only place to park them is fab you're talking huge revenue's per click

 

You can park at traffiz.com they have the highest paying rate and they always pay. I have domains parked there and i am satisfied.

 

I parked one of my old domains at sedo and made $50 then nothing since then i have 2 other domains that right now point to my forum rather than no place at all!

 

All my sites if not already registered at NorthBoard.com or being transfered to NorthBoard.com. Places like Sedo.com or Miva.com offer park page revenue where you can make money from content clicks. It might not make you rich overnight but if you are not going to be doing anything with them, it is nice to make a little something off them while they are there. i get anywhere from 150.00-300.00 for the sites I do park with them.

 

Do NOT submit your unused domains to search engines unless there is content on the site!

 

1plus.net is a little different though . . . they are more like mini-sites

 

Great advice thanks guys , I will probably park some of the domains I have and create landing pages for others.

 

Agree with most the above. Parking is one of those fields that is very lucrative to a very elite group, but for most the rest it is not worthwhile.

If you have some ideas for these domains, get them started with something basic and get them out there. Perhaps they'll pick up a few links and be primed and ready for when you have more time.

Cheers!

 

What can you tell me about miva.com ?

Is better than sedo or other parking programs ? or miva is not a parking program...

I`m really interested in finding the best parking program

 

i think for parked domains in sedo or other PPC rate is good, if u keep domain for sale or promote domain link we can earn little.

 

I've heard that parking a domain can make Google blacklist it so in the future if you develope a real site, Google will take a while before it will index it . . .

is this true? (dont want to spread random rumors but I do want to get to the bottom of this)
