What would you do if...

    Hi all,


    During the last 3 months I acquired ~75 .com domain names, most of them dropped domains...

    One of the domains has over 55.000 backlinks (in yahoo)... It gets about 500-600 hits (99% bot hits) daily... What would you do with it in my place?
    I'm a web developer with decent design skills, and a little spare time... So developing a moderate engine for it is not a problem...

    The domain name is for 1 specific country (a pretty big one) :)

    Any suggestions?

    I'm just thinking that these backlinks really worth a lot, as they are from PR 4-5 pages... a lot of them... And they use as anchor text one word from the domain name... The main keyword for this domain :)

    Well, it is parked, however, 99.9% of the traffic is from bots and crawlers... I have over 20.000 impressions and just 3 clicks... So the domain has huge SEO value, but no traffic value...

    if the keyword subject is something you would enjoy working with, then develop the site and do a good job on content and you have a good head start on a good site

    if not, then sell it now

    I wouldn't wait too long which might see the links start to disappear

    How much do you think it would be worth?
    The domain contains 3 words, a total of 10 characters, and one of the keywords is a country. The full phrase makes sense, and sounds pretty well.
