parking new domains

does it hurt or helps?

Hi!

I bought 2 domains for my new sites, but I will start developing them in 4 months.

Would it be ok to park domains for next 4 months and earn some revenue, or it will hurt my future website?

I doubt if it will hurt you and may help as the age of the site could slightly improve page ranking but I am not sure for empty sites and a few months may not have much of an affect anyway.

If the domain name is of value, grab it while its available!

Kherac: Just add welcome to webmasterworld!

Yep. Welcome.

It is very unlikely you will get any traffic or revenue on newly registered domains, but it does no harm to park them until you intend to develop them. In which case it might just be better to put up a simple 1 page "coming soon" or whatever type page with a good title and description and some keyword text (if hosting is not a problem). Let it mature.
