Domain parking and forwarding

Hi,
I have about 100 domain names that I have parked with Sedo. The payments are low so I was thinking about making my own parking page.

After reading through a few threads I understand that I would be breaking the adsense TOS by just making a parking page with loads of keywords.

I was thinking of making a page with content for each domain but using domain forwarding to forward to a folder on one of my sites. Something like myhostingsite.com/domainname or/keywords

Would that affect the way google looks at the page, ranking etc? Some of the domains I want to use in the future so having some sort of ranking would be useful.

So, you're going to send all visitors to your domains to a page on a different, pre-existing domain?
Well, you're no longer breaking adsense TOS, but your domains won't get any ranking out of it. Google will just index the page you point the domain to.

How about domain forwarding, would Google rank the domain name for that or just the domain it points to?

thanks

What you're suggesting - redirect the visitors to an existing site - is not a bad idea, because you're making use of your visitors while you figure out what to do with the domain.
However if you want the domain to "rank", then you need to work hard at putting a site on it and promoting that site. It's a completely different thing, and a lot of work.
