Recently I've been registering a few domain names that would be perfect for some website projects I am considering in the future - once I get time to develop them.
Some of these names I may well sit on for years - I have so many different projects on the go already :-)
So my main concern at the moment is simply to park them so that I am at least covering the $9 per year registration
A couple of the names have been used to set up very simple 1 page websites - with adsense to generate a few clicks - this easily covers the registration fee.
I'd be interested to know if anyone has had problems with adsense in this situation - it doesn't appear to be against the TOS, as long as there is some genuine content on the page (on my sites, I have placed a little general info and links to other related sites - but it is done nicely - it can't be confused with a scraper site)
I also have a few names that are not suitable for this 'adsense' approach - so I'm thinking about just parking them - but can you generate $9 per year if the domain has no type in traffic or link traffic?
If so, how?
Also, I see some of these parking services talking about keyword optimization - does this mean if you register redwidgets.com and choose red widgets as your keywords, you might get your parked page indexed in the search engines and get a click or two from people searching for red widgets?
Try to buy well formed generic domains like:
<snip/edit>City+Topic/Subject.com or Topic/Subject+"Center".com
