crap ratios maybe, but they are the webmasters indivdual crap ratios.

send a test of say 20k uniques and see what your traffic converts as, every one is different.

20k is a pretty small test, might wanna go all the way to 50 or even 100k uniques.
So now you're talking about "working" the domain. I suppose I could send 20k of traffic from Choker and see how it works. The good stuff or the bad stuff and what's the cost? Not to mine of course as I will never have one.

Would just putting up a redirect on that domain, pop up or some advert that made them click the link work better? Just spend a few hours setting it up and leave it.

Would selling the traffic the domain gets, return a better revenue.

I can see if people have domains and all they do is tell the host to set them up, or already set. Then PR do the rest it's something for nothing. It just seemed to me with some of the stats being posted that these unworked domains were getting a lot of traffic, traffic that went to the site 1-20 and converted very poorly. Seems to me the traffic could be put to better use by a simple redirect or banner ad.

I'm sure you guys have better performing sites that would love some extra traffic that costs nothing.
