I know fuck all about parked domains and such. I have a lot of .com's just sitting around with nothing on them.

So.....Starting from A and working through to Z, please show me how I can either turn a profit or build PR.

Feel free to point me to tutorials or whatever.....I'm not afraid to read and learn, just don't know where to start.

I'm a newb at that, but... only thing I can think of is redirect domains to affiliate programs (mainstream or adult) until you want to build them out.

At the company I'm at, we had someone approach us about pointing their domain to our site and they'd get a special cut on joins -- they thought they had a nice type-in domain. Didn't turn out too well, though I thought it was a nice idea at the time. *shrug*

as far as parking them goes, that is pretty easy

just set up an account at www.sedo.com

then add the domains into their control panel, point the domains dns to the sedo nameservers and the parked page will be there

I personally don't like parking at all, except for really good typein domains, and even for those develloping a site is better.

The reason is simple: Search engines don't like parked domains (using a parking service displaying relevant ads) and any age bonus is lost once the crawler finds the domain parked. So, if you registered a domain in 1999 and park it today, the odds are high that google will treat it like a totally new domain once you or a buyer decides to use it.

Parking can hurt the value of a domain, especially if it's not a typein domain and you miss alot of search engine traffic.

For domains I don't use, I put up a page with some text, ads, links relevant for the domain name. No design, just some stuff you can create in a html editor within 10 minutes. Then I interlink the domains by niche/topic, building little networks and link them from "real" sites, so search engines can pick them up.

I got loads of these placeholder sites, most PR1-3. Build, forget, wait and enjoy the search engine traffic while you look for opportunities to devellope them or sell them. Every shit you build in a few minutes is better than a parking service.
