Ask HN: Best Use for Spare Domain Names

4 pointsby WadeWilliamsover 14 years ago
So I've accumulated quite the portfolio of worthless domain names. They're all top level domains so I suppose they aren't worthless - but I can't sell them for anything.<p>I'm trying to determine the best use for these names. Right now I have many of them pointing to my active website(s).<p>If I got a few generic keyword related articles together, built a few pages and give myself back links from some of these domains, would that be a bad thing? Would adsense get rid of me?<p>PS I know there was a similar ask HN thread posted about what you're doing with your unused domain names, but I'm having a hard time using google or searchyc to locate it.

I really posted this with the hopes of having some discussion about the validity of slapping together a few generic websites to squat on these domains that I own and build some back links to some other sites.<p>Does any one have any feedback to that degree, good or bad?

You could list them here and see if anyone else could use them.

I had a few as well. I posted them on Twitter as a "free giveaway" but with a catch - Justify the domain name with a good app and take it :)
