So right now I have approximately 100 adult domains, including some really nice ones I’ve had for around 10 years, that I have no idea what to do with and are just sitting unused (a crime, I know). They are in all kinds of niches. I was planning to just set up some quick RSS Feed blogs on all of them, but now with the issues of duplicate content etc., I think that would be a waste. I obviously wouldn’t have time to update them all, so I would need to do something where I can just set them up and leave them as is. What would you do? Set up a ‘Free Site’ type of site on them? Re-direct them to one of your better sites?
The main thing I’d like to use them all is to set up some kind of traffic network, to re-direct traffic to the sites we do update, but in a way that is not too time consuming. Anyone with lots of domains have any suggestions on a good and quick way to make use of these sites?
Why don’t you set up a one-page site for each one. Here’s what I’m thinking.
Let’s say you own Blond babes dot com. Why not set up a one-page template (and you could use this for the other 99) that features four blond babes from various sites. You could hire a writer to write the copy for you. Send the traffic to a couple of sponsors, put some banners up for your own properties, and move on to the next one.
You could do two a week, so it’s not a financial drain, and in a year you’d have them all covered. They probably won’t bring in heaps of traffic if they’re not updating, but if they’re targeted to very specific keyword phrases you could pick up some nice traffic over time.
Thanks! I really like your idea. My favorite part of your advice is where you recommend doing ‘2 per week’…it makes it feel a lot less stressful then doing them up all at once, which is what always made me procrastinate on it. A lot of the domains are former AVS sites in weird niches we don’t have, so I would definitely be promoting other sponsors on them as well. At this point I’ll just be happy if I can get them to pay for the cost of registration and that way I can keep them around in case I can use any of them to develop something bigger down the line.
I am already working with 2 writers at the moment.
I’m also about to do similar on a few domains I have out there doing nothing. I really need to decide which ones I have time to run blogs with and which will be better for traffic though. That could take an entire day in itself!
Domain addiction is a curse. I wish there was a support group.
welcome to the club LOL!!! I have about 800 adult domains, I would guess that about 250 are dormant too. I have been working on getting a few of those dormant ones setup each week, its taking forever but at least its progressing. I have also started selling off some domains that I know I will never fully monetize.
One thing you may want to look at is getting a few scripts to help out with the workload. I use Site Organizer as a quick and effective way to make and manage TGP sites and other one-page sites that have dynamic gallery content. I use Blogs Organizer for blog sites. I use TALS to standardize all my links (link jump script) and htmlrotate for banners & other rotating code. Finally, I have an unlimited license for tubeX from JMBSoft, setting up a new tube site now takes me about an hour.
LMK if you want any of those script links, & good luck getting your dormant domains active!
What I use to do is setup WP and write one or two posts just to get them exposed to Google. Then when I had the time to actually do something with I would come back to them. Shockingly I was scoring high for certain keywords.
The only issue there is that WP needs a lot of constant updates, that’s why for these type of sites I prefer using Blogs Organizer.
What I do with my WP blogs is create a folder in my bookmarks and then I bookmark every site’s wp-admin page. Then once I hear there is an upgdate, I use the browser’s built-in “Open All In Tabs” (in every bookmark folder at the bottom).
Also, FYI, if you are hosting with NationalNet, you can simply open a ticket and provide them with a list of WP sites & ask that they upgrade the WP installs for you.
Just use a host that offers “Fantastico”. You’ll get one-click-installs and automatic updates.

I do actually have around 30 domains I’ve set up like that already, or with RSS Feeds. I used to get sales from them here and there even just a year or two ago, but these days, they don’t make anything.

I also used to use Blog Organizer on a few blogs. They are good for blogs that I want to update, but for these sites I am thinking more just to set something up I don’t have to touch. I agree that with WP blogs you need to update them to get traffic, and realistically I’m not going to have time to update more sites then I already am. HTMLRotate is something I need though…I would take your link for that.
Pimproll’s Hosted Tube until you develop them further, takes literally a minute to set up a tube sites and can even make a few bucks as well.
That’s exactly what I was talking about. It’s perfect. I would get rid of the warning page myself and just have the content on the main index page, but that’s me. But I think if you did a 100 or so of these with some original text, and then maybe linked them all together on a hub page or something, that you could end up with some nice traffic.
