Ask HN: Best Use for Spare Domain Names
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.
I'm trying to determine the best use for these names. Right now I have many of them pointing to my active website(s).
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?
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.
- WillyF 16y agoYou could list them here and see if anyone else could use them.
- WadeWilliams 16y agoI've seen the trade domains threads here on HN. The domains I have are all niche related so I really don't think there'd be any interest.
- jason_slack 16y agoTry us. I have a collection of names as well..
- gauravgupta 16y agoI 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 :)
- JamesDB 16y agoMay as well list them here. Could find a taker.

- WadeWilliams 16y agoThanks for the link. I actually already had that site open in the next tab over from this thread. Good stuff.
- WadeWilliams 16y agoI 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. Does any one have any feedback to that degree, good or bad?
