siteholder is an unknown quantity at this point

  Old  How many undeveloped domains do you have?

I was looking over my GoDaddy account and realized that I'm up to 20 domains in my stable - and only five have been developed at all. I get a new idea and run to register a name but then don't have time to do it all.

I made a resolution to not buy any more until my first 20 are developed, which I am busy working on now. The good part is that some of my domains have aged nicely so should give a bit of extra SEO boost.

How many domains do you own and how many are actually developed?

I own three, none are developed. One is a temporary domain for my portfolio and the other two worthless domans I tried to use some time ago. I'm just letting them drop.

Hello,

I currently have 3 that are undeveloped. I put ads on the domains so it feels like it's not a complete waist. I do plan on developing them though.

I just canceled a few I was tired of maintaining, but overall, probably 50-60 not in use.

About 5-6. One of these days I will put up a website, well at least that's the plan since the last 8 months. :-)

At least 10, although at one point some of them were actually developed but I lost interest in the site and just shut it down. I plan on reinstating some of them though when I get the chance as I have some really good ideas, just haven't had the time nor money to go through with it. I've also let a few expire as I completely lost interest in some of them.

Right now I just have one that I abuse and pay for hosting and do nothing with. I hope to change that with some free time but in order to do that I need to stop with the OT (work), grrr.

Wow, 20 domains are way too many for me. But it would provide you multiple streams of income once you successfully develop the website. While you are constructing the websites, why don't you park the domains or put Adsense on them?

Off the top of my head I'd say about 6.

The parking and Adsense parking idea are actually pretty good, even if you don't earn a lot, it's better to earn something than nothing plus when someone visits the website there will at least be some content on them instead of an error.

Several of my domains are planned for Adsense but you can't put Adsense on an undeveloped site. As to 20 domains being too many, not at all. When I'm done, I plan on having over 100 but many will be mini-sites based on product niches using Adsense and affiliate programs like Amazon. That way there isn't an ongoing need to update them.
