PR3 FREE LINK to whom ever can give me the best advice for this domain

[tldrental]

I am sorting through my domains today wanting to get rid of uglies and might have found a diamond in the rough, but still an ugly diamond at that.

http://yotd.net/

It has a Google PR3, and I have no clue how. I hand registered the domain name Feb 08. I have invested absolutely 0% effort into it and have all about forgot about http://yotd.net/ until today.

It only has 4 backlinks as reported by estibot, I only get a steady 1 - 4 unique a day with a less then par CTR.

How or why did it get a PR3, maybe if I ignore my other domains they will become PR3 also.....lol!!


Enough of the small talk, I think I should now exploit the PR3 of this site since it is the only PR3 site I own and use it to link back to my other domains. I am going to set up new hosting to be on a separate IP range.


Any ideas on what I can do with a domain name as ugly as http://yotd.net/ ? That would still be viable to link back to all my domains?

Or

Should I just choose a niche and stick with it and only link back to the websites that apply. What niche would work best with ugly http://yotd.net/ ?

Anyone who give me a good idea and I use it I will put a couple links to your site on the home page of said site http://yotd.net/ , in a years time i will have it up to a PR5 or better.


Or

Should I just make this a lame directory site? Which search engines may turn against in the near future?


I can promise you I am not making any PPC income from this domain to write mom about. I have to do something to it.

Choose a niche. Develop it. Then wait for advertisers to come.
I developed a website last year. Forgot about it and haven't updated it after I discovered domain parking. Last month, an advertiser contacted me to seek permission to advertise on my site. Is good money. My site's PR3 too.

This got me into thinking if i should develop more sites and wait for advertisers to approach me instead of using Adsense. This cuts off the middleman.

This is a great idea. I have decided to do this with my top 5 names, and see what happens.

I also agree with choosing a niche and developing the .net name. I would start with the acronym finder, and get all the possible results for those letters, and choose the area that either a) interests you, or b) will pay out the most.

YOTD.net was a music website of a band named:
"Year of the Dragon"

I was born in the year of the Dragon, so I think that would be a cool name. Don't copy their site, but that is probably what folks are looking for - even though it closed in 2002.

How much are you getting for the link on your site?

I didnt think of checking waybackmachine because this was a hand register, so how is it that I bought it from godaddy?

No, this is a door to my domains that do not are not ranked or a PR0. Which are most.

So guys this is what I came up with

After googling I now know that all the sites that show up in a "yotd" search are "Spyro: Year of the Dragon" (video Game) and "Year of the Dog"

I also know that http://yotd.com was created some time ago beore 05 and has a PR0 and I hand regd mine feb 08.

Does this spur any ideas?

Ranges from $50 to $200 a year.
Develop the site. Get backlinks. Advertisers sometimes arrive at my site while searching for backlinks.

Ok, guys I appreciate all the good feedback. I have not made a decision at this point of what to do with this domain name. The one thing I know I will do is using it for back linking. For now I will leave it parked at Parked.com and use the Parked WYSIWYG to manually create back links. You guys should check out what I have done, open to more suggestions.

To show my appreciation to everyone that participated in this discussion I am giving each of you who have participated up until this point a FREE backlink.
