I can't be the only one who is struggling to figure out how to use the GoDaddy cash parking. It's not that I can't get my domains into their system, it's that I have no idea how to use their system to optimize my earnings.
I initially left them on default. But, with 65 parked domains including names like these, how could I be making a few pennies a week?
CREDIT-CARD-VENDOR CREDIT-CARD-VENDOR.COM
CREDIT-CARD-VENDORS CREDIT-CARD-VENDOR.US
FLORIDA-VIRTUAL-ACADEMY FLORIDA-VIRTUAL-ACADEMY.COM
NEW-YORK-VIRTUAL-ACADEMY NEW-YORK-VIRTUAL-ACADEMY.COM
SKILLS4TOMORROW.COM SKILLS4TOMORROW.COM
So I've just been thru a process with their help line of understanding what their default settings are, what my choices are, and of changing and suggesting keywords for these domains. It was a pain. I had to set up folders, pick keywords, select industries and subindustries, and otherwise muck with a whole lot of configurations that I didn't really understand which I am convinced would be better handled algorithmetically.
We'll see.

Managing & Parking Unused Domains
Here's how I try to use my domains to help build traffic for SEO purposes. Examples (from my netfirms accounts):
Books Count - A url intended for our future reading program. Initially used as a parking place for the spellingcity software development effort. It's been one of my domains for over a year and about 11 months ago was populated. Since we wanted to be under the radar, it has no links. This posting is the first link to the site! Bookscount.com
Family Homeschool - This little 5 page website is put up with a site builder. It's unfinished. Nevertheless, the site has a google pr of 3! go figure. Familyhomeschool.org
Homeschool curriculum review - Another quickie website with a few pages of html that seems like I created it in word. It has good content and the right links and a google pr of 3. Why? Homeschool-curriculum-review.com. With it's strong url, I could alot with this one.
Homeschool Curriculum - This domain has no page rank, it is forwarded to homeschoolonline.org. homeschool-curriculum.biz
This approach of treating them one-by-one is kind-of fun and it is not the type of seo-work that the algorithm gurus at google are likely to care about. But, it's time-consuming and perhaps not very effective. Since I have a total of 150+ domains, is there a better way?
Previous Posts related to domain optimization (interesting to note how little progress I've made in this area despite having grown my number of domains to 150):
