How to monetize domains with dashes or hyphens - SageMother - 03-24-2008

Based on what I've been reading, several people seem to rely strictly on parking. They have hundreds or even thousands of web sites that pull in anywhere from $10 to $100 per year.
Others focus in on developing a domain and holding onto it. They have no intentions of ever selling the domain. There seem to be few very successful people in this space who were wise and lucky enough early on to acquire generic domain names.
I'm trying to figure out where the best return on time and labour is when it comes to domaining. I have a day job and really don't have a great deal of time to develop a site to the point where search engines will take it seriously. A one or two page site just doesn't get much respect in the search engine world.
Do you have any recommendations for getting a site up quickly with a small amount of effort?
People tend to do better by building on something they enjoy instead of focusing on the money side of domain development. Using common maneuvers like keyword rich, high quality content to create value is usually a better objective. Then, go over to Adbrite and sell some ad space, to avoid getting too locked in with Google!
