Country: | I wish you good luck. Don;t take this the wrong way just some constructive criticism. One thing is your idea is breaking just about every search engine rule. IE Most likely to get all your names blacklisted from jump street. For starters it's one page loaded with feeds and mostly affiliate links. If you're going to make a go at affiliate programs with your names (and I wish you all the luck in the world there) I would target the names to subject specific programs and use landing pages similar to what you have. And even then you are still at the mercy of advertising managers and their budgets which will most likely make cuts (not pay out on sales) on your end to increase their bottom line over time.

all my domains which generate 5-10K unique traffic
| How many names ?
Also depending on how targeted the traffic is I doubt you will have much success. Even when a name is highly targeted and receives thousands of visitors a month the sign up or purchase rate is very low 1:1000-1:3000 plus depending on the industry. So assuming ALL your names have nothing to do with dntower ( not sure what this means to a consumer ) and therefore not targeted I predict low sign up per month if any and if low $XX payout per sign up/sell. How is this beating a ppc I will wait to see. Good Luck

DNF$: 3,593 | 6 month test? I think you'll be able to tell after 1 week that this doesn't convert as well. Your page will have an incredible bounce rate. Reminds me of banner farm pages from the late 90's. But I wish you the best of luck. I think individual pages for each type of traffic with relevant ads or affiliate content would work better. |

DNF$: 5,995 | A major issue with your plan which you may not be aware of is some programs do not count redirected traffic as a unique visit and often will not count them as valid visits even if they click or order. Very few domainers know about this, which I know about from hands-on experience. |

Country: | I don't think this strategy will work, directing all traffic to a page with affiliate links for webhosting, pills, hotels, toys, etc. - all unrelated - just makes a page people will click away from as fast as they can. If you do this, it's better to make a page for each subject matter at least - casino links for gambling domains, webhosting for tech domains, movie links for movie domains, etc. Landing on a page full of unrelated banners is a real turn off for most surfers. Just my two cents, I think this is the kind of thing a lot of people do when they start out - build a page with so many affiliate links, you think that anyone will find something they like. But it really doesn't work.
At the very least, try to give it the appearance of a directory, group your banners under categories, and have a title at the top saying something like "best offers on the net", or "the web's best services". Not trying to be negative here, just passing on my own experience. |

Country: | I do applaud your effort to try something new. It's good to try different things, tweak here, adjust there, and so on to try to do better. My earlier post wasn't meant to discourage, just things I've learned from my own experience. You may find one or two of those banners does well for you, in which case you can highlight them more, drop programs that don't work, try new ones, etc. Keep working towards what works better, etc. |

DNF$: 100 | you are 100% correct about parking - a disgrace the whole industry. I have tried them all and am dissatisfied with all of them. Right now I think Google's legal problems are really grinding things down too.
So what next? OK you tried the lucky dip approach - I think you've got to do a bit more. Why not start with your top 5 domains - nicest/highest UVs/clear targeting - then pretend you have just 5 domains. Build 5 different ideas - see which one works best and build on that. You may need to evolve several different models as different markets seem to have different customer urgency. In vacations/travel/holidays - people seem to click anything. In finance/mortgages/loans - more choosy. Try CPM and PPC mixed together. Once you have a page that is working then you can start pointing all the related domains to a version of it. I tried all this once - it is a lot of work - and at that time parking was still paying well so I abandoned it. You are probably not alone these days ..
Don't feel you have to develop all your domains - it will slow you down. 5 sites which work well is better than 100 mediocre ones. Plus the knowledge you gain from the 5 that are working will be invaluable. |

DNF$: 2,747 | This is going to be very little money. Untargetted hits to a banner farm on CPA is not going to perform very well. Let us know how this compares to your PPC earnings. |

imo...
it's better to redirect the "targeted traffic" directly to the affiliate code for each specific product, rather than letting visitors hit a page with those affiliate banners or text links.
