Many of us have unused domains. We buy them, let them sit doing nothing pointing to a default parked page or redirecting to another existing website we have.

Is it the right approach for aging unused domains? Answer is no. So how you properly do that?

• Make a simple website. WordPress blog or similar are easy to install. Or you may have a generic template for a website you can use.
• Throw in a few pages of unique content.
• Get few backlinks. Directory submission and social networking site submission are easiest approaches.

Getting backlinks is important for getting your domain name indexed so when you are ready with your new site for the domain it will index much faster. Or if you wanna sell it, you have a good starting point.
