A little off the personal finance beaten path, but when I first started blogging I was basically an idiot and purchased a ton of domain names.  I was pretty naive to say the least.  Most of which dealt with law (I wanted to develop a little law blog empire down the line), and others.  I think some may have some value but many others do not.  Some examples are discreditors.com, 4agy.com, injuryautolaw.com, superiorcourtlaw.com, lawcollaborative.com, and mobilepublicrelations.com (bought for a friend who has no interest in developing it).  What do you do when you get stuck with a bunch of domain names?  Any ideas?

You can park them for profit, like GoDaddy and other services will place ad pages on your domain, and you'll get paid for income generated from your domain.

That's the best idea. You could also add some content to them so that they will generate some traffic and sell the sites for more money.

Do some link building and sell them on flippa. 

Or set up an autoblog adsense site, but only ethically please.  Stolen blog posts are no good. 

Or get an SEO hosting account and start a blog network that interlinks to your own projects and sell links on the network to boost other site's SEO value.

Or find an affiliate program on topic with the url and work at making some eventually-passive income.

Or write them off and stop renewing.

I like Jason's suggestion about the affiliate program the best. If you can find a good affiliate program with an SEO optimized sales page, the targeted domain name will give that page more credibility and you will get some good passive income. At least enough to pay for the renewals.

You can also do AdSense for domains (park domains)

Given the growth of the internet and limited number of decent .coms, a .com would be the last thing I sold right now.  If they're decent (have more than a few thousand Google searches per month, or in a high CPC niche) then hold onto them!
