New domain - let it sit or add some content?

I've bought a few domains, don't have the time to develop the sites right now but I wanted to claim the domains/age them.

The question is, whats best to do? Just leave them sit with registrar general page on it, or should I throw a WP with a few sentences of original content, explaining what the site will be about? Does it make a difference?

I've read somewhere that the age of a site is considered since it went live, not since it has been created. Anybody know if this is true?

    As you mentioned the best thing to do with it is match it with word press or any other blog and post some original content on blog.

    don't live empty like that

    Add some content and backlinks as soon as you can.

    The biggest misconception about domain age is that its from when the domain was created.

    Instead its actually based on how long Google's seen and has indexed that domain. By adding content and backlinks, the aging process then begins.

    If you want decent results further down the line put up a few hundred words of decent quality relevant content.

    Dont cut corners with copied spun articles, that would be counter productive.

    If you have time its always worth doing this... more than once I have come to use a "new" domain 10 months after regging it and wished I had indexed it with a page of content when I regged it...

    Just add content as possible as you can and build links to it. Maintain your link building consistency and you'll be okay.

    If you have all the articles ready to be published, what I like to do is post all of my administrative pages (about, contact, privacy policy), then schedule all of my target pages one day apart, and then schedule my supporting posts 2-4 days apart. So far it's been working pretty good but I only start getting decent traffic after 1-2 months.

    It would actually be far better if you set aside that factor(age) because there are even lots of other things that really matter than that. It's not that sites/domains that are older are the ONLY sites that can be seen on the first page of search engines.
