Cloud Domains with awsome type in search question.

[Dynamic1]

Hey guys I am kind of lost here so this is a what would you do question.
I have 4 cloud domains getting a couple of million exact google searches a month each.
I looking for creative ideas. I kind of know I am going to have to develop here but what route to go.
Time is really tight for me these days. Thanks in advance.
BTW they are all .coms

Thx Godolphin this is what I am doing now but I do not trust sedo "current affiliate"
I have took names off sedo and put them on my own servers and the numbers were so off from sedo. Like low 100s = high 1000s of hits a month. With a different site.

I was thinking if I want maximum exposure I am going to have to develop, I kind of just need a little direction here as to with whom due to me taking on too much at once.

Before developing I like to clearly define my exit strategy. It helps out significantly in determining the best route for development.

Is your goal to:
build passive income?
manage the site part time?
manage it full time?

Long term is your goal to:
keep the site and branch off into other areas?
sell it when it gets to a pre-defined revenue target?

The more clearly you define this criteria, the easier it will be to both get ideas from others and also quickly disgard ineffective monetization strategies.

I know you mentioned time is tight right now, but typically you'll get out of it what you put into it.

JMHO

Best of luck!

I actually work in the industry and cloud is REALLY general. Is cloud in the actual domain name or is it a particular search like openstack, Citrix Xen, VMWare/ESXi etc? Is it more general or maybe it needs further definition whether you approach it from a SaaS, PaaS, IaaS or XaaS. Is this hosting related because I can tell you at the enterprise level there is nothing about anything to do with affiliate programs. The only way you are going to monetize from affiliate services is via the SaaS route. ie, salesforce.com etc. If hosting is the way you want to go then it's all about commodity hosting. Maybe a noob site regarding cloud stuff and add amazon type stuff for recommended reading and also certification courses for those wanting to look for work in the industry which would actually be perfect since the economic climate sucks right now. How much traffic do the names get now?
