I’m not going to call it a raging success, since I did catch myself off on sidetracks now and then, but I did reach my goal and got myself to focus on a singular task until the end: fully cleaning up my site parking script. That’s not to say that the script is done by any means, as perfection is an impossibility. In fact, I came up with more than a handful of possible additions, tweaks, or mashups that I will most definitely be looking into sometime in the not too distant future. But the cleanup of that script, which was going to become harder and harder the longer I tacked more on, is done. It’s a lean mean fighting machine now… 
What has me especially amazed about this little script is it’s success. Not necessarily monetarily – I’m definitely not bringing it in hand over fist yet. But the traffic it’s bringing in on each of the sites I have it running on is impressing me. For instance, my ugg shoe site is pulling in just shy of 40 uniques a day, from a high of 2 prior to the new script being installed a week ago. Too early to tell on commissions from the eBay/Amazon items, but enough AdSense/Chitika earnings to essentially pay for the domain registration in that short period.
If I could pull off similar results fairly consistently, considering the minimal effort invested in the site – outside of the initial script development itself, of course – I could see putting up a couple hundred comparable sites in no time. Like, say, over a weekend. The potential is a mind-boggling!
The next couple days has me wanting to spend a little time back in BANS development mode. While the parks have potential for a trickling income (having flood potential with enough trickles), I still believe the more developed niche stores have much greater potential for real single-site passive income. Plus, I like building them…

I too have a few ebay affiliate sites, and after looking at your success with your parked pages, I’m also am going to throw one of those up on my dormant domains.
Your sites are a lot better looking than 45n5′s original work, you wouldn’t want to share the code, would you

Yeah, I really like the minisites, and the info I glean is the best part. I’ve got too many little ideas on expanding the script — I’ll have to force myself to just sit down and actually experiment!
And sorry Joe, but I think I’d like to keep this one in my pocket, at least for now. I’ve added so many little things on the backend anyway, that to get it to work outside of the setup I have would be nothing but a support nightmare…
