What would you do with several hundred banned sites?

Sites were of the auto-gen'd micro niche variety (not adsense) and were pretty spammy by most standards, but they paid for themselves while they were indexed. I have lots of them so I really can't invest too much time in doing anything with them that would not make bank. That being said, from a time/risk/reward perspective, I'm thinking it's just best to let them expire since they've already paid for themselves and anything else I could do with them will be limited, time consuming, and likely not worth it.

The only other thing I might consider, since they are still indexed in Binghoo, would be to try and rank them better with Bing through automated link blasts and other automated links since this would not take up much of my time and link spam still works in Bing (at least it used to).

So should I just let 'em go? Try and rank them in Bing? Something else I have not considered?
 


At first, I would have said ditch them, but you do have a very good point. Automated bulk links still perform pretty well in Yahoo/Bing so I would suggest trying that on a couple of your sites and if you get some good results, push them all and try to bank as much as possible.
 
If by banned you mean completely deindexed in Google and likely penalized as well, someone would probably give you pretty good money for them so they can build a negative SEO network.
 
Hey, Elvis, I just now saw your reply and I never thought of that. Thanks for the tip. I would not personally engage in negative SEO myself, but it wouldn't be me doing it and I can't control what someone does with my sites that I no longer own.

What do you think "pretty good money" would be for 1,500 banned sites? And, yes, I do mean completely de-indexed in google (fucking panda), very much penalized and totally fucked in general.
 
Like you I don't waste my time on neg SEO (especially the overoptimized anchor text style,) so even if I guessed a number, it wouldn't do you much good. But I can just see someone salivating at setting up an ALN lookalike on purely deindexed domains. It would be risky on their part, possibly a waste of time and money, but possibly very lucrative for the right person. Or with that many domains on hand, just 301 a handful to each competitor. I'd just see if anyone will make you an offer.
