There is little risk as long as any site they put on is on the same subject and continues in the same vein without doing anything naughty just like buying a site.

I am guessing that once leased then the ranking ceases to be your responsibility or is part of your monthly fee paid so that you guarantee a certain ranking ie on the first page of google? Also if its not your responsibility once it is leased does this create a large risk for the people taking on the lease? Cheers Car Scott,

I managed to lease the second domain purely down to it's generic value as a domain that described it's product perfectly, this was for £75 per month, my first lease was for £500 per month and this was based upon it's ranking in the top 10 in Google. So I feel I could lease out domains for £30-£75 per month unranked but get hundreds per month for ranked domains which is more what I am aiming for Andy, this means get stable rankings and will mean for me the beginning of next year before I can up my income significantly.

In one comment you say you leased an unranked, no traffic domain and later you suggest waiting a year to maintain a stable ranking. Were you just able to lease out the unranked domain because of a good oportunity or are you just suggesting to hold onto these domains for a year or so and get them ranked to increase the amount of the lease value? Basically, why wait a year to rank one domain but then lease another domain with no rank and no traffic? Im kind of confused here.

We had tried to lease out a couple when we only had them ranked on Yahoo & MSN. Even though they were getting traffic, the people basically said "call us when you're ranked in Google" For sure.
