    Not really sure where to ask this so will put it here.

    Have a domain, its on autorenew, at the moment I use it to sell an ebook.

    http://cutpricefuel.co.uk/

    I think its a good name, and its just sitting there costing me nothing.

    I bought it with the idea of creating a map of UK petrol prices and charging petrol stations for featured adverts, but this is too ambitious.

    I could SEO it and use google adwords, however there seems to be a problem with my account and I cannot login (not banned, but cannot make a new account or i will be banned) (when I activated my android phone I created a googlemail account, which overwrote my googlemail account linked to google adwords, but I cannot login to Adwords with the new or old email address).

    Alternativly there is affiliate marketing, never done this before.


    Or I could sell it but its not worth very much as it stands.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Stick a Google Pin Map on it and Wiki type/style site to make it user built/led? :)

    You could maybe make it into some sort of biofuel site - how to run your car on vegetable oil etc. Don't know if there are any direct affiliates, but maybe look at selling the components/tools to do this. Or even an e-book.

    It may be a good name, but it's not necessarily that valuable. That's because a huge amount of work is needed to build a site that is then in a position to take ads directly and therefore create a revenue stream. PetrolPrices.com has already done that.

    Personally I would invite offers for it here. If you can't sell it, I would just leave it in place and monetise with something like AdSense, and move on to a more readily monetisable niche, unless of course you want to develop it properly.

    I'm definitely no CSS expert because my sites often end up horrible wrecks after I have hacked at the Joomla code but I think you have your character spacing set a little too narrowly and the line spacing is a bit too close together for my liking.
