    Isnt the domain basically saying Forexforex or am i missing another abbreviation of FX? Anyway on topic, there is quite alot of API's out there to pull live data to use in development. Such as current rates on stocks and Currency's for informational or comparison of charts etc.

    Other options depending on your budget or experience are maybe "fantasy forex"of which members can trade for fun ( a little like the demo mode on real broker sites ) but you could make it more social.

    Discussion forum or Q&A site ? There is a whole host of things you could do with any domain, it just depends how serious and committed you are to make it work.

    There are numerous forex affiliate programs and a huge amount of information about forex you can re-work, but it's one of the most competitive sectors there is.

    Unfortunately the fact that you're asking this suggests you may not be the person to do it.

    If you're serious, spend a few months learning all you can about the industry.

    To be honest the domain isn't anything special.

    Thanks guys. I just want to put something on the site because I can't sell the domain. It's not going to be my main project so I just want something quick and easy, and maybe an affiliate programme recommendation.

    Anyone got anymore suggestions?

    Equally, if anyone wants to buy the domain feel free to PM me an offer.

    Not being able to sell a domain isn't a good enough justification for the effort required to develop it.

    If anything, it's quite the opposite.

    I actually bought it here for a fair amount of money. I know it's a high revenue sector. If I can't sell it just want to stick something on it. I like to make use of assets if at all possible, even if I can't dedicate that much time to this particular one. Thanks for your comments though.

    That isn't justification either. A good investor knows when to cut his losses.

    I don't think it's a loss. It's in a sector with good potential. The only problem is I think I underestimated the possibility of selling the domain, but the sector itself is good and suitable for development.

    I'd recommend building a website on it, one with a design like this , then post it here again asking for any link swaps for it and then tweeting it to your twitter follows

    What is the point..? This needs to be a full time project, why do you ask these dumb questions when you have zero ability to:

    1. listen to anybody
    2. take action
    3. build a site
    4. take time to learn a cms like Wordpress
    5. have a site that earns

    Are you just an attention seeker..?

    Sir, you are a cock.. now go tell teacher

    You're right, there is no point, because I hardly ever get any sensible answers. So, I guess it was just habit, and an attempt to promote some discussion. It is pretty futile though, and if anything it probably harms my business interests, it was just to discuss things really.

    You've been offered advice from members who have years of business experience, who have successful businesses, who know what they are talking about and all you do is ignore it.

    Can you blame people for getting pissed off at you? ... no

    I'm not sure why I've bothered, but I've had a quick look through the list of domains you've got on your Keyphrase domains site.

    None of us can hope to make any significant income from throwing quick sites together any longer. You need to pick a site and develop it to its full potential before moving on.

    In terms of your headline act, lowprices.co.uk, I think you should look at what Nick has done with finditforless. Yes he still needs to scale the site to make it a genuine money-maker, but contrast it with your site and there's no comparison.

    Why throw up a quick fx site when it's a massively tough market to enter and will make precisely zero return.

    Out of your other domains you list, I would personally drop all of them with the exception of a few.

    cashcompetitions.co.uk and greatprizes.co.uk are ok. Competition sites are a big earner, all you need to do is advertise and work to build a list. The cash site has the potential to be a good little niche site and earn £500+ per month. Not massive, but better at least.

    expertmarketing and noiseconsultants have some resale value.

    Your profile suggests you've got lots more domains than those listed here, but the first profitable move you should make is to cut your renewal expenses.
