Can anyone suggest something here. I own cheap dot holiday, which i am about to market for sale.

Before i do that i want to put an affiliate site up. I can get traffic too it and i can get mailing out to potential customers. So if i dont get the right offer at least it will be a working opportunity and perhaps i can earn a few pennies. (lets see what google does to these gTLD's)

I will soon own cheap dot (another gTLD). Is there an script that will simply allow me to change the filters and work on both domains? In which case i have many more coming and would prefer to use one script and throw a few domains up.

Any guidance appreciated.

I think you need to decide what the priority is, to sell the domain or build a site on it.

No matter what script you use, it's not going to make any money unless you promote it and if you do decide to use a duplicate content off the shelf script like the one above, promoting something like that puts the domain at risk and may put off future buyers. I personally wouldn't buy a domain which had links built to it running a script such as this. It's a recipe for disaster.

I'd suggest to either sit on the domain or if you do want to build a comparison site, do it properly. Unique locations, pooled hotel offerings, reviews etc. Something to add value as opposed to regurgitating what Sunshine.co.uk are already offering. These sites do not work anymore, particularly in a brand dominated niche like travel. Either become and brand with a value-add site - or sell the domain.

Sorry for the late reply, mad busy and never seem to get the time to do stuff outside of work anymore. This is the biggest issue!

In my experience a domain is difficult to sell at the best ofm times, with a site on it the potetnial buyer understands more about the domain and what that might mean. However you are correct, i dont want to burn the domain.

I wish i knew how to build the site you are talking about, and if i did i would need to find the time. I am a great seller but the rest is all too technical and i lack the time to learn.

what i need is a single page website....time to get the idiots guide out:)

thanks for you feedback guys

Does sunshine allow for USA based customer base, or is it pulling assuming the customer is UK, can i set that?
