    You won't make anything from this site. It's just an Amazon store and 4 articles. Unless it has a ton of traffic and you're actually making some money from it, flipping it at this point would be useless.

    I'd develop it further and get into other affiliate programs

    I agree with Suzanne.

    Add more, or other affiliate programs (eBay would be great if they let you in, http://www.ebaypartnernetwork.com ).

    Or, flip the site:

    Good Luck,

    I am guessing that you mean Google banned your Adsense? Because the domain largeshoesizes.net isn't banned from their search engine...

    If the domain itself is blacklisted from displaying Adsense on it though - you need to make that clear to whoever you flip it to.

    List it on ebay and get what you can for it. It will just tie up aot of your time, when you could be doing other things. Amazon sites don't make much money unless they have tons of traffic.

    I don't see where you are building a list on this site, you can start there.

    There are lots of affiliate offers you can promote instead of adsense. I would suggest you promote these once people join your list as I'm not a big fan of blatant selling on my site.

    Use alternatives on Adsense. Google: "adsense alternative"

      Affiliate programs will not be of any good, if you do not have traffic to your site. Focus on getting a lot of traffic, not on monetizing as much at this point.

          The question is not how to get the traffic, but what to do with it. Always think one step ahead!

          There are a lot of ways to drive traffic, some of them are fast, others slow.

          The fast ways are through PPC, JV partners, and Social Media
          The slow ways are through SEO (Search Engine Optimization, Article Marketing, YouTube videos and podcasts).

          The fast way requires some resources, like time (to build trust with potential partners) and money (for PPC). Social media traffic is not very effective, since social media is used to introduce yourself, instead of marketing what you've got.

    In all honesty you can make money from doing what your site is designed to do: sell amazon products, but it will need a complete redesign as far as style and design are concerned.

    Then you need to do your marketing and promotional work - for a site like this your best off using PPC and targeting to different locations (womans shoes large sizes near london/norwich/califonia), that will bring you in a healthy supply of quality traffic - otherwise if you haven't the means to pay for advertising then you're best off looking at some organic traffic solutions for your site; Facebook Marketing for example.

    Social Media Marketing can and is very effective to promote a niche such as "large size womans shoes" - I would certainly advise using Facebook and Twitter to market your store - but you really need to sort out its image first!!

    What is it with shoes and handbags? - are they the new viagra? My WPMU sites are getting absolutely bombarded with splogs and 80% of them are shoe/handbag related.

    I don't mean any disrespect to people in this niche but it really seems to be over-aggressively marketed at the moment. That spells 'tough' in my books.

    Before you make any money with this site you need to get some traffic to it by writing press release, article and posting on similar forums. Try CPA offer by joining an affiliate network that's similar to your site.
