Do you buy a domain for each offer?

I've seen this being mentioned on a different thread buy I think it would be useful to have in it's own thread so it stands out.

This could save you a lot of time and money searching for the perfect domain name if you were to have one generic domain. Would you recieve any disadvantage in yahoo/google/msn if I did it this way?

Or should you buy a domain for each offer you plan on promoting and treat it totally seperate?

Nice post Richard I was just thinking this the other day.

If anyone of our more experienced members can chime in it would be nice.

As you know i am sure the domain bills can add up quickly,but then again a seperate domain must have some weight rather than sub domain/folder for the product offer.

what are members experiences and tips in this regard?

 

I've actually been asking around another forum about this and the overall opinion was that a seperate domain for each offer performs better. I also think it would look better to the user, therefore Google will hopefully be more friendly with the site

The majority of people said that 95% of the time they get better results from using a seperate domain. I'm only just starting out so I'm going to test the waters with 1 domain and 1 offer, I can see what happens from there.

Regarding costs hopefully each campaign will be making more than the ppc cost and domain renewal. That's the plan anyway.

domains cost nothing compared with ppc costs

 

I think your last line of your thread you are right Richard.

The only other way would be a generic domain example bargain.com with the sub/folder hanging off it as you changed and chopped products here and there.
I suppose trial and error with tracking is the best answer.

P.S i am more then sure if we were doing $1mil in turnover,we would not care for 1000 domains at $10 each or $20 with id hide
Heck yeah i will spend $50 Grand yealy for domains in that case without a blink

There you go we sort of answered our own Questions in a sense Richard.

 

Test the water to see if it actually converts plus not much competition. If everything works out, go for a domain. If you are new to affiliate marketing you probably give up on that affiliate and wasted money on domain if you see it converted well.

Also, like the above post stated. Domain cost is nothing really compare to how much you will have to spend for PPC. Don't think the domain cost as expense but rather investment

 

Yeah, if you are worried about the cost of a domain you may be in for a little wakeup call.

I would highly recommend buying a new domain for each offer

 

having a generic domain for lots of offers can cost more in the long run...

think about it / if you're promoting insomnia cures and your domain is insomnia-cures.com ... google will raise your quality score and lower your costs.
you will also get a higher CTR most likely and possibly higher conversion

compare that if you had used the domain great-offers.com

use the URL as a 4th line of ad ... put the keyword in there if possible it will raise your QS and CTR making both you and G happy.
