I have set up a couple of top level domains, www.thissite(.)com and then created a bunch of subdirectories off of it specifically to promote cb products. For example. www.thissite(.)com/product1 etc... Then I create a folder for the product, and in the index file this hoplink cloaker html ; <html> <head> <title>Loading page...</title> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;URL=http://AFFILIATE.PUBLISHER.hop.clickbank.net"> <script> url='http://AFFILIATE.PUBLISHER.hop.clickbank.net'; if(document.images) { top.location.replace(url); } else { top.location.href=url; } </script> </head> <body>Loading <a href=http://AFFILIATE.PUBLISHER.hop.clickbank.net>page</a>... </body> </html> Will something like this work just as a way to link from articles, and for ppc or am I doing more work than I need to? Also, is it better to use a subdomains or subdirectories, or does it even matter? Thanks
For me, I get a domain for a general niche then I create subfolders for every CB products and other micro niches. Subdirectories would be better because search engines see the sub domain as a totally new website otherwise subfolders that would be seen as new topics under the main website.
If you are promoting via PPC, I think its better to invest in a cheap .info domain (2.99$) and if the campaign takes off, you might develop the domain into something better, thus upping your quality score as well as giving you an asset which you can later sell if you want to opt out of that niche.
