    Well i u wanna low ur cost, then go for subdomains, but jst remember dont make subdomain like health.forex.com instead of this just buy any short nd simple domain...many ppl will say u that subdomain can b ranked in google, but thats just totally wrong, m few sites with subdomains are ranking on first page ov google..

    yeah your first plan would be very, very pricey if you're going to be buying even remotely close quality domains such as the ones you listed. if you can find decent keyworded domains like buy-cheap-clothes.com, then by all means go for it. but subdomains would obviously be the most inexpensive way to go.

    I would recommend going with the subdomains if you are looking to keep the price down.

    Thanks for your replies. If the domain names are available, so I just need afford the fees of registration. I can afford it. I wonder which type is more better for seo. Thanks again!

    If someone should offer to buy one of your sites, you would not be able to sell a subdomain.
    Also, if you should break one of Google's rules and get your primary site banned, you would lose all of your sites.

    I think the subdomains would work best for you also. Besides being pricey it can also be a lot of work to maintain lots of different domains.

    Because it is a lot of work to maintain lots of different domains, you should flip them for profit after they have established a money-making track record.
