What is your choice and which one is better according to you? Suppose you are promoting pay day loan offer. What you do from the followings- [1]Create one landing page and upload it to your existing site like yoursite.com/paydayloan.htm . [2]Register one new domain name like payday-loan-offers.com and then through a mini site with 10 to 12 pages about pay day loan? The second one is better according to some super affiliates while thousands are opting for the first option only. Which one is your choice?
feel free to PM me. I work directly with payday loan lenders and can provide some insight into what we're looking for.
Single Landing Page Quick to Build Easy to Maintain Mini-Site Google Likes you More (quality Score, natural traffic) Harder to maintain Easy to loose sales with non-sales pages.
Nice summary help desk. I would add better conversion rates to the single landing page benefits. (based on my testing)
single page has always worked besst for me, tried the mini site and it did take along time to complete because you need to write your own copy, buy your own pictures etc.... one pagers have done good for me now, but am continuing to experiment with mini sites.
My next venture will be somewhat of a mini site so I'll test that compared to my single page. ( Same offers and niche too )
Mini-sites are more involved -- if you are targeting many areas can be a management nightmare. But if done right, they will typically perform well. Google likes big sites with many crosslinked pages - so in a way having one domain will benefit too. It probably does not matter which way you go as long as you focus on marketing what you have/develop. If you bring focused traffic to focused pages you will have good conversion either way. BTW, you may want to try credit-land.com affiliate program or cobranded for your traffic as it is relevant and will increase your profits.
