You’ve found that you’re starting to have a number of great ideas for niche market sites, and wonder what the best, most economical way is to find web hosting for your new niche market empire. There are several ways to go with this, but let’s focus on the two most prevalent practices; first, hosting your new sites on subdomains of a site you already own, and second, utilizing new domains, (usually on the same web host) for a completely separate site

Are you a frustrated site owner? Have you ever thought about a website strategy of using sub-domain name or add-on domain? You want to have many different types of projects that you want to run separately but your domain name is not compatible?

You are really stuck about this issue and the moment you think about it you feel like throwing your computer out of the window? Hey, don’t do it! I have good news for you. It ensures that your projects are through without any problems.

You have one website strategy that allows you to operate those projects separately as websites within your primary domain name. You can register a new, expired or premium domain names and add it to your existing website. In fact, you can use this website strategy in marketing your online business.

Why am I saying that you can use it as a website strategy in marketing your online business? You see, the good thing of buying an expired or premium domain name is that they have been already in use for some time. This means that they are popular among surfers, and again they are listed on various directories. This also means that search engines value them.

You won’t spend any bucks and time trying to market your online business so that it becomes popular or for it to be ranked well on the search engines.

There exists a clear distinction between a sub-domain name and an add-on domain name. When you have an add-on domain name, it is like having a separate website with its own content. It has its own URL. There is a fee charged for directing it to your online business.

Sub-domain name on the other hand has a URL linking to your primary domain name. This means that it doesn’t have its own URL hence it is not operating as a separate website with its own content. There is no fees charged for directing it to your online business.

Before buying an expired domain name or a premium domain name to use as your add-on domain or sub-domain, you should appraise it first.

Five Appraisal Qualifications to Consider

1. Appraise the type of extension. A good premium and expired domain name should be the one with a dot com extension.

2. A good expired or premium domain name should have few reputable relevant outbound links and many reputable relevant inbound links.

3. These domain names should be listed to many relevant directories that rank well on the search engines.

4. Premium and expired domain name should qualify the good traits of a domain name such as being short and easy to memorize.

5. They should not be the ones that were used previously by a spam site. Your site will be regarded the same if you use them.

Now you know this website strategy, go ahead and use it.

When it comes to setting up your Blog, there are many options and it’s enough to drive you crazy.

Here is some information for each option…

Blogger Versus WordPress

- WordPress offers a lot more customization and has more marketing and SEO power.

- Some people think since Google owns Blogger it gives you a boost – that is not true.

- Blogger has more rules you must follow and it could potentially limit a marketing technique or tactic.

My experience and personal opinion is that any Blog is better than no Blog but if you want to get the most out of your Blog – go WordPress.

There are other Blog platforms as well, but I consider the two main contenders to be WordPress and Blogger so that is all I have commented on.

Once you’ve decided on your Blog platform, you then have to decide on your Blog structure.

There has been a lot of debate about a Sub-Domain versus a Sub-Directory versus setting up a new domain.

A sub-domain would be: blog . yoursite . com

A sub-directory would be: yoursite . com/blog

A whole new domain would be: newdomain .com

If you go with a whole new domain, then you have no “trust” and history built up and it may take longer for the Blog to get picked up.

It used to be that a sub-domain was treated as its own separate site with a root directory so you got the benefit of link juice and you potentially got more listings in the SERPs (search engine results pages). Since December 2007, Google states this is no longer the case. So you aren’t really getting any extra link juice from this structure.

Matt Cutts, the public face of Google had this to say about sub-domains versus sub-directory (as related to the December 2007 change):

“Note that this is a pretty subtle change, and it doesn’t affect a majority of our queries. In fact, this change has been live for a couple weeks or so now and no one noticed. The only reason I talked about the subject at PubCon at all was because someone asked for my advice on subdomains vs. subdirectories.”

He then goes on to say: “My personal preference on subdomains vs. subdirectories is that I usually prefer the convenience of subdirectories for most of my content.

A subdomain can be useful to separate out content that is completely different. Google uses subdomains for distinct products such news .google. com or maps . google . com, for example.

If you’re a newer webmaster or SEO, I’d recommend using subdirectories until you start to feel pretty confident with the architecture of your site. At that point, you’ll be better equipped to make the right decision for your own site.”

Although his feedback wasn’t directly related to setting up Blogs, it still applies. So, based on that feedback, and my own personal success and experience I too vote for a sub-directory.

Don’t forget, you may as well make it as search engine friendly as possible and rather than just call the sub-directory Blog (ex: yoursite . com/Blog) you could use a keyword or short keyword phrase (ex: yoursite . com/keyword-Blog or yoursite . com/keyword-phrase-Blog)

So in summary – any Blog is better than no Blog, but to get the most power from your Blog, go with a WordPress Blog in a sub-directory named with a keyword on your own server. Make sure you learn about all the necessary plugins and configure them properly to get the most out of your Blog. Hey – that sounds like a great article topic. Stay tuned!
