Did you know that you can use sub domains and link them to your affiliate links. Most of you gurus probably already new about this however I just found this out today to my delight,its also a great way to keep your affiliate commissions from been stolen.

Subdomains get treated as different sites though…

I think that a subdomain definately carries more weight with regard to backlinks! Also subdomains allow you to put your keywords at the front of the domain, which have more weight and prominence. I also agree that its easier to track a subdomain stats, with folders there is some crossover. Search Engine Optimisation - Casseva's last blog post..Search Engine News 3

Hello Jack

The main benefit I see of using subdomains vs folders is that I also get separate detailed statistics for each subdomain, so I know exactly how it is/isn’t working for me.

Putting the major, “different” parts of your site/marketing strategy into separate subdomains makes it easier to see what’s happening with visits and referrals etc – i.e. your blog, affiliates section etc.

Another example… if you run any sort of local banner advertising server, run that on a subdomain so all the impressions and image displays etc don’t confuse the “real” stats of your main site.

Thanks for recognizing Eric’s post. One of the interesting aspects of Google’s “announcement” — when Matt speaks, people listen. But they don’t always hear the right thing. Matt was generous enough to post the correct version of his talk — and thank those for correcting their updates that misinformed readers of other blogs.

Cheers,
