individual domains vs one-fit-all domain for aff marketing

[int_josh]

I've been faced with a dillema - buy a domain to test an offer out and be out of 10$ in case it flops or use one-fit-all type of website with some generic name that is neutral.

Any advice on this guys?

I think it depends on your method of gaining traffic. If you are using PPC, then I don't think there are many disadvantages to using a one site fits all. Unless of course it gets banned, but then you can just restructure your campaigns.

If you are going for search engine traffic, you will definitely want individual (and keyword rich) URLs.

Keyword rich domains for PPC are helpful (so I hear) for QS. Targeted works best, as targeted as you can get it.

keyword all the way unless its branding purposes only...there seems to be a large surge in name-register.com names and how they are being picked up in the serps.....the SEO's know this so all the goodname-register.com are taken

im registering -names big time right now...still good ones to be had

back to that $10. You have to spend to make man....most of the larger affiliates spend that every minute but expect a 10% return so spend $1000 and make $1100. so i hope your ad budget is good?

I think you should set a budget for domains you will buy so you can stop worrying about it. Set maybe $200 for domains you can potentially fuck up in a month or whatever. If you try that many in a month, I'm sure at least one or two will stick. IMO, it's a waste of time to worry about something like $10 so the sooner you get over it, the better. And .coms are like 7$ at godadddy after a coupon code so no point thinking it too much.

If your doing ppc, who cares if the domain has a kw in it... If your doing affiliate seo, and your a newbie-use keywords......If your more advanced and all you have to do is point and click a couple times to get your site ranking, then brand the fuck out of it.
