Affiliate Internet Marketing-The Power Of Sub Domains

If you have an Affiliate Internet Marketing Promotion Online, a great way to create quality web sites, which are both extremely cost effective and easy to set up, is to create sub domains We all know what a domain is, but many webmasters are not yet familiar with the power and the many benefits of sub domains. Here you will find some basic information on sub domains, and some of the benefits of utilizing them in your online affiliate marketing promotions.

What a sub domain is:

In order to understand what a sub domain is, first let’s look at a regular domain. Most domains look like the following; www.yoursite.com. Each domain refers to a specific site on the web and the search engines acknowledge each domain as a separate web site. While many domains have several web pages, each extra page is still considered the same site (for instance, www.mysite.com/articles). While this is an easy way to add extra pages to your web site, most web developers who create new niches and start new web pages in order to promote sales from those niches usually purchase new domain names for each new niche, which they may have chosen to create and promote.

Creating sub domains make the whole process of adding new niches to an existing domain simple, affordable, and manageable. A sub domain is considered a sub extension of your already working domain. A sub domain is considered to be a separate domain an entity in itsef from the domain that it extends from. This means that all search engines (including Google) see the sub domain as a unique domain. Domains are created usually using your web hosting administration panel. In order to create a sub domain, the process usually takes a few minutes. For instance, instead of adding web pages that are on completely different topics to you’re website such as www.mysite.com/article, you can choose to create a sub domain, which is written as follows: www.articles.mysite.com. You might have noticed that all I did is add the word “article” and a dot before your domain name.

The Benefits of Sub domains:

Sub domains are not as popular as regular domains, because most webmasters are not aware of how easy they are to create and all the benefits that they can provide. Sub domains can be created on most web hosting accounts, usually taking a couple of minutes or less. There are many benefits of using sub domains; however here are the top three.

-First of all, while domains are affordable (costing about $10/mo. for a .com), if you are a web developer who is planning on creating dozens of web sites, $10 adds up quickly. Many affiliate marketers purchase 50, 100 or even 1,000 domains to create web sites that each bring in a small amount of income. Having 100 domains can easily cost $1,000 per year and once you add in the web hosting costs and annual renewal fees, you can easily see how quickly it can become expensive. Sub domains cost $0. Sub domains are free to create, whether you have 1 or 1,000.

-A second benefit of sub domains is that all search engines view sub domains as being unique from the regular domain. To Google, www.mysite.com/articles and www.articlesl.mysite.com are two unique sites. In essence, you get all the benefits of having many websites, without the costs of registering new domains sites and hosting them separately. In fact, sub domains are easily hosted on the same account as your normal domain ; they just show up as a separate folder, which makes them that much easier to manage and maintain.

-Finally, sub domains are extremely easy to create. You do not need a lot of technical expertise or special software. If you want to create a few sub domains, the process is relatively simple and straightforward by uploading free page templets usually available from your host However, to create many sub domains at one time, the process can be tedious, but there are many free software tools available to easily accomplish this task. For any marketer with numerous Affiliate Internet Marketing Business Promotions Online, utilizing sub domains for each niche marketed can save both time and money.
