    Subdomains for niches

    Should I use sub domains for niches, eg:

    amateur.mydomain.com
    anal.mydomain.com
    asian.mydomain.com

    What are some pros and cons if any?

    Are you planning on making each a completely separate site or just different niches for the same paysite?

      Different niches for a tgp:

      eg:

      bigtits.mytgp.com - Only big tits with no links to other niches.
      lesbian.mytgp.com - Only lesbian with no links to other niches.

        Oh, well in that case, yeah it's cool. Not too many cons that I know of (depending on how you set it up) and the pros are quite obvious (greater chances of a surfer type ins for different niches, a "one-stop shop" look and feel for the TLD, more precise targeting, etc.).

          i dont know about tgp. maybe a link list or another type of freesite with more content.

          and i would use mod_rewrite instead of creating a webserver entry for each subdomain.

          you could set it up so

          domain.com/directory

          would automatically do directory.domain.com

          just have to add a * entry in your zone file.

          that way you can have

          domain.com/fetish <-- fetish.domain.com
          domain.com/teens <-- teens.domain.com

          makes it easier than filling up your web server config with useless hosts.

                One thing to keep in mind is that there a lot of people that will not trade w/ subdomains

                  Should be good for SE. Different domains is better.

                      If you own Mydomain.com then hell yes
                      Otherwise it doesn't matter i.e. your making a totally different domain than your tld and it's unlikely you can pass pagerank through to your subdomain.

                          I do trade with some subdomain sites but many people will not. Everyone has their own reasons I guess, but first and foremost is that cheaters are typically cheap bastards and the use of subdomains is a cheap way of adding sites.

                            make sure to setup the * entry in your httpd.conf

                            servername www.domain.com
                            serveralias *.domain.com

                            htaccess would be

                            Options +FollowSymLinks
                            RewriteEngine On

                            # mod_dir fix
                            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
                            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*\.)?([^\.]+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
                            RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subs/%2%{REQUEST_URI}/ -d
                            RewriteRule [^/]$ http://%2.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]

                            # strip sub subdomains
                            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*\.([^\.]+\.domain\.com)$ [NC]
                            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

                            # abc.domain.com/def --> /subs/abc/def
                            RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
                            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
                            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^\.]+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
                            RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subs/%1/ -d
                            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subs/%1/$1 [QSA,L]

                            so domain.com/subs would contain all your subdomains

                            so domain.com/subs/fuck --> fuck.domain.com
