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
