I'm looking into being more organized and want to have a few different niche campaigns on one domain. Can you guys throw out some suggestions that would work for landing pages in the dating , email submit, and mobile niches? I want something general and something not related to tracking and won't throw off the visitor either..
Also any experience with testing a dating domain vs. the landing page hosted on the tracking domain such as trackx3423.com?
trustworthy-websites.com
This is what I do
com.co, net.co or something similar not taken
allowing for subdomains for specific niches
like bestdatingsite.com-co/us/lp.php
In my brief experience the domain isn't really a problem. I'm getting solid click throughs using a generic domain and not even a niche specific subdomain. For a time I was also tracking and hosting LPs on the same domain. I don't really see anything wrong with that other than it's easier for someone to root round.
Why go for a domain like trackx3423.com? That to me sounds suspicious. Make it cool, fun, brandable and I doubt people would think twice about it. wordoid.com is your friend for thinking up funky variations of words.
I do what tmcalvin does too.
@peanut - Woo, solid data! Nice.
I do what tmcalvin and Mr Green does.
com-"something".com
dude just go with something like autoredir or autodir or redirxy or clickbounce or whatever...
trying to get fancy with your tracking domain names can screw up your conversions (i've tested it )
another fast random tip :
split test the shit out of your landing page domain names .. cant remember if I mentioned this : but you can test the Viralness of a domain
name ..
a domain name will eventually get branded..
I used to own singlegirlfinder.net (host and post to Singlesnet ) & after enough time "SingleGirlFinder " became a searched keyword on google..

(this might get you in hot water)
Best to just use something short and catchy and get on with it...
