New Domain, for each lander? (10)

---

Me again lol

With regards to using a cdn, do i have this correct

For instance you have a few different offers in the same vertical, but rather than buying a new domain per lander
you would create folders for each lander and include the index, css files?

and if so what part of defines what the name of new domain will be?

If you named each folder landing-1, landing-2 etc

would the final result look something like this

www .xxxx.com/landing-1
www .xxxx.com/landing-2 and so forth

Cheers

Hey @mithras!

Good questions and good that you mentioned verticals (let me get to this later below).

Usually you place your landers simply in folders (including css, js, images) and then the path is same you mentioned above.

One tip here is to not number your folders for lander variations as /01, /02, /03 etc., but rather come up with your very own naming system, so nobody can guess your naming logic.

Regarding the verticals:

I would personally have separate domain for each vertical.

This makes sense especially if you plan to tap into antivirus vertical as your domains can get flagged over time.

If you have all your campaigns (even not AV related) on the same domain, you will have to move everything under new domain and the immediate losses will be bigger.

Have instead separate domain for each vertical.

Thanks @erikgyepes

I would love to get started on a campaign, but there's a lot basics, that i'm still finding hard to interpret lol.

---

You can also look into setting up CNAMES , that's what I use.

---

I'm using directories or subdomains, check out another article from Erik where he explains the use of wildcards : http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...-of-subdomains

---

Start slowly, there is no rush.

Build strong foundations first and then build your campaigns on top of them.

Most of the questions are answered here and if not, you still can ask a new one

Thanks @erikgyepes and @matuloo for linking that thread.

just wondering with the subdomains that have been mentioned.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I thought I had seen @matuloo reply to another member the other regarding amazon's cdn service and how amazon will create a URL for your landers automatically?

If so, would using that wild card cname be useful for cdn' or is that something more linked to a vps service??

Cheers guys

Hey @mithras,

yes both Amazon and Rackspace auto generates you a subdomain. It's mostly some kind of long hash, which is not very readable, and impossible to remember.

I'm not sure how Amazon deals with CDN CNAMEs, but with Rackspace Cloud Files that method works seamlessly. With Rackspace CDN though it doesn't work (Rackspace Cloudfiles and CDN are separates services, though both of them offer CDN capabilities, they just made it a bit confusing for everyone)

---

Adding to all this, I read on the forum that it's not necessary to fight too much for domain name. So if you choose a general domain name it should be enough

---

Yup, unless the domain really doesn't make sense - like using ADULT domains for selling utility app installs... General names are usually a good idea, plus use a subdomain (or directory) to give it some niche feel.
