Is this going to work just to start?

I know the ideal buzz is 1 Blog on 1 .com domain.
Is it possible to start adding several subdomains per each .com domain (no$$$)?

Are those sites going to work or is it going to be a total waste of time and money no matter how good optimized the blogs are?
Than you

    Domain names and hosting are very inexpensive. I would get hosting from somewhere like HostGator that allows unlimited sites for something like $9.95 a month and register a domain name for each blog I wanted to create and promote a CB offer for.

    The main reason I would do this is to keep visitors focused. You don't want them checking out your site, looking in the address bar and seeing some unrelated domain name and then going and checking it out. You want them to stay focused on the product you are promoting. Don't give them reason to explore.

    A .com domain name with your keyword phrase will help you rank. You can get a domain name for less than $8.

    Search for Godaddy Coupon Codes and you should find $2.50 off .com domains.

      You could use subdomains to save a few dollars, however the few dollars you save will cost you more in the long run...

      Keep your .com's focused on a given topic and make sure your keyword(s) is in the domain name.

      If your site topics are vaguely related you can still interlink all the sites to keep traffic moving.

        Agreed as a lot of times you will see domains that look like www.subdomain.domain.com

        It's a bit confusing when people are surfing as they will only remember www.domain.com and then if they come back it will be different...

        I agree with what up above says as domains are only paid for once a year and will bring in better traffic for sure.

        Also on other thing is if you watch the Godaddy Videos (usually on the front page)...and let it go all the way...it will give you an offer to register domains for $7.49 which saves ya $2.50 per domain...

    I'm going to take a different side and say it depends on how you will be marketing your website.

    For Adwords/Direct Traffic Methods (social network sites/craigslist/etc): Yes you can use subdomains, it will not effect conversions that much but of course it would be silly for me to suggest never buying .com's once you have the capital.

    For SEO: You want to have different .com domains just to be able to target keywords effectively. Unless you have one domain name targeting a general keyword then subdomains or pages targeting LSI/Long tail versions of the "general keyword"
