Addon domains in rel. to (regular)domains

7 replies
Hi!

I have a question regarding the use of addon domain in relation to several regular domains.
Will google do something special when you use several different addomains instead of separate domains for these sites.
As far as I understand you see that it is addon domain if you (google) investigate. (?)

I see a really good advantage for me as a user to use addon domains while I don't need to order a new hosting for every new site I will do, but are there backsides of that strategy?

    Do you mean addon domain which in your web hosting like cPanel? That's not a problem. Every one does that. That is normal.

      That is correct. I have a Hostgator account and a couple of addon domain inside. Is there a limit for how many you can have before google starts to protest? I read somewhere about that due to the same IP, there could be problems. But I'm not sure about this and therefore my question.

    An old trick to some but only recently discovered by me is an addon domain redirected to an Affiliate url- best way of cloaking affiliate links I've ever seen.

    The only potential problem is linking these sites to each other, since they are add-on's of each other they are essentially subdomains. Definitely avoid creating a "link wheel" of all these sites on the same domain linking to each other, it is my understanding that this can raise a flag in google.

    But just having a bunch of unique sites as add-ons, no problem.

    The simplest answer is usually the correct one.

      I'm finding Google even loves my sub-domains (and I have many :-)
      So Add-on domains should definitely be no problem.

      Whatch them like a Hawk though - Pete.
