A separate domain for sales pages?

I generally create my salespage within the same website for example:

yoursite.com <-- your main blog

yoursite.com/salespage <--- salespage

I don't believe having the sales page would hurt your ranking, as most times it's an essential element to the site itself. Plus, having the customer redirect could create some concern that they are not buying from you, if they happen to notice the URL change.

However, it is with great difficulty for me to understand, how it is; I have seen WordPress users create what appears multiple pages displaying the entire index of a secondary website, and have yet to figure out how the hell they do it?

For example, I have 75 websites that are HTML based sites. I wanted to create a WordPress site that had a blog, and a page dedicated to selling these 75 websites as they have Master Resell Rights. The part that kills me is "How" can each website be on "demo" within the same site, as each site has it's own independent index.html file?

So, while I meant not confuse your thread, I know you can create multiple sales pages withing the same domain/website, but as far as having different index.html files displayed independently on each page, that is something I would like to figure out, as I bought a domain for each of the MRR sites, and can provide a link to that domain, but like you're asking would prefer to keep it all on one domain.

Not sure if that helps, but the simple answer is "Yes" - you can have independent sales pages within your site, unless your sales page (*say a minisite for example) was purchased from an outside entity and contains it's own index.html file for it.

Hope another Warrior might chime in here and clarify this 'topic' some more though.

I do both ... depends on my mood, I guess. Sometimes I do a blog with a matching, complimentary sales page separately and just as often, I do a sales page within my blog. Both get indexed either way and get traffic and sales.

Hi Philip, I have my money making blog on a subdomain of my main domain. You could try this for your sales page(s). One advantage with this is that you could use a different install of wordpress to create a different template, more suitable to a sales page. Although many internet marketing blogs do not rank well with Google, I found that mine ranked quickly, probably based on the popularity of my main domain.
