Right now I am promoting quite a few different skin care products. I was considering starting a skin care blog. My question is, should I place the blog behind my main website? My domain is theproductnameREVIEW.com Therefor a general skincare blog would look funny placed behind that. Also, at the end of my article should I link to my review of that specific product or should I link to the actual product offer?

    I would go for a new domain name (.com) that has your best keyword in it.When I write a review about a product, I link directly to the sales page of the product.Make it as easy as possible for the prospect.

      Thank you. I figured this would be the best way to go.

      Should I just let my productnameREVIEW.com domains expire or are they worth having? Product names get anywhere from 1k - 14k searches on google. 14k is my best product. So far no sales from any of them but I don't rank for them either.

        If I were you I would absolutely not let your review site domains expire. I would use several blogs to link to them and help them to rank higher. I would also bookmark the heck out of your review sites and your blogs at the social bookmarking sites and I would submit the blog RSS feeds at the feed directory sites.

        Then I would build additional backlinks to the review sites from all kinds of other high ranking sites. See Angela's and Paul's backlink lists for ideas.

        In a nutshell, established review sites are valuable. Do everything you can to make them rank for the products you're reviewing.

    Hey there, I have a review website for skin care also and I decided to start a blog. I purchased a totally separate .com. Since my original site is pretty high up in Google for the keyword terms I have left it there and I have made sales from it.

    If you do not plan to promote your sites and they are not high in the searches there is no sense keeping the names because no one will find them in the highly competitive skin care niche. It also depends on the names.

    The other thing is women are becoming more skeptical of product review websites because there are so many out there. If you have a ProductNameReview.com and the name of the product is in the .com then it is obviously biased and the smart consumer who is likely to have the bucks to buy the product knows this.
