Can you use subdomains for clickbank sales page & Niche Websites?

8 replies
Can I use a sub domain of my website to promote my own click bank product? It seems like a very smart thing to do and yet not many people seem to do it. I have not used clickbank to sell my own product so I am not sure if there is some click bank policy that is against using sub domains as url for sales page. So if I use a subdomain to put my sales page, will it create any problems for me?

Instead of spending money buying several domains for small niches, I thought why not buy a single domain and build small niche websites around it in its subdomain.

For example say I have a romance site called www.romance.com and i build smaller niche websites like say romance for the obese in the subdomain like love-for-the-obese.romance.com, will I not get the same benefits that I will get if I got my own domain for the smaller niche - romance of the obese? The idea seems brilliant because the link juice from the subdomain will flow to the main domain and I think the benefits the main domain will get from this arrangement will be obvious to warriors out here. If I had a sales page promoting my own click bank product in a subdomain, the benefits for my main domain will be stellar as the link juice will flow from the subdomain to the main domain. From my current understanding of the system works, this seems like a brilliant idea. Yet nobody seems to do it. I cant be the first person who thought of this, so I am getting the feeling I am making a newbie's mistake.

Thanks for the help

    Something like love-for-the-obese.romance.com looks spammy & scammy. Given the cost of domain names now this seems like a lot of work to save $5.

      I think love-for-the-obese.romance.com would be pretty popular lol

      Seriously though, you're absolutely right. What's $5 in the end, especially if saving it isn't worth the time and effort spent.

        I actually have seen a few vendors do this. It's another tick on my list to be wary along the lines of marketing distraction or even siphoned traffic, and either to be avoided or consider using direct linking to the order page.

    lol love-for-the-obese.romance.com was an example I dont think using subdomains makes things look spammy and scammy. The objective of using the subdomain was not to save on 5$ btw

    Yes, quite possibly.

    It may be off-putting for some affiliates.

    I'm not aware of ClickBank themselves having any regulations about it, but you might want to check carefully with them, too, and get it in writing, because recently they've been announcing one or two "policies" only when people apply to list new products, by all accounts, rather than in their client contract or on their website.

      I think this would be the reason as well as to why you don't see a lot of people doing it.

      You should focus on one product at a time, register domains for a year, and if the product has not made enough of a return in the course of a year to pay for it to have it's own domain name, then it really shouldn't be there IMO.

    SEO-wise, yes, you can use subdomains and google will recognize them as entirely new websites.

    However, You'll lose quite a bunch of sales as the page will lack authority and people will not believe your reviews. Better scrape out the $10 and get a full domain name.
