Hi all, looking for some advice, I am setting up a new squeeze page for my internet marketing tips which will be free to use .
My question is should I have the dmain for the sq page like mydomain.com or mydomain.com/sqpage,
I intend to start a forum in which I will be giving out tips on IM, should I use this mydomain.com to accomplish this and to take in email addresses and have the blog on a differant domain, many thanks.I have a ton of ebooks and advice that I would like to give away instaed of people paying for them, any advice would be great

    Yes, you should have a separate domain name that represents the content you are giving away. If you go for the "yourdomain.com/squeeze" a lot of people will simply delete the /squeeze part and land on your main site where they'll get distracted and not opt-in. Of course this is not the biggest concern, but a separate domain also looks more professional.

    I think it all depends how you want to manage them in the future.. to me.. either way is fine.. my 2 cents.. maybe a pop up opt in form at your forum main site?

    This all depends on your marketing funnel. If your prospects go to www.yourdomain.com/squeeze then what will see if they go to the main domain name?

    Some marketers have everything on one domain while others have them on separate domains or a combination. It all depends on how you're going to obtain traffic and where you're going to send them.

    Lastly, your spelling is atrocious, hopefully you're spell-checking your content that you'll be giving away for free.

    I really hope you either own the copyrights to all these ebooks and advice, or that you have the proper license on file and available when the inevitable DMCA notices start coming in.

    Agree with Rod - your spelling is atrocious.

    It' would be great idea if you share your good resource with us. But first of all you need a separate domain for this. Best of luck dude.

      There is no right or wrong answer to this question. I have always used...

      domain/page.html

      for my squeeze pages. It works for me. It may not work for you. Depends on
      your niche, your business model, your funnel, whole lotta stuff.

      Personally, I like to keep everything uniform. If I'm sending people to a free
      report for XYZ product on XYZ domain, I want the squeeze page to be on the
      same domain so people get a sense that they're in the right place.

      I'd love to give you a better answer than this but the truth is, you're not going
      to get an optimal answer here. You'll get a lot of opinions that may or may not
      work for you.

      Ultimately, only YOU can decide what to do and in doing so will determine if
      it worked or didn't work for your particular niche.

      If it was an exact science, we'd all be millionaires.

        Agree with Steven on this. For branding (letting the customer know he/she is in the right place) - have the squeeze page on the same domain as the blog. Just looks more uniform.

        But as the "big man" - there is no right or wrong answer here

    I would go for the squeeze page under the domain... so I'd not put the squeeze page right on the root as main page...

    PM me, I'm also into these things!

    Good luck!

    mydomain.com/sqpage is for the squeeze page, and you can take mydomain.com as the forum site, and take mydomain.com/blog as your own blog site.
