there's a whole raft of different strategies, really... |
Hi Andrew,
Although subdomains are considered a fresh website, if Google were to ban your domain, yourdomain.com say, wouldn't that affect all subdomains?
That is the reason why third-level domains (TLD) exists. The more famous ones are web.com, us.com, wis.com. If someone is experimenting with black-hat spamming strategies, Google or Yahoo cannot easily delete their domains if they are on a TLD domain, say spammystuff.web.com as this would have a big impact by banning web.com.
To my knowledge, TLD can be purchased at 2 places, web.com and registerfly.com.
