sub domains

Okay Renee,

You are right. Maybe I came across the wrong way in your mind, but make no mistake…I do not market my wares in ANY respect…Ever. If you are in this landscape you should ask anyone that knows me. That isn’t the way I roll.

Maybe we got off on the wrong foot. You are an affiliate Manager and I think we can all agree why you are here.

I, on the other hand am here to thwart the big boys and the ever present heavy hand that they place on your constituents. Yes I charge big bucks…to think I’m here to develop new business is a bit daft on your end. Look back through any post I have made.

I am here to help out.

That’s it Renee.

I’m not taking ANY new clients in this market.

Please let’s agree to disagree or meet and peel each others eyes out (I’ll introduce you to my West Yorkshire Bird (that’s UK for girlfriend) and we’ll have a pint.

Don’t think for a NY minute I’m here for anything else.

I mentioned I am a moderator om SEO Chat. Have a look and ask any of the 50k members about me. That’s not how I roll.

Gary

Edit: Sorry Renee, I just read that and it really sounded like I was an asshole. I probably am love (that’s UK!). I’m only here to help…please don’t thinkits any more than that. It really isn’t.)

Great sell.

I’m not here to recruit and apparently you are here to make a point.

Get on with it then.

At the end of the day I’m not here for monitary reasons, I’m here to answer inquiries.

Good luck with that though.

Insult after insult.. and ive not yet thrown one your way.

If you’re not here for monetary reasons, then why were you so adament about charging me 5k for your services?

OK i’m done with this.. good luck Dom. I hope you find the answer to your question about subdomains.

Congratulations Renee. You’ve done good.

Spend some time giving away 100’s of billable hours of free advice like I have, and do, and you’ll see where I’m coming from.

I’m sure your interests are solely for others interests as mine are, so how about you donate something other than criticism?

Can I get better CSR. quicker payouts or someone to actually answer a phone?

I think you are a bit out of your league, but kudos for the effort.

I give everything I know away and it helps the recipients without any kickback to me to speak of. I think you are a bit out of element and in a different race than me.

Come on mate, my first post was supposed to be tongue in cheek, and you respond with a whole bunch of offending statements like “There’s this thing called a search engine. Use it.”

I dont recall posting anything offensive in my original post.. it even had a smiley face to convey that I was trying to be cheeky…

You’re probably right though.. Ive been an affiliate manager for almost 4 years and wtf would I know about whats best for the affiliates..

6 members here are my clients and I give advice away to anyone that asks.

You’re barking up the wrong tree.

If it was the other way around, and a question about a program was posted, and I said “I’ve PMd you the answer” wouldn’t everyone want to know in case they come across the same thing?

Don’t get me wrong, I agree that Gary probably has given out some expensive information out for free, but I think if you’re going to publicly offer one affiliate to meet privately so they can get all this info for free, you have to be prepared that other people are not going to be happy with you.

I didnt ask to post some tips for everyone to get something for free, I just figured what is good for one is good for all.

Reading through his original post I’m still a bit confused what to do. My site hgh-rollercasinos.com is split into 8 languages using subfolders. It would appear from his article that subfolders is actually the best option for me and all I need to do is get links from sites in the same language and also geotarget with Google but I’ve heard form other people, liek for example an colleague who he recommended me too :hattip:, that I should be using subdomains.

BTW How the heck do yo host a subdomain in a different country form your main domain, I thought the whole point with subdomains was that they were essentially a part of the main domain and hosted in the same place.

Essentially how to structure your site for both user and Search Engine benefit.

I don’t directly agree nor disagree with Gary’s advice but I will say if you decide to split your site into country targetted areas it can be easier to manage once it is in a subdomain structure.

Heimdall’s question of:

Without getting ultra technical, each subdomain can have a seperate A name record set within the DNS – When this is done you then have the ability to host it in different places, maybe assigning a host in the location you are targetting for that subdomain.

EG:

• http://www.examplesite.dom = hosted as normal
• fr.examplesite.dom = hosted in France
• de.examplesite.dom = hosted in Germany
• es.examplesite.dom = hosted in Spain

etc etc.

If anyone wants to, then feel free to come and buy a cup of tea in Amsterdam and I am sure we can have a chat while drinking it!

It’s a shame I can’t make it to Amsterdam this year, would have been good to have a chat and pick your brains on this and also Gary’s.
