Using subdomains to dominate search listings

Here’s a neat idea, inspired from eBay’s success in search rankings.

First, try searching for books amazon. Then you will see that it only got the first spot.

Try searching for books ebay. Then you will see that eBay took almost all the first page results!

In SEO, being listed on all top 10 ranks is way better than getting listed on the top spot.

They say that building subdomains is not advisable since its being treated as a different site (with no backlinks etc), but as what you can see with eBay’s success, subdomains can be used to dominate search listings.

Why don’t you try it out for yourself? Build those targeted subdomains and start promoting them right away!

Note: This may not work on your site as this has been abused already.
