I'm may be helping someone develop a business idea. The business sells paid listings targeted at local communities. The owner is planning to have 400 communities involved. The service is the same for each community. It's not specially tailored in any way.
I'm wondering what the best way to go about this would be.
- single domain with sub folders for each community
- single domain with sub domains for each community
- separate domain for each community
I think the guy may have actually already registered 400 domains. Based on my experience, I think it'd be a lot easier to manage the whole site on one domain, and would probably be better for backlink building/seo. I think it may be difficult to tell someone that the $xxxx they just spent registering domain names was a bad idea, so I figured I'd ask to see what the pros/cons are.
