.tv Developing Techniques.tv

Looking for some more "techniques"

I am putting together techniques.tv as a the portal to different technique areas. so far I have these:

acting.techniques.tv
building.techniques.tv
concentration.techniques.tv
fixing.techniques.tv
gardening.techniques.tv
jobhunting.techniques.tv
learning.techniques.tv
massage.techniques.tv
military.techniques.tv
painting.techniques.tv
photography.techniques.tv
relaxation.techniques.tv
sales.techniques.tv
selfdefense.techniques.tv
sex.techniques.tv
teaching.techniques.tv
wealth.techniques.tv


What I see is Techniques.tv as a Portal site, and possibly renting the subdomains to whoever wants to pimp there techniques. I am probably not explaining that very well, so if someone can jump in with an idea I would gladly accept it.

If you can think of other "techniques" please post them and I will add them to my portal. I plan on using Joomla, but would be interested if anyone has a different suggestion.

You know subdomains tend to be an SEO killer

Unless your backlink strategy takes people to the subdomains and not the primary domain name. Just an FYI.

I would assume then that you would set it up more like this:

Techniques.tv/acting

 

[localexperts]

You can set it up with subdomains, but most people make the mistake of using subdomains and then send all the external backlinks to the home page, not the subdomains.

that is the problem. You can use subdomains, but you need to get links directly to the subdomains and not the home page.

Google treats the subdomains as distinct from the primary domain.

Remember I mentioned that the "home page trap". This is related to that concept. When we use subdomains, we drive traffic to those pages and the home page is basically irrelevant since the subdomains have high SEO ranking and the home page does not.

Thanks.....in this case, the idea is still young......

I was somewhat thinking of a set up much like the me.tv concept. The subdomains would be able to setup however they want, but each one would have a banner or link back to the techniques.tv telling people they can set up their own techniques site.

Or something like that.
