One Domain vs. Multiple?

👀 Sponsor this spot to share your content with our community.

When deciding between one domain or multiple, you have to consider SEO impact, audience targeting, and resource allocation.

Considerations for multiple domains:

  • International presence: Different country-specific domains (e.g., .uk, .de) may perform better locally.
  • Distinct audiences: Separate websites can cater to unique customer segments and improve conversion rates.
  • Multiple brands/offerings: If your brands have distinct identities, separate domains may clarify messaging.
  • Historical growth: Some businesses inherit multiple domains over time without reevaluating consolidation.

Considerations for a single domain:

  • SEO strength: Larger websites attract more links, increase Domain Authority, and rank better.
  • Efficiency: Managing one domain is typically cheaper and requires fewer resources.
  • Stronger inbound link profile: Consolidation focuses SEO equity, improving rankings and traffic.
  • Better team management: A single CMS is easier to maintain than multiple fragmented systems.

Still weighing your decision? Head to Moz for more resources.

Droga5 x Perky

Nip Slip

Sorry for the unsolicited butt. But! It’s for a good cause.

Droga5 and Perky just pulled off a genius move to outsmart social media censorship while shining a light on breast cancer survivor support.

Perky, a San Antonio-based clinic specializing in ultra-realistic 3D nipple tattoos for survivors, kept getting flagged on Instagram.

The loophole? Nipples are only censored on women’s chests—anywhere else, they’re fair game. (That’s a fight for another day.)

So, Perky did free nipple tattoos on thighs, abdomens, and butt cheeks, capturing content that social platforms couldn’t take down.

“‘Skin in the Game’ was about more than just visibility. It was about finding new, creative ways to break barriers and support those who need it most,” said Lauren Varvara, executive creative director at Droga5 New York.
