newbi qst: several landing pages: subdomains / directories or separate domains?

[juiceterry]

Started with facebook ads and direct linking.. but now it's time to make landing pages to promote..

as a newbie, you don't want to invest lots of money..

so my question poll:
which strategie is the best one in your opinion?


- separate domains: campaign1-trial.com, campaign2-trial.com, etc.

- domain with subdomains: e.g. campaign1.trial-4-free.com, campaign2.trial-4-free.com (trial4free is NOT my domain!).

- domain with directories: e.g. trial-4-free.com/campaign1, trial-4-free.com/campaign2


As far as i now with directories, new directories will inherit from previous pagerank, etc.. while subdomains are completely separated by google..

thanks for your opinions.

What ever works, subdomains are pretty easy to set up and can have good keywords in them for example if you can't afford to buy a domain with popular keywords in it you can get one less popular but similar words instead eg.
Oh darn! Someone has already bought acaiberry.com!
So you go and buy weightlossdiet.com and slap acaiberry.weightlossdiet.com as a subdomain

Talking of slaps though this can create a problem because if one domain gets slapped or whatever then the rest of your subdomains are fucked.
