One is a commercial classifieds ads
One is a real estate script
One is a link directory (yellow pages or whatever)
Here are the 3 options I have in mind, in term of indexing/exposure/marketing, not knowing which path should I take!
Option 1
One site, one index page (with contents, reciprocal links, anything by the book) and 3 sub directories which each one with the specific script like:
mysite.com/ads/
mysite.com/yellowpages
mysite.com/realestate
Option 2
One domain for each script, each script in his own sub-directory and a straight index page (with all the tips I will grab in this forum).
One super domain (should I name it this way) that will act as a window for the 3 others domain names (with each one having his own script), a little bit like a presentation card! A index page by the book (i.e. tips from this forum)
Option 3
Option one but with x domain names pointing to the main one, whatever alias/redirect!
I have read many posts here, and it seems there are 2 different opinions>
One says go for the mini-site, they are easier to handle and if you ever want to sell one it's easier.
Another says he tried the mini-site approach and with time, as they were growing, he had less and less time to dedicate to each of these mini-sites, having his ranking going down the drain..
Or..dont put your all your eggs in the same basket!
Last... Well! Better one strong site than 3 weaks ones!
I am lost here! Any advices?
Thanks to all!

I had this problem too, I think if you have an exisiting domain with good pr and the extra content and scripts are sufficently unique from the main site, then subdirectories or subdomains is the way to go.
If you don't have a domain with PR then I would be tempted to launch 3 sites as long as the content is different. This might also be adviseable if you have good domain names too.
