title: Should individual products of a company have separate domains?
body: <p>Let me explain the question with an example.</p>
  
  <p>I have a company "abc" with url www.abc.com Now,the company has products: prod1, prod2 and prod3. Currently, I have maintained the websites for these products as:</p>
  
  <p>www.abc.com/prod1/index.html,</p>
  
  <p>www.abc.com/prod2/index.html and </p>
  
  <p>www.abc.com/prod3/index.html respectively.</p>
  
  <p>I have also purchased prod1.com, prod2.com and prod3.com which redirect to the urls mentioned above.</p>
  
  <p>Should I maintain the websites of the products as www.prod1.com/index.html for prod1 and so on in order to help SEO?</p>
  
  <p>Are there any benefits of maintaining separate domains for products of a company?</p>
  
  <p>Please suggest which is the better approach.</p>
