When you set up the campaign did you select the first radio button that said "Subdomain" because that tracks only one subdomain such as getpromoted.in. If you select the second radio that says "Root Domain" then that will track multiple subdomains within the domain such as blog.getpromoted.in or forum.getpromoted.in. Hope that gives you somewhere to start.
This is definitely the best practice for a forum. This will take away the incentive for people/bots to comment spam in the forum for a followed link. It still might happen, but at least you have taken away the reward.
Most category pages are pretty content shallow. They usually just have basic product info that links to the product pages.

It seems that people like to link directly to the product page so do your best to acquire links to the category level.
use the canonical tag, or do a 301 redirect. Canonical is the best option.
Hey Alaniz,
I would run the subfolder route for two reasons.
1. Branding. You can leverage all of you brand equity under one domain but still let people know that you specialize in marketing for the listed industries. Your case studies and blog will show you know your stuff. People will probably think each site is a separate business. You will want your customers to know you service other industries so they can (hopefully) refer others. So maybe you do a killer job marketing for the legal side and the client has a buddy in medical and they can easily refer the friend to the one website.
2. SEO time and effort. Starting from scratch on six sites in competitive markets will take some serious time and resources to get them to generate traffic. Focusing on one domain will pass the link equity on to the other pages. I would rather manage one site versus six.
