QUOTE(ghostrider @ Jun 28 2007, 02:16 PM)  Domain names are obviously the best that you can have, as long as they aren't to long to remember. I voted for subdomain, but you should only use it if you if thats short, otherwise the address gets to long to remember. You can always use a folder too, and change it later. Unless you run a site the size of yahoo it's best to stick with folders, unless your SEO's subdomains. This post has been edited by jonathon: Jun 28 2007, 02:59 PM |

Isn't a folder better SEO and PR wise?
A subdomain looks much cleaner, but I read that if there are two sites, site.com and sub.site.com, they are classified as two different sites, while site.com and site.com/folder is classified as just one site. But, if you want to really look more professional, then i would go subdomain. |

Well if a subdomain damages my SEO and page rank etcetera then surely by using the subdomain to redirect to a folder then i could use SEO on the folder and the subdomain would make it look nice to the user?
Would this affect my standing in a search engine? |

I think as long as the content is in the folder, it's all good, but I'm no SEO expert lol
Good question though....I would have never though of doing that |

Personally, i like sub.trap17.com more than trap17.com/sub. I think that sub.trap17.com looks more neat, and professional. While trap17.com/sub just looks, well..... , not as good in my opinion. I'm glad that trap17.com uses sub.trap17.com instead of trap17.com/sub. But that is just my opinion.

I'd prefer the subfolder way for categorizing the sections of my website
because it appears to be a part of the site, sudomains will be useful only when we've a portal where different sections of the site can be accessed from different subdomains |
