What Do You Prefer? A Subdomain Or A Url With A Folder Name?

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.

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
