Most search engines treat different subdomains as different sites.
Subdomains are meant for topics with a substantial substance.
With 25 pages you have just enough substance to support one site. It's better (and easier) to find other sites linking to you if you have one site with decent info. How are you going to accomplish that if all your sites have only one page?
I have a site with about the same number of pages, 25 or so.......These pages are doing well as they are optimized, etc. The current set-up I have is that the pages ultimately link to sub-domain pages which house huge amounts of content.......more than I could ever create.
I realize that the subdomain will be treated as a separate site if submitted, however, since there are simply so many pages that I can individually submit, it seems that this might be a traffic catcher? (ie: on my site, I can only submit a maximum of 25 pages, I could submit hundreds of pages on the subdomain)
I cannot really optimize the pages on the subdomain as they are what they are and I do not have access to them. Would submitting the sub-domain pages do me any good. Would this cause any harm to the pages that are ranking well currently on my site that are not subdomain pages?
The subdomain pages are a bit goofy and don't have meta tags exactly the way most pages do, although they do have a title (after about 8 lines of jps commands). The urls can be long also. I have copied one page recently and modified it a little, leaving the general page setup the same and placed in on my site rather than the subdomain. It is now ranking decent on Yahoo Webmatches.
The subdomain pages are .jps pages also.
Please provide any comments about submitting these pages, whether it is a waste of time without meta tags, or whether it is a complete waste of time, or maybe submit to just yahoo and google?
