WANTED! Someone to show me recent discussions

on the age old question of subdomains vs. directories

[Webdoc]

Hi,

Okay, after spending the last 2 hours using site search to no avail, I will submit myself to asking for help--should've done so an hour ago ;)

Anyway, please tell me your view in regards to SEO on subdomains vs. directories or post any flagged threads that you may have or were able to find using site search.

For example, which is better:

[blue-widgets.example.com...] OR
[example.com...] OR
[example.com...]

You'd be a life saver...really!

All the best,

Webdoc

hi the domain name should be :

[blue-widgets.example.com...]

youshould always take domin name with your targetted keyword.

and dont make so much of directory in your site. and that becomes complicated for Crawler to take your all pages.

IMO, the url as a whole is what matters not the subdomain, domain or directory individually. Although that is from my experience not any statistical study...
