Domain vs sub domain battles on
Ok this is probably the 1 millionth blog post about what is better a single domain or many sub domains to break stuff into.
This question will continue to be asked as google throw spanners and hammers at it’s algorithm to confused and mislead us seo’s who are always trying to keep up with google.
Well I am half way through creating a little tool kit mostly for personal use but also to get the masses using it as well.
Anyway Julie of Julie seo asked me why use sub domains over domains with sub folders?
Simples….. I prefer sub domains.
It is a personal choice that I believe works better for me and better for separation. Sometimes even though you collect stuff together you need it to be seperate. Thus this is why his blog has been created.
What is right and what is wrong?
To be honest in SEO nothing is wrong just mis judged. Bit like landing a plan. Whether you hit the run way or go through the trees you are still technically landed.
So if it was me I would do the following…..
Stuff that is similar keep together in one domain. Best example is that BBC have just started to do that it there news site.
One big place where it all relates.
Makes sense if you think about it.
Stuff that is not so similar keep separate. Again an exempt would be wordpress.com the free blogging section of wordpress. Blogs of all different topics.
So did that answer the question at the start?
