Subdomain Niche Sites

vizicore · 03-23-2011, 07:24 AM

Now I know this may be obvious, but I really have no idea. Does a domain niche site rank higher than a sub-domain niche site? I guess its common sense that it would because its establishing itself individually, but I just started writing a niche site and I would like to know if I'm making a huge mistake by attaching to to one of the domains I already own. Will Google Rank me lower?

Thanks a ton..

It really all depends on your objectives and reasons for doing what you are doing. I actually wrote an article about subdomains vs subdirectories. You might find it useful - Subdomains vs Subdirectories - What is best for SEO | SEOmistry

It depends on the quality of your content. However, I found it is much easier for me to rank with a new domain rather than a subdomain as I can use keyword for the new domain. One domain I recently created with my keyword get good traffic without doing much promotion.

If you do the same type of good things, the subdomain is just as good.
Heck, www. is a subdomain when you get right down to it.

Just do a search for internet marketing forum. I'll bet you get something
like forums.digitalpoint.com to show up.

Do a search for college basketball. I'll bet you get espn.go.com as a
top site. Or sportsillustrated.cnn.com.

Easy is as easy does.
