Hi ,

If I want to target key phrase - breaking news + country name (ex. breaking news India)
What is the best way to create sub domain in SEO point of view

    Yes,it would be better to have the country your targeting first in your domain rather than at the end of it for seo purposes.

    - The first one doesn't make any sense at all: do Indians look for "in" when looking for their country on the Internet ?
    - The second option is clean and concise, matching the search text
    - The third would be ok if you removed the "in." prefix . Same reason as in the first one. I'd also remove the "/index.html" - It adds no info for the user and doesn't match any search term. It's just noise generated by the web technology that you are using. Trim it.

    Are you creating a masked subdomain, if so from an SEO point of view I am sure this will not matter, get ranked other than search engines, by choosing letter that begins with A or a number like number one. Then you can index better, higher up in these portals.
