Subdomain or directory?

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this question (mods pls move it if it isn't), but I'd like an opinion (or two) on the following:

If I were to sell products from my site, would it be better to have the sales page as a subdomain (ie sales.mydomain.com) or as a directory off the domain (ie mydomain.com/sales).

I am looking at it from a SEO and professionalism point of view.

Thanks in advance,

it will be beneficial if u will put your product page like www.domainname.com/pagename....

it will be included as a page and i hope it will be indexed rapidly than subdomain.

OK, that makes sense thinking about it.

Thanks

 

I would go with the subdirectory so you can build pr for one url, not totally sure about this one though.

 

I choose subdomain, because you can submit it in web directories than using subfolders.

 

i wld rather suggest for d 2nd one as it will promote ur original website even n also u can hav it as a webpage which wil help u get traffic from ur original site as well n for better results u can give hav it anchor texted from ur homepage even....

but it all depends upon d traffic u get on ur original wesbite n also the number of pages tht u r going to hav under the sales session... bcoz usually d sales session have too many webpages so if luk at these options n decide on ur own...

 

indieee,
