    Hi my friends.I have a free directory and now i will upgrade it.First of all i might built a blog.But is it matter acotm.com (root) or acotm.com/blog for seo? I think it is a plus to built a blog root directory but i have some problems with index.php(I will have 2 one) So what can i do about the path?

    Second issue, what can be the blog about.Only seo, directories or it can be about on nature else.Does this matter? Who have some experiment with directory blogs.

    I am looking forward to seeing your nice replies, thanks a lot.

    I think Sub domains are better for SEO also ;)

    Thank for feedback my friends.So all you think i must use a subdomain.I think something for use wordpress on root but it is mixed and i can make mistakes on updates.So subdomain is oKé.I cant understand "you can always use 301 permanent redirect. that's seo as well" What do you mean with this, because blog and directory will be in same domain.

    On the other hand, please give me some subdomain idea. webmaster.aCotm.com can be better, or i have to use blog.aCotm (general use) Maybe i can use a different subdomain like directory.aCotm and give info about directories.Maybe it is good for se position on "directory" keyword.I really work on this project, look up examples but else want to hear your ideas.

    And the blog categories.I do not want to make a seo farm on it.Like phpld templates wordpress templates etc.I do not like this kind of spam but i think unfortunatelly this is a must.Other sites use this formule.

    Please give me some ideas about the blog categories and blog subdomain name.Thanks a lot my friends, for your time and effort to read this post.

    Any specific advantage of using a sub-domain over sub-folder ??

    domain.com/blog vs blog.domain.com

    The 2nd one looks cool but what advantage it brings in terms of SEO ?

    i was known a google algoritm.First search in domain, then subdomain and then sub-folder.Maybe it is about it.If i write a directory.acotm.com it is usefull for directory keyword i think.This is not only issue but this is very important.Any other ideas, maybe i am wrong... Also please give me some subdomain examples.I think i will use directory or seo
