    Hi,
    I am going to put up a phpboard and I am facing an issue that I would appreciate any input on how to deal with it in the best way possible.

    First of I want to target 2 language users.. french and english. But I do not want to "mix" them both inside the same board. I really want to different board. So I have the top domain name i.e : myboard.com and will create 2 subdomain i.e : fr.myboard.com and en.myboard.com .

    Now, my concern is on the main domain keyword.. will those 2 subdomains suffer in being optimised in SE because they will in a way loosing the myboard.com domain name wich might be a good domain keyword whereas fr.myboard.com is kinda of not a keyword..

    Anyhow.. :) not sure if I am clear..
    Would appreciate some inputs on how would be the best way to manage this.
    Thanks
