My friend is making a website for me and we a have problem. The homepage or landing page, for design purposes, contains a product search, flash, and next to zero content ( google unfriendly). BUT the subdirectories from this main domain will contain well structured, relevant, unique content (google friendly). To get around this problem of design vs SEO I plan to: 1. Separate all content from existing subdirectory and make it into a subdomain with a google friendly hompage. 2. Interlink the SubDomain (quite alot of links) with the nice looking Main Domain now left with just a product search.and links (note: will contain minimal duplicate content such as product names). Is this a good Idea? Is it more difficult to get a good PR for a Subdomain or a google unfriendly homepage? My Aim is to get webtraffic to a great subdomain and back link to Main Domain with the awesome product search interface... Thanks in advance for any advice!
This should work as long as relevant keyword text links point from all of the subdomains to your main domain. The key is relevancy.

Great!!!!! yes the relavancy is there, the transition between sites is seemingless. The subdomain being content rich and very google friendly, may rank much much better and generate more web traffic, the serious user will then be directed to the awesome main domain for execution of commerce, ie. via. link to maindomain called "back to product search"...isnt it a win, win situation?? Question does google like subdomains, and will it treat it as a totally separate website?
Do you mean keyword relevancy for the subdomain? Yes there is keyword rich/unique content in subdomain. So is it good idea to do this? To get around the problem of a design heavy but SEO unfriendly homepage?
