    HELLO

    Do you think its a bad idea to setup directories on subdomais..

    For example my domain is www.mydoamin.com
    and I add few directories
    like
    dir1.mydomain.com
    dir2.mydomain.com
    and so on



    What your opinions on it ?

    cnames can be used but it is a matter of choice and of course one has to think to how one markets and promotes multiple cnames from the same domain

    Would not be our choice, but each to their own of course G & Y do, but they have kudos it makes a difference

    Domains are cheap spend 1.99 for .info at godaddy...

    regular domains are like 7 bucks yearly...

    my first domain was www.biz-giant.com and then i did the directory as www.directory.biz-giant.com
    its my first and last time doing that just because its to long of a domain....
    these 2 are being redone so please ignore the mess...:eek:

    thx

    advantages and disadvantages actually.

    Some people think links should be from diff IPs for a better benefit though it's not really so. So, if you set up other dirs on different sub-domains, you may have a hard time promoting it. (but if you get high PR, people will buy anyway in many cases ;)

    One big advantage could be that SEs could recognize your site to be bigger. If your domain is also directory, having more directories in sub-domains, you can use them to increase more content, making SEs think, especially Yahoo SE, you have a site wide directory. ;)
