    Hi

    I read this article of SEW and they've specified some reasons to use Subfolders, Here is the good Article with some sources.

    searchenginejournal.com/subdomains-or-subfolders-which-are-better-for-seo/6849/

    and you can also read Matt Cutts points about subdomains-and-subdirectories at

    www.mattcutts.com/blog/subdomains-and-subdirectories/

    “My personal preference on subdomains vs. subdirectories is that I usually prefer the convenience of subdirectories for most of my content. A subdomain can be useful to separate out content that is completely different. Google uses subdomains for distinct products such news.google.com or maps.google.com, for example. … "

    this article may help you to consider some steps in your Job.

    Thanks
    John

    Yes they use subdomains for many things. But it is a lot of work to create 1000 subdomains :)
    So subdirectories is better then pages we can agree on that i guess?

    Please try to say why you think this not only that you do it, your posts look like spam or something.

    Your the one who asked "What is the best SEO?" instead of "What is the best SEO and why?"

    OK, I'm founding that most of you prefer domain.com/subfolder .
    In my case I'm going to translate on of my sites to another language - what will fit better in my case

    domain.com/lang/ or lang.domain.com ?

    mydomain.com/user/

    Under any circumstances don't use user.mydomain.com, because will be seen by search engines like separate domains and you'll have to promote n individual sites.
