Hello everybody, I have a Live football streaming website, which i kept developing and planned to add Latest Highlights and football news in it as well. Now I m kind of interested in developing it a bit more, especially the highlights part. So I was thinking, whether I should countinue adding the highlights and stuff on the same domain or should i make a new subdomain for it like highlights.streamlivesports.com ? What i basically want to know, 1 - Does it make a difference if add highlights on the same domain or on a new subdomain ? 2 - Will I have to start building links and do SEO from scratch from that sub domain or the sub domain will just reflect the backlinks and SEO of the Domain.. ? 3 - Any more information that you guys think I should consider before doing a movement 4 - If you were me ( if you were in this situation instead of me ) What wud have u done.. ? Many of you must be thinking why he wants to make a new subdomain for highlights.. Its probably because I want the highlights page to be more sorted and I might use a video sharing software like php sugar video CMS ( php melody ) on the subdomain - Which will ( I suppose ) make it look more professional and make it easier for me to maintain and stuff..
The subdomain gets counted as an entirely separate domain name, and won't affect the root domain in any way. IMO subdomains are a bad idea. Most big companies use them to separate data/databases/media files, but I personally wouldn't use them for any kind of public site.
