    www.top100arena.com

    select one of the game categories and you will notice it goes to a subdomain for each.

    Thanks, I did manage to get a few PR5 on some of the subdomains so it isn't impossible to SEO on subdomains, but was just wondering if I could be doing better if they were subdirectories since all my other competitors use subdirectories.

    @ahmnasa, you are on the right track. Keep working on your websites. I used "websites" cz every subdomain is considered as a different website.

    Yes they are the same but what we are talking about is how search engines see them as.

    Some search engines will see/treat sub domains as seperate websites and subdirectories as part of the same site, we were just discussing which would be best for SEO.

    I can confirm that Google sees them as exactly the same. According to the Google webmaster tools that I'm using, the subdomains are part of my site. They are not seen as seperate sites.

    Sorry, I do not understand what you mean 'on your sitemaps'. You have made your sitemap, not Google. Am I right?
    Therefore, if a subdomain is not on your sitemap, it's because you didn't put it in. This has nothing to do with Google.
    I have made a very simple sitemap, just for Google, with only the principle url. Google found the links to the other subdomains on its own.
