Which is better...

    I would like your opinion on which is better in terms of SEO. I will use a fictional example:

    1. Fish.com

    2. Orangegoldfish.com

    I'm torn between the two and don't have enough experience to know which is better.

    With #1 I could have endless indvidual pages discussing various "fish" each targeted for specific keywords.

    With #2 it appears I've limited myself and would need 100's of domains to cover all fish.

    Assuming content is the same, would #2 get a better ranking than #1 with a link: www.fish.com/orangegoldfish.htm ?

    Thoughts??

    I'll prefer Fish.com

    It help me to create an image of big guy in market...who have solution of all problems and demands.

    If a person who need something related....than it is more obious that he will check out the big branded known store rather than finding out a small one. And ONE BIG is more famous than MANY SMALL.

    Also it depends on niche and market.

    definately fish.com, if you so choose then you could setup orangegoldfish.fish.com
    bass.fish.com

    etc.

    subfolder would probably be appropriate in that case though, but you get the point.
