The Pros and Cons of Using Subdomains
Some businesses are concerned that if they use subdomains they won’t get the attention they deserve through the search engines, or that the site overall will not present the right look. Let’s check the facts on subdomains.
The definition of a subdomain is a secondary or substitute domain plateau. A regular domain looks as follows: www.domain.com. A sub domain looks like this http://subdomain.domain.com. The difference is that www is not at the front of subdomains.
Efficiently is ranked well by subdomains. Search engine spiders and bots do not discern between the ranking of sectioned off subdomains and regular domains. Provided you have optimized your content with SEO keywords, having a subdomain or regular domain makes no difference.
Let’s pretend that you site has a lot of categories in it. If you were to submit to a search engine, you could submit each subdomain as its own individual category and still get a good ranking.
When referenced by a search engine, a subdomain would show up with its own indicator and directory. One stategy is to create subfolders on subdomains so that search engines such as google will read the folder as a unique site.
Some are concerned that if the main domain is prohibited that their subdomain will be shut down as well. A banned main domain will have an effect on the subdomain. This usually happens when a domain is used for something other than its original intent, like putting adult material on a site when that purpose was not in the agreement.
Again, there is nothing wrong with using a subdomain. If you want to develop each subdomain as its own entity, then by all means, do so. If not, get yourself a main domain name and use that as a certified landing page.
