Post subject: subdomain question
|
 |
|
Hi,
Please let me know if I understand subdomains in cpanel correctly or not.
OK I have mydomain in a root folder under the public_html folder. When I create subdomain.www.mydomain.com then a subdomain folder is created alongside the mydomain folder in the root of public_html is that correct? If so, what are the advantages of this? I don't see why it would be beneficial to have say a bunch of subdomain and mydomain folders side by side, especially if you have more than one mydomain folders with their own corresponding subdomains. I don't understand the uncluttered and organized logic there. Is there a way to create subdomains in a more organized arrangement, more like subfolders or not?
And if I create a subfolder for "www.mydomain.com" then it will be a folder in the root of mydomain folder, correct?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of subdomains vs subfolders?
Thank you |

Think of subdomains as an organizational tool. If your business plan calls for a large site with topics that need to be divided up yet share the same domain then subdomains could be a good idea. There was a time when marketers would use them to add a keyword rich phrase or word to the main URL... this practice doesn't really make a difference anymore in Google or Yahoo... perhaps not even MSN since they recently updated.
If you have no need for subdomains then don't use them.

The above example is used to great effect with about.com, I plan to put the same methods into effect with a large educational website I am developing in the near future.

Post subject: Subdomain needs to be submitted in search engines?
|
|

I have a domain name http://www.thenewsnation.com/
Now If we make a subdomain then do we need to submit that subdomain url separately in goole and all search engines again? or our original url which is already submitted in search engines will do the job for our subdomain? |

The last thing I heard about Google was that they didn't differential between your subdomains. Any links to your subdomains look like links to your main domain. This can be good for number of total links, but can be bad as far as Google's desire for your site to have a content theme. Lots of unrelated subdomains dilute your website's theme.
