About Subdomains

thecat · 2005-02-21, 12:02 PM

I've been using alternately sub domains and directories for my sites. The ones on subdomains are not accepted by some LL owners like hoes, jay and others and furthermore you can be blacklisted. However these sites receive important SE traffic and the ones in directories don't.
So I'm confused, whether it's better to waste Se traffic or some good LL traffic.
Is there an intermediate solution like mirror the site?
What do you think guys?
Advices welcome

cat, subdomains are most often used by free hosts and other situations where the "weebmaster" isn't in control of the domain or the site. Link sites don't have the time to try to figure out which is good, which is bad, and so on. In my case, I just decline them all and don't worry about it too much.

Remember that most link sites get more submissions than they truly need. When I see a site type that 90% of the time isn't getting listed, I can save myself a bunch of time by auto declining 100% of them. It isn't very much fun for the 10% good ones that get squeezed out, but that's life.

Domains are cheap, hosting is cheap... when in doubt, buy another domain.

There seems to be some SE advantages in using sub-domains. You could always have the best of both worlds and use URL forwarding from a new domain to get your domain listed, or will that cause a site to be blacklisted?
