amber438 · 2006-06-30, 04:27 PM

Yeah, yeah, yeah..I've been scarce for a long time..
No excuse, I know..
So, as I take a walk on the dark side and enter the world of blogs, is a sub-domain better than just a folder on the domain?
Walrus, ya got some good info there..I absolutely shudder at all the technical expertise necessary..

I can only speak from the single experience I had but my blog did do better once I made it a "sub-domain" but there are probably a million factors that I'm not aware of as to why that was.

Oh...and thank you

A subdomain would be much better for a variety of reasons. What it comes doen to is that it makes your blog appear like its own website rather than a page on another website. That has multiple benefits.

How you make it happen depends on your hosting setup. Do you have a control panel you can use?

Does Google (and other SEs) see subdomains as the same site or a totally seperate one?
With the low price of domain names, why not just get a completely seperate domain? If it is being used as an extension of a main site, tagging the word 'blog' or 'diary' on the end would work, rather than using a subdomain. i.e. in Amber's case redhotblog.com or red-hot-blog.com would appear to be an extension of her sites.

*Just a thought about my experience using subdomains.

I'm sure they have some specific way they see them that we cannot hope to fathom.

But in my experience, they see a subdomain as being far more like its own site than something in a subdirectory. A subdirectory just looks like a page that is 1-deep, it seems.

That seems like a good idea to me. I hadn't thought of that.
