What are some opinions about subdomains verses a bunch of top level domains?

It really depends on what you want to do and accomplish. I have a general blog on my top domain and several niche specific blogs in sub-domains and several free hosted blogs.

Some will tell you that sub-domains are better and other will tell you folders. I really haven't seen any difference in the two, the key thing is proper optimization, link planning and traffic filtering.

I use the general blog as to filter to my niche blogs on sub-domains. As for the free hosted blogs. It really depends on the blogs and what I want to target. Some are for feeding my general and other are to fee my niche blogs. Also, my niche blogs are spread out through 3 domains for right now.

I am a big believer in keyword rich domains for organic traffic. I would rank the way of structuring as follows...

TLD
subdomain
folder

There is one big caveat to this ordering. When I was in the business in the late 90's and early this decade, most webmasters used warning pages.

If you are doing a warning page, I would do a folder for the primary blog. This structure actually has some linking and SEO advantages. I am developing a few text tgps right now and they will all have warning page pointing to a root folder. You can acquire better long term SERP and Page Ranking this way, but it takes a much longer time.

Remove the patience factor, however, and the above ranking holds true.

Hey Cleo I have a blog network with 200+ subdomains and wish the hell I had gone categories rather than subdomains.
I'm not seeing the SEO benefits that there used to be and it's a real pain in the ass making changes to the templates

Yeah I've decided to go with subfolders and not subdomains. I've never liked subdomains and see no reason to change now.

Much to do yet but I got one feed into my blog and I've started to edit its template. Blog

Do people usually mix handwritten entries in with feeds or make each their own category?

Also on the feeds,
Unfamiliar categories:
create a new category
create a new tag

I've got create a new tag selected. What are others doing.
