using sub-domains rather than main domain
Hi there,
I have decided to develop a website over the next couple weeks. Before I start, I was wondering about whether using sub-domains is good for search engines or whether it would be wise to stick to just using the main domain.
i.e.
sub-domain examples:
articles.example.com
news.example.com
mail.example.com
main domain examples:
www.example.com/articles/
www.example.com/news/
www.example.com/mail/
I just wondered whether using sub-domains affected ranking within search engines? I know very little about SEO, so I just thought I'd ask those that are knowledgeable.
Thanks,
Greg

Greg, it would make no difference, either way. The main thing Google looks at is anchor text.
