[BUSINESS] use subdomains or individual domains for blogs

[plumpprincessxxx]

Hi just asking to educate myself on the pros and cons of using subdomains or keeping each blog on it's own domain.

Thank you for the help.

I use domains, sub-domains and folders depending on what i need to do.

All depends on what I am doing, for white label sites I put them on a domain , for blogs I use sub's.

Subdomains do not increase the alexa rank of the main domain, where as folders do. If you care about your alexa ranking that is.

I like folders myself

Subdomains for my white labels and folders for my own sites.

I'm into subdomains this last few months. I think it will help with my search results.

Trying to keep my expenses low so i have 3 domains and just using subdomains on them for sites and white labels.

Buying one domain for each blog is expensive so I use sub-domains

Sub domains are seen as a seperate entity by google https://www.hostgator.com/blog/what-are ... ffect-seo/

From an SEO standpoint, I would steer clear of them and stick to one domain with folders.

Exactly right

sub domains are not going to help your main domain, use folders.

I am a sub-domain freak, have dozens of them per domain name.

In simple terms a sub-domain is no different for Google than another domain
