Whats the best way to put my articles up?

[bazza23]

Hi, I've been watching the videos over this past week and I want to ask a question. In one of the videos is says to go after the keywords that are further down the list and aren't being targeted as strongly.

I've been doing this and writing articles based on the keywords in question but when I put up that page should I put it up as

http://www.mysite.com/keyword.html

or
http://www.keyword.mysite.com (as a subdomain off my main site)

Does this look better in the eyes of the search engines or am I just making work for myself and it wont matter at all??

You thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Go for whatever will be the easiest to maintain. What might be excellent for search engines today might make no difference next month. Don't build for the search engines, build for visitors and maintenance.

But, another alternative would be:

http://www.mysite.com/keyword/

Trying too hard will be flagged by the search engines and might cause problems. The best long term answer is develop for visitors as ultimately that is what search engines are optimising towards.

I would 100% go with your first example. Steer clear of having a whole load of subdomains if you can, it's really not worth the hassle.

First you feel which one will be better to you for maintaining and here are lots of sites which are already using your 1st exampal but try to do somthing diffrect ( I'm not tolking about only domin ) and dont think about search engine on that mater b'coz here all are depand on you to how you can optimize.

Best of luck

Subdomains are treated as separate domains by the Search Engines, so don't use them unless you really want to separate the topics of the main domain and the subdomains. For SEO purposes the directory structure is the best.
