Should I use the domain or a subdomain?

[theoiproject]

I have found a keyword rich domain that can be used for many subjects.

Should I use the TLD for all subjects or should I use sub domains for each subject?

And if I use subs should I leave the TLD alone or have quality content and have links pointing to the subs?

From what I have been reading having keywords in the domain are a positive but is that also true if you use sub domains?

Also from what I have read is that if you use subs it doesn't have an effect on the TLD or other subs if you piss off gaggle?

Just stick with the TLD. Its your best bet. Don't get involved in subs if the TLD has keywords in the domain.

I'd use folders if I were you. I find that less messy.

Hope that helps.

I have decided that for organic seo, original domains with keyword in them is the way to go.

thanks for the info.

another question though...

if keywords are good in a domain does it roll with the subs.

ex: "local city". meet singles online. c0m <---not mine just an ex.

when someone does a search to meet singles and uses

"local city singles online" will it still make a difference or does the sub kinda put a stop on things?

im assuming from the suggestion already mentioned that

meet singles online. c0m/local city

is better?

thanks again for the info!
