Should You Use Sub Domains or Sub Directories?

There are sub domains and there are sub directories. Which one should you use?
An example of a sub domain is keyword.example.com. An example of a sub directory is example.com/keyword.
In general, most sites should use sub directories because their website is on one topic. But when your website is on multiple topics you should use sub domains.
For example, let's say you have a blog about entrepreneurship and know you want to talk about stocks and investing. If you want to place that content on your website you may want to consider placing it on a sub domain.
If you have a large website that is popular and high in authority, such as a site like Huffington Post, you can put everything in a sub directory, but in general, you want your website to only be on one topic.
If it is on one topic, use sub directories and if it is on multiple topics consider using sub domains.

Well said bro.. We use sub-directories in our domain but when we are testing mode or in development state of any new application we use sub-domain

Also this could apply for online stores, that sell diverse products.
@neilpatel
@neilpatel 6 лет назад
Yes, but with most online stores, sub directories are better even if they sell different products. It keeps it simpler.

Hi Neil. Is a subdirectory the same thing as a subfolder or am I totally wrong?
@neilpatel

Yes it is the same thing.

what if you have blogs with diffrentes languages ? like for example a blog post with english and the other in arabic ?
@neilpatel
@neilpatel 2 года назад
Either could work, it just depends on how you want to set it up :) I'd likely go with a subdomain.

How to generate sub domains as My website is already live now? Can I change the url's of each niche with a sub domain name?
@neilpatel
@neilpatel 6 лет назад
You would have to ask a developer to help you out. It varies a lot per server.

@neilpatel
@neilpatel 6 лет назад
Either one works. Don't worry too much about difficulty.
@newsintranding5675
@newsintranding5675 6 лет назад
ok thank but some people said if you have find less difficulty keyword then you higher rank on Google. what is the truth???
@neilpatel
@neilpatel 6 лет назад
It is, but in general if you go after difficult terms you will naturally rank for long tail keywords as well which are easier (assuming you have in depth content)
@newsintranding5675
@newsintranding5675 6 лет назад
ok thanks but suggest me a better tool for keyword research
@neilpatel
@neilpatel 6 лет назад
Those are the main ones... I use SEMrush and Ahrefs a lot
