Hello everybody

Having received good critics for my last attempt on free site design, I am almost ready to go on a paid host, but still have a question that needs to be clarified, provided I can put it down in a way you can understand what I mean.

Let’s suppose I get my own domain – www.bert.com

and I am doing free sites for blondes and brunettes.

One way would be to use “sub-domains”:

http://blondes.bert.com
http://brunettes.bert.com

But I saw a thread where LL owners said they don’t accept sub-domains.

So, another way, using directories:

www.bert.com/blondes
www.bert.com/brunettes

And since I will be making more than one site, they would go like:

www.bert.com/blondes/01
www.bert.com/blondes/02
www.bert.com/blondes/03

Now, for LLs and doorways (need at least 3 of these)

www.bert.com/blondes/01/01/index.htm
www.bert.com/blondes/01/02/index.htm
www.bert.com/blondes/01/03/index.htm

and naturally, the tour and galleries pages will be placed in the correspondent directory.
Furthermore, I would submit each index page to SEs.

Does this make sense or am I thinking wrong?

Would love to hear your comments, especially from people operating LLs.

All help welcome and much appreciated.

You are much better off naming your directories with niche keywords instead of using numbers.

That sounds good, except you might want to change the 01/index.html
02/index.html

to

description/index.html
keyword/index.html

that way it does not look so obvious. Just a suggestion.

What Cleo said...

Subdomains have become some new gimic, but like most gimics are not of any real value. Sub-dir is easier, quicker, and less likely to disappear.
