Subdomains

The Monkey

Ok, I have a curiousity...if I build a bunch of subdomains for different niches so that if say someone wants to go to the gay section of my site it goes to gay.domain.com...will this hurt me with google? And would it hurt me if I submit the subdomains to google?

Thanks!!!

Note: lets try this again. WARNING I will delete all inappropriate/off topic posts

My original answer still stands;)

Overuse of subdomains eg: for single 3-4 pages sites can be seen as domain spamming by google.

..and despite what some people might tell you it does not count as "another domain"

Use them only if you have a valid reason.

I do it for organization purposes and to make my life easier. My main site is at my base URL, then when I decided I wanted to build a site that focused on a different area, I made a subdomain.

I do that with a sub directory :)
