Two cool new sites offering new social networking icon sets. It’s always nice to see new sets and I’m always looking so if you know of one I have not posted please let me know or if you’ve designed one and you’d like to be featured – Let me know!
Both sites were designed using.. My Site My Way which is something new to me..what I found strange instead of them having their own domain names they use a subdomain – for example: icons.mysitemyway.com must be great for mysitemyway’s search engine results! However..If I were the webmaster for one of these web sites above, I would nix using the mysitemyway’s subdomain and definitely register my own domain name. Because I’d want my ranking, seo etc.. to go towards my web site not my web hosts. Plus I never recommend sub domains. Use a .com and point to your main index so that people can type your domain name directly into their browsers and show up where they need to go without having to remember a long sub domain address.
Random and possibly use-ful or use-less information…
Understanding Sub-Domains and Sub Directory and how it effects SEO
“blog.domain.com” is a subdomain while “domain.com/blog” is a subdirectory or a folder within a domain.
A sub domain creates more separation than just a sub directory or a folder, since a subdomain is basically creating a stand alone site that could easily be it’s own domain. However, you may want to piggyback on the main domain name. For example, google.com is the main site. Gmail actually lives at mail.google.com.
