subdomains vs. folders
 

I am making a little kinda of a review site, i would like to know what is best, to put each review in a subdomain or just in a folder on a root domain, what would be best for the SE's you guys think?

In this particular case, I believe subfolders would be best.

make a new domain for each review.

why in this case? Would their be any case where subdomains would be better?

Well, with subfolders, you will be building a very content rich site. If you use subdomains, you'll essentially have a bunch of single page sites which, unless you get a ton of inbound related links on each, probably won't fair well... and being a review site, I assume these will be interlinked, and interlinked domains / subdomains, especially on the same IP, even though the content is different, could come off a little spammy.

Subdomains are like domains themselves, good for different sites.

i guess subfolders would be better... (i asked the same question on some boards and got the same answer...)

folders better for me

Thanks a bunch for the info :)

could use mod rewrite to create sub domains on the fly
