Subdomains vs ccTLD in International SEO

[edwardlewis]

I'm interested to see if anyone has any additional thoughts or recent experience on subdomains vs ccTLD for International SEO.

An article I found on this site is from March 2011, so just wanted to check if this is still relevant?

Edward,

On the whole this is ok, but there are newer things to consider like the change for targeting multiple languages using hreflang: From GWMT.

The best for Folders/subdomains/ccTLD's is the chart (near end of page) with pros and cons in GWMT here

I think you will find both up to date and exceedingly helpful.

Best to you,

Robert
