Subdomain/subfolder question

[IceIcebaby]

Hi community,

Let's say I have a men's/women's clothing website. Would it be better to do clothing.com/mens and clothing.com/womens OR mens.clothing.com and womens.clothing.com?

I understand Moz's stance on blogs that it should be clothing.com/blog, but wanted to ask for this different circumstance.

Thanks for your help!

Use the subfolder. The problem with subdomains is that they can be treated as a separate website and if that happens then the strength/signals do not pass to the rest of the website.

Choose the subfolder, a subdomain counts as if it's a completely different domain. I recently moved my blog from a subdomain to a subfolder and the results were great!

It is pretty interesting how often the same question is asked. 
Its good to ask, better than just chose the easiest way - both are right - in that point the folder would be the right decision. Give Horvath a thumb up
