        Hi Miguel,

        Probably not! You'd be better off keeping them all on the same level on the domain, but perhaps your URLs could be tidied up to be more like...

        shop.com/category/product/

        A sub-domain is basically a new website, you may as well have one site to optimise for than having a bunch of smaller sites struggling. Strong together - weak apart.

          I agree with Andie, subdomains are basically new websites. They carry NO value because they are in a new folder, not a subfolder.

          If you want to make your URLs prettier, check to see if there is a plugin for the software you use to simplify the process. If you have only a couple hundred products, I would go old school and stay away from plugins.
