I buy a domain name - install wordpress, fill it with content, and let'r rip =) However, I imagine that sub-domains will work fine. Keep this in mind - Google indexes and ranks web PAGES, not web SITES. Also, the over-all domain name is not as important as the file/sub-domain name seo-wise. Think Squidoo.com, HubPages.com, or EzineArticles.com - both sites have tons of individual pages that rank for many individual phrases. As does this blog right here..... PotPieGirl isn't exactly a keyword...haha! Or, at least it didn't <i>used to be</i> a keyword. The key is optimizing and promoting each individual web page - regardless of what the site name is. If anyone is using sub-domains - speak up. We'd love to hear. Thanks for reading! Jennifer Hi Nancy =)

I had just loaded WordPress to an existing site trying to refurbish it, was working on the bugs of integrating it, when I found your information before it was announced! Now I have a checklist and don't have to recreate the wheel. Would definitely be interested in promoting this information. Here is a question (with more to follow). How will subdomains work with these minisites. I know you've blogged about subdomains, just wonder if you would use them yourself with this particular model.
