Ranking a subdomain can it be done

[Chatters]

I have been looking around the internet and I see that a lot of people use just domain names for there website but you never see a subdomain ranked high in search engines.

I have also read on other forums and have been told that subdomains don’t rank well in the top search engines, is this true?

If this is true does any one know why?

this is not true .....sometimes with large site SubDomain must needed there. and many subdomian ranking well in all search engines.

But logically it's batter to make directory structure rather than subdomain.

Ex: http:// www. xyz. com/ folder/ is batter than http:// www. folder.xyz. com

Yes I think my self I root is better and eayer to rank that a subdomain, but subs can be ranked as well I have seen lots of websites with rankings on subdoamins.

Remember that if you are using a subdomain you should use it at the start of a new section, and yo0u should not aim more that one subdomain at that section. Also make sure you dont have a root path aiming at that section as well these will be classed a duplicate content by the search engines and will not help in any rankings what so ever

then why not people use subdomains?
