Are Subdomains good in Yahoo?
I set up two sites on the same topic with similar, but not duplicate content. On one site, I used directories to divide the topics. On the other, I used subdomains. The same set of KWs were used to name directories and subdomains.
In Yahoo, both sites rank about the same (5 to 12) for a KW phrase that includes the directory or subdomain name. The SERPs show the directory or subdomain page optimized for that KW, not the site index that has all the IBLs.
Yahoo is giving ranking the subdomain site very well considering almost no IBLs. It's nowhere in G and M. Either Yahoo doesn't give a yodel about IBLs or it gives a subdomain a boost.
