www.mysite.com or www.mysite/store?



What are the pros and cons?



Currently I am at www.mysite/store but thinking seriously of a change.

First you just see on google how many links they have indexed on search engine. For this just type site://www.yoursite.com or without www



If they have not indexed 100+ links than you can change your directory, but you have to change so many thinks like uploading folders to other directory, editing config files etc. I seriously tell you don’t waste your time just stick with your current position.

If u got domain why use subdomain?

Miracles,



I am not clear what you mean by changing directories?



Basically I think that all I have to do is move one folder and change one config file. Then make a redirect from my control panel.



Perhaps 30 minutes work in total?



Darius,



If you are asking why did I use /store up till now it is because I had more flexibility with Dreamweaver and was planning to keep my reliance on shopping carts to a minimum.

Nobody would be willing to advertise on a subdomain only on root. Not sure if I understand how this is better for Dreamweaver…

Darius,



I do not do use ads buy or sell we only use word of mouth for sales.



Dreamweaver makes it very easy to design web pages that is what I meant

http://www.domain.com



using

www.domain.com/store = feeling of pressured to purchase something

www.domain.com = everyday website

shop.domain.com = ok, but why make shopping another "click affair?

I understand but does it have to do with subdomain?

I was thinking at first that I would do a lot of nice web pages with content using Dreamweaver on my root mysite.com



I have two small kids and never found the time and my mysite.com page is old and out of date.



So now I think that mysite.com is a good place to put my CS cart store as it is easier for people to remember.



If time allows I would still like to design all my pages using Dreamweaver and have an “add to cart” link to CS Cart which would quietly work in the background.
