: For SEO what is better, Alias or /Directory/? I had http://foo.tld/ cancelled because foo was a name too similar to a brand, so the DNS authority cancelled it. So I will register http://bar.tld/

I had foo.tld/ cancelled because foo was a name too similar to a brand, so the DNS authority cancelled it. So I will register bar.tld/ to talk about 'foo'.

'foo' as ALIAS:
foo.bar.tld/
'foo' as /Directory/:
bar.tld/foo/
I personally prefer the Alias way, it one less /Directory/.

So my question is, how should I develop the website, or both ways are the same? Can anyone point out the differences?

Google has stated, through Matt Cutts, that it doesn't matter to them. They also say what I would say, that foo.bar.tld is a separate site from bar.tld and bar.tld/foo is a sub of bar.tld.

So, if you want to keep foo unique from anything else, I would do foo.bar.tld. If foo is part of bar then do bar.tld/foo
