: Should I use multiple subdomains for a website that supports multiple cities? So the closest example I can give is craigslist, for example: Craigslist Winnipeg: http://winnipeg.craigslist.ca/ Craigslist

So the closest example I can give is craigslist, for example:


Craigslist Winnipeg: winnipeg.craigslist.ca/ Craigslist Toronto: toronto.craigslist.ca/

Is copying this style going to hurt me a lot SEO wise? Does it make more sense to have cities setup as newproject.com/winnipeg/ or winnipeg.newproject.com

Personally I prefer the newproject.com/winnipeg/ And the reason for this is when I'm thinking of a site I think of the name of the site and not the city / country first, thats an after thought.

Also people are more likely to spell the name of the site correctly as it could be less characters. Even if they do get the country/area wrong atleast they will still end up on your site.

But this could be just a preference thing.

I can't see any reason why it would hurt you, it's relevant and helpful to users and to bots. Personally I would go for the sub-domain setup because it's cleaner.
