Hi all!
I want to know why do we create subdomains when they are treated as separate domains by the search engines? Rather we can have another domain or if the pages are less we can add those as .html pages to the parent domain. Moreover, why it is insisted to put / at the end of URLs?
Thanks in advance for any help.....

I tend to create subdomains when it makes sense to - here's an example I'm currently working on.
~ I have a contest website.
~ I have a stats & news site.
They will be combined shortly.
So, since they are related, but not really cross-overs, I'll subdomain the contest site under the stats/news site.
In my case, the stats/news site is the larger, longer established of the two, though both are well over 6 years old and established.
If I subdomain the contest site under the stats/news site, I can 301 all the old contest domain pages over to the "new" subdomain website and it should keep the values for rankings, PR, etc. largely intact.
Ultimately it's a choice - we could also do the same thing by creating http://www.stats/newssite.com/contests, but in reality, it IS a separate site/content group, so we choose subdomaining.
As for the trailing /, IIRC, this simply means "include files which follow, please". Someone may want to jump on this to provide a clearly explaination.
