keyword(subdomain).keyword(EMD).com/keyword(subdirectory)

Has anyone tried something like that?
with exact keyword in all subdomain, domain and subdirectory,
does it bring any benefits in terms of SEO?

Thanks

I have not tried that. I am currently working in the dating niche and I've decided to try and target specific products through use of subdomain.

I've never used a subdomain before. Hypothetically it should be the same difficulty level but I don't think I've ever seen a top listing for nichekeyword.yourdomain.com

Anyone with experience had success?

The only advantage of having a subdomain is if you're main domain is already powerful or you're simply looking to separate content and there is some search volume for the [subdomain].[main domain] term.

For example, if you wish to separate content by location, you could use:
brazilian.football.com, russian.football.com, etc.

or, if you have a main content rich site and you wish to separate an e-commerce store from this.
For example: ipod.com (main domain), shopping.ipod.com (subdomain = e-commerce store)

In most cases, I'd just use a subdirectory, but really depends on what you're trying to do.

With sub-domains you will lose the PR juice flow between website inner pages since you are basically making a sub-domain for each page/keyword and google treas each sub-domain as independent domain.

Matt cutts recently said that they were reconsidering sub-domain status, and that they were possibly going to be treated as part of the main domain in the near future for ranking/searhc purposes.

I've been meaning to do some proper empirical testing on this for a while - but you know... Time is not my friend...

I suspect that there would be no difference between:

diets.weight-loss.com - or - weight-loss.com/diets

But I was wondering whether using sub-domains could allow me to move other keywords closer to the front of a URL, where they have more power?

I don't think this can happen. Think of blogger spam blogs getting ranked as legit blogs with unique content on the same domain?

I am asking this because the domain is only 2-3 days old.
I dont really have anything to lose since the actual domain doesnt have any PR anyways.
I was just wondering if creating keyword in all subdomain,domain,subdirectory will help in SERP at all?
