Yahoo News-Yahoo Games-Yahoo Music-Yahoo Finance
There are many special Yahoo search properties that are not part of its searchable subject index and search engine listings. Here are a few, including Yahoo Music, Yahoo News, Yahoo Games, etc.
Yahoo Search
- Yahoo News: Worldwide news, breaking news, odd news, even obituaries are included in the Yahoo news site. I especially enjoy the slideshows.
- Yahoo Maps: Get maps, driving directions, and real-time traffic reports with Yahoo maps.
- Yahoo Weather: Find out what the weather’s like not only in your neck of the woods, but all over the world with Yahoo Weather. Includes full coverage of major storms, satellite images, snow finders, and a national flu report when season-appropriate.
- Yahoo Movies: View previews, clips, get showtimes, and see what’s coming up over at Yahoo Movies.
- You can also view a huge alphabetical list of movies that have been out for a while, and most have trailers and clips as well.
- Yahoo Fantasy Sports. How cool is this! Yahoo Fantasy football, auto racing, baseball.. you name it, you can play it.

What is a subdomain? Is it hard for a sub-domain to rank well? When should a use a subdomain? What are the SEO benefits? What are the alternatives to a subdomain? These are all very good questions. Lucky for you, all the answers are right here. So let’s get to it.
What is a subdomain?
A subdomain is just as it sounds, a sub or second-level of a domain. A standard domain looks as follows: www.mydomain.com. A sub domain would be http://prefix.mydomain.com. Subdomains do not take on the "WWW".
All subs start with "http://subdomain/maindomain.com.
That’s simple enough, I think. We have all seen a subdomain before. On to the next question.
Is it hard for a subdomain to rank well?
Subdomains rank just as well as regular domains. Having a subdomain doesn’t decrease your chances of ranking on search engines. You’ll just have to treat each subdomain as a new, individual site. This means work on building PR and links. As with any domain, you don’t get a free ride.
What are the benefits to using a subdomain?
Let’s say you had a site that had many categories in it. If you were to submit to directories you could submit each subdomain as it’s own individual category and not get penalized. The links from the subdomains to the main domain would be looked upon as one way links from another domain.
