I have been doing some research on this topic and according to the folks at Alexa, they do not track traffic to your subdomain. They only track traffic to your main home page.

I am having a problem currently with getting accurate stats from Alexa because they are only tracking traffic to my main homepage and not my blog.site.com. Unfortunately, the main homepage gets next to nothing traffic while the blog gets about 10,000 unique visitors per month.

So consider that when choosing a subdomain. If showing a legitimate traffic ranking is important then it can be a nightmare to get Alexa to figure out what is what.

I would like a domain instead for each niche, so that I can sell the website when I am done with it.

On one of my site I created subdomains for each of the different section but each subdomain had 1 page only.
Do you think I shall change it to sub directory instead or add more content to subdomains?

Great information. I am starting a blog and this entry reminded me that I should use a subdomain rather than a new website address.

I think you’re referring to using subdomain for different websites. Personally, I don’t think it’s a good idea. First, Google treats subdomain as a new domain. Second, link building for subdomain is generally harder as you can’t do things like directory submission.
