What would be the best approach for SEO where you have a domain (premium .net framework model) hosted on say server A, and you create another site (free PHP/wordpress model) to drive traffic to it. Would you host the latter as a subfolder or subdomain? Also, where would you choose to host the subdomain or subfolder, on server A or elsewhere?
I would always choose sub-folders over sub-domains. For the most part, sub-domains are treated as separate websites (not entirely, but for the most part), and sub-folders are treated as part the main site. Links to internal pages tend to pass more weight than links to external sites.
