or use dirs, like this:
states.com linking to states.com/alabama/, states.com/alabama/ linking back to states.com
It depends on what you want. You might want to use states.com and build up a large backlink network and hope that individual directories/sites rank well. Results in serps will be limited to 2 pages per domain. Or you could spread it out over 50 subdomains and spread the PR individually. You might still rank really well depending on what keywords you're targetting and hit more than 1 state in the serps because you'd be getting 2 results per subdomain. Its really up to the webmaster how you want to spread the PR / backlinks.
