Greetings GFY.

First of all; I'm pretty new here so you probably haven't seen me around just yet. So yeah... hi!

The past days I've been reading up on SEO articles, but there are just so many diffrent opinions, and so much stuff I found seemed to be very outdated. So instead of getting a headache of looking up each subject with over 9 milion diffrent opinions and explanations I thought I'd make a thread on GFY.

Let's say we start the adult website "porn.com" and we have 40 diffrent categories; for example Asian, Anal, BBW,... with multiple pages for each category. What would be the best structure to build the pages?

#1 -----
1. Subdomains: asian.porn.com, anal.porn.com, bbw.porn.com,...
2. Subfolders: porn.com/asian/pages.html, porn.com/anal/pages.html, porn.com/bbw/pages.html,...
3. Mainfolder: porn.com/asian.html, porn.com/anal.html, porn.com/bbw.html (and additional pages with numbers i.e. anal2.html, anal3.html

#2 -----
How does Google treat the above structures? Are subdomains, subfolders or just pages in the maindirectory considered as a part of the domain porn.com? Or does it count subdomains and subfolders as seperate websites?

#2.1 ------
What if we assign a new domain name to a subdomain or subfolder? Is there any diffrence how search engine will treat it compared to site.domain.com ?

#3 ------
If we link from a subdomain or subfolder to another subdomain or folder, or the mainsite even will it count as a valid backlink? Or is there any penalty for interlinking?

4# -----
Let's say we decide to use the subfolder structure for the categories (porn.com/anal/pageshere.html).
What if we exchange links to those subfolders? A random site links to our subfolder porn.com/anal. Will that backlink count for the maindomain porn.com? or only for porn.com/anal?

5# -----
Can we start a seperate site on a subdomain, assigning a new domain name to it, and have it treatened as a seperate site?

Sorry if some of the questions share the same answer - The answers are probably pretty obvious once the basics have been answered. I'd like to get some up-to-date answers to my questions, so please don't link me something that was written in 1999 :p

Thanks in advance <3
