Default Effects of a sub-domain/folder

Hi Guys

doing a big SEO re-work on one of my sites and would like some expert input...

Let's assume that the site I am working on is over 2 years old and I do not wish to change the domain name to a KWR one due to age deflation.

If I create a sub folder such as www mydomain co uk/NEW STUFF/ and all the sub sections etc go into a folder such as CONTENT would the SEO work be impinge on it being below the top level? (the structure would then be mydomain/NEW STUFF/CONTENT/)

The thinking is that I am building a few MICRO sites that offer different products/services to my top level domain...

Or...is the age deflation over thought and should I buy a KWR name and put the new content from the old site onto the new name and 301

Hope that is clear, if not, feel free to probe...

T.I.A.

Daren

Index/about/contact/T&c etc on the top level root, then folders below on topic KW rich are absolutely the best way to go

Absolutely. Be certain to use the keyword for each folder name too, definitely don't waste an important opportunity by naming your folders New Stuff.

www.mydomain.com/keyword/keyword_product.htm over www.mydomain.com/newstuff/newpage.htm

I believe 301 redirects would be enough.
