The definition of them is a secondary or substitute domain plateau. A regular one looks as follows: www.domain.com. A sub domain looks like this http://subdomain.domain.com. The difference is that www is not at the front of the url.

Efficiently is ranked well by subdomains. Search engine spiders and bots do not discern between the ranking of sectioned off subdomains and regular domains. Provided you have optimized your content with SEO keywords, having a subdomain or a regular one makes no difference.

Lets say that your site has a plethora of categories in it. In searching the Internet, it is possible to search each personal section and get a positive rank.

Each sone would be looked at by search engines as a new site with its own index or home page. You may want to try creating subfolders to get around this so that search engines can read the folder as one set of site information.

If the main name is banned do not worry about your subdomain being banned. This is affected if the main domain happened to be banned. You will notice it a lot in sites which have adult content and are violating certain agreements signed with a provider that does not want a site used to host adult material.

Again, there is nothing wrong with using them. If you want to develop each one as its own entity, then by all means, do so. If not, get yourself a main domain name and use that as a certified landing page.
