  "When Google displays the results of a search query, it will only return a maximum of two relevant searches results per hostname. This behaviour is called ‘host crowding’ and it means the user will have exposure to more than a single website for a search term.

  A subdirectory, or a folder, will be considered part of the top level domain so this additional content or categories will still only show two results per search term on the result page.

  Subdomains however, get around this limitation because they are being treated as a unique hostname. This means one top level domain can potentially dominate search engine result pages with all of their own content, depending on how many subdomains they might have that are relevant to the search term."
