Do you have a Sub-directory web site?

I uploaded Joomla in one directory and Drupal in another directory, because they both have their own index.php for their home page, and I created names for these directories to match a website name, does that make them separate websites in your main site, or because they are located as sub directories, are they only considered a sub directory in your main site.

This has been bothering me since I have started my site, because I do a link exchange with a website, and they ask me if I have any other sites to exchange with, and I tell them the sub directory site I created and they don’t respond.

Also, is it better for Search Engine Optimization to have multiple websites instead of sub directory websites? And is it also best because Google adsense pays you for more impressions and clicks?
Example: My main site is mainsite.com/index.php(Drupal), and I have a sub-directory called mainsite.com/GamerPlace/index.php(Joomla), and it has its own database, then I have another sub-directory called mainsite.com/Game_Reviews/index.php(PHPNuke, and it has its own database and structure.

    you can use a sub domain,not a sub directory….
    example:
    subdomain:
    gamerplace.mainsite.com
    gamereview.mainsite.com

    not a sub directory…….

    I’m a sophomore studying web development. You can use a sub-directory for your website. I have a couple sites that are four or more folders deep for some of my college classes, and they work just fine. It is just not normally done. You want your website to be easy for users to type in and to remember. This is why it is better to set up a sub-domain that points to the sub-directory. I’m not up on the SEO stuff yet.

    gamerplace.mainsite.com is easier than mainsite.com/GamerPlace/index.php
