If A Subdomain Is Banned, Will the Main Domain Be Banned?

Hey Everyone
I've got a sort of network site, and I have some BANS sites on subdomains. I also have loads of other stuff (some completely unrelated) spread across my subdomains.
Now I've seen on the BANS site that Google seems to be peanalising BANS sites, and I was wondering, if the subdomain gets peanalised / banned, will the rest of the domain be effected?
Thanks!

 

Yes, remember a sub-domain is just a domain name system alias. So if a sub-domain was banned, most likely all hierarchy aliases for that domain and that domain itself would be banned. I'm positive that Google uses hostnames & IPs to ban websites from their index.

 

normally if the subdomain being penalized the domain are effected too.

 

ah, ok. In that case, i'm off to buy some .infos

 

I don´t think so. If a robot would banned you then your main domain will be ok because robots understand the subdomain as a different domain but if a human banned your subdomain then it could be possible that he/she bans your main domain too. That is my understanding. I have an example for that too. A social networking banned my main domain but I am sending posts with my subdomain and it is fully ok. No problem.

 

A subdomain is still a domain name alias, most likely they would ban the entire domain name. If not, you could just change the sub-domain alias

 

Find out the reason you were banned .. and fix that up and you will be saved

 

I wasn't banned, I'm worried that I might be, or that my site might be peanalised for the BANS stores
I've bought some .info domains, those'll do

 

I don't think that the entire domain would be banned if a subdomain gets banned. Subdomains are considered to be self-standing sites; the main domain shouldn't be affected. I'll give you an example: if a blogspot blog is banned, will the entire domain be banned? If a wordpress.com blog is banned, will the entire wordpress.com domain be banned? No, it wouldn't.

 

I dont think a subdomain ban would affect the entire domain.. if thats the case blogspot.com wordpress.com and countless other free hosters domains would be banned hehehe

Disclaimer: I might be wrong

Well blogspot doesn't have a problem, Google own it, I don't know about wordpress.com. Maybe they get exempt because they offer free hosting? :\

 

BlogSpot hostes by Google ... but law for every one is same ... !!

 

Do you use Google Webmaster Tools?

If a ban comes up, you'll be notified...

 

A while ago someone on dp suggested that a subdomain interlinked with the main domain was treated as part of the main site, whereas one that was not interlinked was treated as a separate site.

So a subdomain with links to and from the main domain is treated as part of the main domain - and they would both be banned together.

That would also explain why an individual blogspot / wordpress blog can be banned without the whole site being banned, because blogspot.com etc don't link to the individual subdomains.

Sounds plausible, I think. I haven't tested it because I don't want anything banned, even a subdomain.

 

Sub-domain is treated by google in the same way as domain, unless they are strongly linked.
If google uses hostnames & ips to ban websites how it's possible that shared hostings are still doing fine?
About a year ago google banned about 20 my subdomains, but main domain is still in google index; the same thing happened with some of my other subdomains/domains.
You have any proof for your theory about bans on main domains/ips?

 

if sub domain band then all domain band

 

imagine a blogspot blog with alot of spam, it could get banned but blogspot.com would obviously be intact.

 

Google is not banning BANS sites. I should know, I have nearly 100 stores. Google is going through a huge algo/dance right now. Just relax.

 

This is different story. Be sure also google are aware of such sites. The sub-domain is just a system alias of the domain name, if it gets banned, I'm 90% sure all the related aliases will be banned also. Otherwise you could easely manipulate google.

 

There are sites where everyone can have a free subdomains, incase some how, someones subdomain is banned, Now will this means that all other sub domains + the main domain will be banned too ?

Not sure.
