Hi guys. I wanted to know if creating a sub-domain is goin to effect my main domain google traffic. I have a site which is www.something.org Code (markup): , it gets around 30k/day. I wanted to start a blog, so i was thinking of making a sub-domain like this www.blog.something.org Code (markup): So please tell me is it goin to hurt my google traffic. And 1 more thing, on the other hand. Does it help, if i make a sub-domain of a domain which gets 30k from google, like gets indexed faster, starts to get google traffic soon. Please giude me. Thx.
As people have already said... having sub domain will not affect your main site and so you can very well go on. I would in fact advise you to make a folder like something.com/blog for hosting a blog to your main site instead of a sub domain. Regards, RightMan
no it won't unless your main domain stays on top of the serp. BTW, where do you get your traffic?Is it by SE or referring sites?
I get 80% traffic from google. Thx Rightman. So you sayin, i should make a folder called something.com/blog instead of goin for sub-domain. Is it bad or like /blog is better than creating a sub-domain?
Subdomain and root domain will be treated separately. The creation of subdomain will not effect root domain whether PR or ranking. You can even put a link pointing to root domain to increase ranking and PR. However, it might not give a huge impact since this kind of link is easily to be manipulated.
100% correct. You can go ahead and start a blog using a subdomain without ant lose in traffic to main domain.
Hello, Yes its correct that, Google will treat your sub domain as a new domain, and it will not effect on your main domain, from where you have generated a sub domain, so just stay cool and go ahead with your things ! For More information & seo services, contact: thanks!
