    hey thanks.

    I have a main site (site1.com) and I added a domain on cpanel "add-on domain" another domain (site2.com). yes it is a subfolder & can be view in addondomain.site1.com

    will site2.com have an affect with regards to seo because its just a subdomain and site2.com is redirecting only to addondomain.site1.com?

    It won't affect your SEO...each page is content specific...it will increase your overall domain traffic...which will actually benefit the SEO of both pages.

    is there so much handwringing and bragging about having separate ip adresses for each domain?.i notice in search results the add ons often come up in the results nearby on the page ;that tells me google sees an "association" so does this not mean that links btwn pages that are add ons of the same domain ar e worthless?

    it will effect if you use the same content from site1 to site2 but if they are doing different content taht would be fine. another thing to care about is dont add many add-on domaina and all got the link point to same domain. it iwll be consider as spam since they are all in the same IP.

    Just make sure you need the subdomain. In 99% of all cases, there is no need for a subdomain when it is done for seo reasons.

    just makes sure u create a robots.txt blocking SEs from the subdomain. Or make sure it does NOT get linked to otherwise u will be pinged for duplicate content.

    By creating a subdomain, the SEs see it as a separate entity. I know of cases where the subdomain was banned from the SERPs, but the main domain was fine.

    It really shouldn't do. My site is an 'add-on' (I don't use the initial domain name I got hosted, but I seem stuck with it) and I managed to get all my pages with a SEO score of 100% at domaintools.com (took me a while, mind!).

    'Course I'm not sure whether that will have any relevance to Google and co. If it doesn't I'll not bother spending the time going for 100% again. :(

    I dont think u know wats going on. When u create an addon domain with most accounts it creates a subdomain to keep the stuff in but everything is seen as the main domain... but these can be indexed seperately thus duplicate content....

    It wont affect SEO.
    You can have subdomains without any problem if the contents are unique.

    Yes, trichnosis is absolutely correct!

    When an Add On domain is created it creates the subdomain on the host for host reference and ftp purpose only.. But when you type that Add On subdomain name in as http:// in the browser bar like this "sitefolder.maindomain. com" and hit enter it is redirected to the Add On domain name as it appears.. So. therefore there is no indexing of the subdomain structure on the http:// web protocol level..
