Hi everybody ! I am starting to add backlinks to a new website. The main www site has also a subdomain for the forums, as forums.domain.com. I would like to ask if i must link the main web site or add also the subdomain. Does google (and other se) automatically understand subdomains ? Or i must do a separate combat about it ? Thanks
if so, then it is better to have www.domain.com/forums instead of a subdomain. I mean for the search engines, since technically it is better to be separated pools.
It's about not to matter with Google: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=591060 I'd still go for the subfolder over the subdomain though.
