hi everybody I would like to know if i upload my website under my domain name is better then if i just forward my domain to were it is uploaded? does it affect on how my site will rank on google? because my website its uploaded under a domain that has nothing to do with what my site is about. im new to seo i want to start optimizing my site from scratch i want make sure i do it right from the start. thank you. Luis
not at all youll be okay ... it has nothin to do with ranks honestly... if have some good.... just update with blog is best... good luck
domain name is a very important factor in ranking. you do offsite promotion/link building using domian name so its important where your site is uploaded to. you should upload your site to its own domain and not redirect
Do not perform a 301-redirect as that type of PR is fake. If you're planning on selling the website, you won't get much for it. People want real PR, and not fake. I suggest you move your website to your own domain.
I hate to say this but you have absolutely no clue what you are discussing. A 301 passes the only PageRank there is..... it would not pass fake PageRank that is generated by a script........ Please do not post an answer that you have not researched. Doing so spreads rumor and innuendo that helps nobody. Google (the ones who pass the PageRank) tell webmasters to 301 their pages for a number of reasons....... Your telling people not to, but do not have the qualification to do so....
If I understand your question, you are asking if you should move your main application to the web root, or if you should leave it in the subdirectory you first installed it in. My answer is that if this is your main page you want people to see when they go to your website, you should move it to the web root. There are a few different reasons for that. First, you don't want to have to redirect people to a subdirectory. That means that in order to accrue pagerank, and get value from your backlinks, all of your backlinks will have to go directly to your subdirectory. you might always remember to do that, but people that link to your naturally probably won't. you can probably use a 301 redirect to pass the pagerank from your homepage to your subdirectory, but I think that's a low grade solution. Second, length of domain probably still is a positive factor in SEO. You'll probably get a few people that argue against this, and there's no way to know for sure, but I think it still is. Not a huge factor, not even a very big factor, but a factor nonetheless. And since it's something so easy to fix, you might as well go ahead and do it. Why take the chance that you pass on a positive SEO factor that's easy to fix? Best of luck.
