Setting up a new blog as a subdomain. Will it be indexed good enough ?

    I have a main blog up and running (houseoftech.co.uk). I wanted to start another blog but i do not have enough cash atm to get me a new hosting. I am however going to a buy a new domain for that blog.

    My blog's webhost is bluehost. And they give the option to host a new blog as a sub blog and assign a sub domain to it. ( With wordpress settings i can change the domain to the new domain i bought).

    My question was, will this be effective when it comes to SEO. Will it get indexed in the Google Search. The new blog I am trying to make is about money (entirely different from my previous one)


    P.S: I am asking this because i had previously set up a blog like this. It is still running but i am about to give it up. (sportsStreamingLive.com) I however saw some irregularities in the Stats in Wordpress ( I use slimstat plugin)
    Most my traffic was from Facebook however it kept showing me the source as houseoftech.co.uk/so on
    I have placed no link on the original blog nor even advertised or mentioned in anyway

    For all purposes, a subdomain is a completely different domain. Not only from the point of view of the DNS, but also from the point of view of the search engines.

    So yes, you can create a subdomain for your blog,and it will not affect your main domain in the search engines. It will not hurt either the SEO you perform for the subdomain.

    just one advice: If the subdomain could potentially be penalized by the search engines, then make sure that you do not have cross-links between the main domain and the subdomain.

    P.D. For indexing, you'll have to submit it to the search engines separately. As it is a domain of its own, it will not be identified by the search engines, unless you have a link to it from the main domain. And as I pointed out above, that might be sometimes not a good idea...
