    hi everyone
    i have a question about subdomain. hope someone can give me some advise.
    I created a recipes website with my own php code. And i want to add some recipes related articles. Instead of create some new pages in php. I am thinking of go with blogger. Because i can let my wife to write articles for me . And blogger will easlier for us to manage different style articles.
    I have created a subdomain for my website having it point to blogger. and on my main website page. I have a link always link to my blog. and I will feed some articles to main site from blogger.
    my question is. will this subdomain help my main site ranking ? the reason i write articles is to help my main site ranking. so should i stick with 1 main domain or subdomain is good idea too?

    i was thinking about 3 methods to add blog on my site. anyone has any idea which one is the best for help my main site seo?
    1. mysite.com/blog (own code blog)
    2. mysite.com/blog (create a wp in blog folder)
    3. blog.mysite.com (using blogger)

    thanks

    You can use which ever method is easier for you, it makes absolutely no difference in terms of SEO. You can check one of Matt Cutt's videos about this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MswMYk05tk

    It will help to some extent if the sub domain contains a keyword phrase. But not wholly useful....

    Hi nofai,

    There is nothing wrong in creating a sub domains. But make sure you have redirect the url's correctly. So that search engine not to get confused which page to crawl. If you want to text any of your sub domains you can use real canonical in their testing pages so that it may avoid the duplication issue. Always keep it in mind that link either from your main site or from your blog, it should point out the exact web page clearly. Other than that nothing wrong in creating a sub domains.

    Yes, Subdomain will help in ranking of your website if you have created it in a correct manner. Preferably
    "1. mysite.com/blog (own code blog)"
    "2. mysite.com/blog (create a wp in blog folder)"
    its because if the traffic comes into your blog (xyz) will be counted under your mysite.com, but if you created like blog.mysite.com then mysite.com and blog.mysite.com act as two different domains, and as you are getting traffic on blog.mysite.com it will only rank, while it will not affect the mysite.com domain.

    According to Google, they don't give a sh*t about your sub domain. SEO wise, you should add content on your root domain. Period.
