subdomains for seo..good or bad?
 

i am testing out some subdomain strategy for some sites im working on.

i am not getting the crawls compared to the main domain site tho.

was wondering whether it would be good for natural results to use subdomains. or just screw the subdomains and use more domains?

try sub directory if the domain your using is old and has good ranking

give it it's own IP

:pimp

I smell a google black list

i have tried it on a country domain that is 2 years old and has pr
and
i have tried it on a .com domain that is 6 months old that has no pr


same result for the crawling..

doubful, my main site gets listed and results everywhere.

hmm, im gonna test something out on the subdomains just to get the crawls.

does google see subdomains as a different domain completely? if so then i know where i went wrong

why not just register a new domain? they are so cheap these days, there is no reason to bother with subdomains for seo shit

new domain, new IP....always

true, i can probably get any domain to get results.

but subdomains work, ive seen results but im not getting the crawl compared to the main .com site

u dont have to share secrets. just tell me guys!

Always heard that using subs on the same Ip will get you banned.

Depends how you make it look like. If you make it look like a blog project or freehost it should be allright to have tons of subdomains and pages that all get indexed.

We have freehosts where users get http://subdomain.domain.com/ and all their pages get indexed and all get their own pr.
And we also have a blog system where users get http://theirname.blogdomain.com/ and also all their pages get indexed, and spidered very frequently (most blogs at least once a week).
All subdomains are on the same IP, so it can work, but probably it helps if you make it look like it's a blog network or freehost?

sandbox.

they're as good as sub dirs
its the content that matters tho.

well ill test something out today and seeh ow that goes

do it....

figured it out.. if u want to know, post it and ill answer

I have been doing that for the past 4 years, when does the sandbox thing happen? LOL

I cna't believe that someone would suggest that registering a new domain, and using a new hosting account, woulkd get you sandboxed on the se's...LOL...i would guesstimate that all those domains microsoft owns that link within each other will eventually be shot out of google because they are using shitty tactics to gain rankings? LOL...get real
