URL and SEO

[Brandi Jo]

the more content you have under a domain the better. subdomains are for separating content for direct traffic. google will rarely pick up a subdomain for organic results.

and the info on the 301 redirect is a simple fix with most hosting companies. it's either a check mark under the redirect or a simple data input under domain redirect. i use wpengine for all wordpress sites. bluehost, gatorhost, dreamhost, etc just have a check box for the redirect - not a big to do.

all a 301 redirect does is take the traffic to one domain or the other.

Does Google really treat a subdomain as a different domain?

SEO Insight: The Purposes and Benefits of Using Subdomains

Any SEO value to having a page like this

medicare.mydomain.com

vs. this

mydomain.com/medicare

If so, how do you make a page that is medicare.mydomain.com?

It's called subdomain. You can search with key "subdomain".

So...If we have website domains (www.) and and they are not being redirected (I'll have to check), I guess that would not be good.

Ha. As a long-time Sixers fan, I remember him well. I think he had pretty bushy hair when he was playing.
