subdomains and sandbox

deezin · 09-19-2005, 10:23 AM

I am looking for advice on subdomains in relation to google. I have a PR6 site that is relatively popular. I have created a subtopic related to the topic of the site and want to create a subdomain for it. Will the subdomain get sandboxed and if so is it for a shorter amount of time? Also...would it be smart to point a new domain towards the subdomain?

Thank you.

Why would Google sandbox a current un-sandboxed site? Your subdomain is just a subdomain, not a new site, so no, it won't be sandboxed. It's the same as adding new pages to your website.
Smart to create a new domain for the subdomain? No. If you do so, that new domain will get into Google's sandbox.

yes - your subdomain will get 1 less PR than that of the page pointing to it - and it will get indexed by G.

NO, only new domain will get sandbox

Thank you for both of your answers!! As for pointing the domain at the subdomain...this won't be looked at as kind of a doorway page or will it just be looked at as a redirect?

Thanks!
