subdomain redirection question

[Abby]

Hi seo gurus if I create a subdomain and redirect it to a directory on my site, which one will get indexed by google.

the subbomain or directory, or both.

It depends how you re-direct it

If you use a 302 re-direct then google sees that as a "temporary" redirect and the original page will still be listed

However, if you use a 301 redirect then thats a permanent switch and google will index your new page and drop the old one

302 would be my choice

why do you want to do that why not use one or the other?

see what nude.com has done, any subdomain that is not an active one on the site redirects to the root of the domain, I think that is smart.

Use directories build up the back links to your domain.

Use directories build up the back links to your domain.

I have said it before, pages and folders on the domain do good for seo, subdomains are considered by Google as separate entities.

Totally agree. Its far better to have one big site with lots of pages, folders, backlinks and momentum than hundreds of little sites with little or no momentum.

As for the original question about re-directing your subdomains. I suggest you use a 301 so google will index the folder and not the subdomain

Subdomains are good if you want to present different language versions of your site for example. Or maybe seperate your blog from the main site but other than that, they really dont help your SEO efforts

Either use a subdomain or directory, redirecting them makes no sense to me
