My question is. If I have a few subdomain matt.blah.com john.blah.com ect ect, and they are unrelated will promoting matt.blah.com/1.html be hurt because john.blah.com has nothing to do with matt.blah.com and also if blah.com is completely unrelated will google get confused and see it all as one site thats all over the place? Sorry if this is hard to follow but I want to promote each post on the blog but I don't want just 5 backlinks for matt.blah.com/1.html and 5 backlinks for matt.blah.com/2.html I want 10 backlinks for matt.blah.com

    I get what you are saying and from what I understand subdomains are ranked individually so it shouldn't be an issue but maybe someone with experience can give us a sure fire answer. I asked something regarding subdomains earlier today and from what I understood they were just perfectly fine to be different topics.

    You can make subdomains with different content on each of them. It will not hurt your SEO. Each subdomain considers as a new domain in google. So if you have different subdomains with no relation or similarity with each other then it is not a problem. Just make subdomains add articles and promote them.
    Hope this will help.

      1.html is NOT subdomain. Everything that comes after the example.com/ is either a file or a subfolder (subdirectory).

      something.example.com/whatever/this-is-a-file.html
      subdomain | domain | subfolder | file

    using subdomains should be no problem for seo, look at about.com its a authority site built on subdomains

    but its also an authority site because it serves unique and relevant content

    from my testing it don't matter to Google how you have your site setup as long as the end goal is to give the visitor a good experience but if you try to game them all I can say good luck
