Couple questions regarding subdomains, redirects (please help!)
- SEO |
Obviously I am not naive enough to believe that anyone here "literally" knows google's code or anything, rather people who have had experience with the case in question.
I do not want to be a victim of your guys' speculation lol!
Ok, say that I have an authority website on cars. I am doing some offline marketing for over 100 car dealerships. I build them a website (a subdomain on my own website.) and have a link out to that subdomain on a sidebar in my homepage. I have a link to my homepage in their footer.
Can I assume that this will do just as well for the internal linking structure as a page on my site that also has a link to my homepage?
Also, if I had 1 million backlinks to my homepage, would that power distribute well to the 100 subdomain links I have on my page?
Would I be able to rank the clients pages well because of the 1 million backlinks? Or would it actually be more tough to rank one of those subdomains than simply a similar page on my site?
Another scenario. I have these subdomains for my clients' website, but those subdomains are simply 301 redirects to an actual tld for them. i.e. "usedcarsales.com"
So basically I have "morries.(my domain).com" and the only thing that page does is redirect to their website (usedcarsales.com).
If I backlink this 301 redirect page, will it help "usedcarsales.com" to rank well?
If so, would I be able to change the url that my subdomain redirects to? Say the client decides to leave my service, could I just simply change that redirect url to a competitors website to help them rank?
Would their be a difference using a link cloaker (a page 301 rather than a subdomain 301) vs a subdomain redirect?
Would this hurt my own domain's ranking in google? (penalize)
Hope I can get some answers, this info would certainly help me out!
