Sub domain vs. Redirect url question

Hello there. May i ask for opinion again please. :-)

My client has a new ecommerce site - subdomain (http://xxx.clientsite.mothercompany(dot)com) and he has a redirected url (http://xxx.clientsite(dot)com).

Will there be a difference if i use the redirected url instead - so we will not give away immediately the name of the mother company (source of goodies)?

What do you think? Thanks guys!

    Someone asked Matt Cutts once if it was ok to use a lot of 301s in a backlink profile.

    e.g. sometimes SEO companies will do this -- so that they can "angle" their links at the paying customers.

    He laughed briefly and said he didn't think that would appear natural.

    But it is a very common thing to see. e.g. major companies rebrand all the time.

    So, if the two companies were legit, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    But if you keep building to a domain - with the intent of always redirecting, i'd think you should consider changing that policy eventually.
