What if it is just a sales page like salespage.wordpress.com

Those things have nothing to do with each other.

If you built a blogspot your sub-domain wouldn't have anything to do with the root domain (PR9) as far as SEO. Same goes for any other sub-domain.

Good luck with a sales page on a Wordpress sub-domain, odds are it will get deleted.

Thanks

Depends what you mean by 'bunch of links' pointing to it. Any page will get slapped no matter what the domain's authority is if you just blast junk at it. If you have links from that page pointing to your site, there's less risk of your site itself getting slapped. Although been reading lately about possible penalties filtering down to your site as well. All in all, I think that blasting nonsensical links has finally seen an end with penguin 2.1.

From below list which would rank better assuming similiar content, backlinks to the actual page

pr9site.com/product-page
my-product-page.pr9site.com
my-product-page.pr9site.com/product-page
my-product-page.com (new domain)

I would think they will rank in the above order. Do you agree?

Are you saying that Wordpress does not allow any sales pages on subdomains? Are they specifically prohibited?

Thanks

The structure of the URL doesn't matter for ranking a page, with that being said, don't create random text or have URLs a mile long.

I'm saying the free Wordpress sub-domains don't like advertising, try blogspot If you need a free host. Word of caution for a having a blogspot site, don't comment on any blogspot outside of your Google/Blogger account. Blogger will delete spammy sites.

Yukon,
Thank you for your comments.

I understand the structure of url will not matter for ranking. What i was trying to say is, will it be better/safer to send links and therefore get better rankings to options 1-3 above since they are on high pr domain?

Thanks

Your not getting a link on wordpress.com pointing to any page on the sub-domain (mygreatsite.wordpress.com).

There's no connection between your sub-domain & the root domain (wordpress.com) as far as SEO goes.

That sub-domain might as well be mygreatsite.com.

If i understand correctly you are saying Google treats subdomain as a separate entity from main domain. But in terms of penalties will it penalize the subdomain even if main domain is ok?

Another idea. Which one will rank better same backlinks?

similiar-to-clickbank-pr6.com/my-product

OR

my-product-pr1.com

Thanks

I've read how this is true that Google treats the subdomain as a new site. On sites like Squidoo, you get a page rather than a subdomain. On Hubpages you get your own subdomain. And, that was done originally by Hubpages to help clean up it's site so that if there was spammy content then the subdomain would be penalized but the main site would still rank high. So yes in this situation the blogger subdomain would get a penalty.

By sending links i mean web 2.0, profiles etc.
Will Google not penalize the url with bad backlinks if its located on high pr domain for example
my-product-page.pr9site.com/product-page

Never build your business at a third party platform. You never know when it will get deleted.

I know what you mean about third party platform.

But the whole point is and the question that is outstanding is whether Google will penalize a URL on high pr domain that has low quality links pointing to it?

Basically assuming same exact links, which one will rank better???

pr9site.com/some-product.html

OR

some-product-pr1.com

You won't get any major benefit by using blogger or Wordpress if you are then spamming backlinks to it. But if you use these sites as a way to provide useful information and then gain relevant backlinks from related sites, that could be a different story and then your site won't get penalized.

I seriously doubt it, how can a third party platform is given more importance over true ones.
You can never be sure if your site is going to be there for longer period of time.

and as the google penalty goes, you can't see it coming, you know about it when it strikes.
