There seems to be some discussion lately on other forums as to how Google is looking at WordpressMU subdomains - several seem to think that Google is still looking at subdomains as separate websites EXCEPT when they are subdomains created by WPMU

Anyone here have any knowledge of any recent changes with the beloved big G??

Thanks -

    Hi Melody,
    From a Google/SEO point of view all links that come into a single TLD count towards the positioning of any one single page in the SERPs (site links as opposed to page links, although obviously inbound page links are the first priority). So, subdirectories will always be preferrable to subdomains as ALL incoming links to the site will count.

    Having said that, WPMU allows Top Level Domain mapping to individual blogs in Wordpress MU, which is then treated by Google as a totally different website, however, if you don't do any mapping, Google will try it as i explained in the first paragraph. Wordpress.com is a WPMU site as you probably know, and the blog pages are indexed according to they same scheme as any other Subdomain that belongs to its parent TLD.

    BTW, i think Wordpress 3.0 will have a huge impact on Internet Marketers for those that see the value in building a Niche community and then monetizing it with the many awesome monetization tools now available for Wordpress MU. I'm in the processs of writing a detailed report on this subject. PM me if you want more details.

    I hope this helps a bit.

      Do you want Rapid Mass Traffic to your website?
      Rapid Mass Traffic: 95,237 visitors in ONE day... here's how

      Body:

      [[jose zavala garcia]],
      Let me ask you something...
      What if I told you to STOP working day and night writing
      articles, posting blogs, setting up PPC campaigns, searching high
      and low for joint venture partners, creating videos ... and all
      the other back breaking and boring stuff?
      Would you think I'm crazy? I mean, how else is anyone going to
      find your website online? How else are you going to get traffic?
      Well not so long ago, a close friend of mine, Mo Latif did just
      that. He walked away and dropped everything.
      He stopped article marketing, blogging, SEO, link building,
      press releases, social bookmarking ... all the old 'traditional'
      marketing techniques everyone is talking about to this day.
      He stepped away from these tired and 'old' traffic generation
      methods, as he was sick of spending all his time at the keyboard.
      I'm sure you would rather travel, relax and enjoy your life ...
      wouldn't you?
      So why did he suddenly drop the ball? Why didn't he carry on
      doing what everybody else was doing?
      He found the truth, it's mind-blowing to be honest ...
      Let me explain...
      In the past he was generating around 250 visitors on a bad day.
      The problem was, no matter how hard he tried, the traffic was
      LIMTED!
      He wanted more, a lot more...
      The traffic levels would never go beyond a certain point. He
      used every trick in the book over the years, and even had staff
      working for him. But still, the traffic always hit a peak and
      just stayed there.
      It got worse too... Google would change their search engine
      algorithms *once again* and did you know they even started
      banning Adwords accounts for no apparent reason and without
      notice?
      This left him no choice but to start all over again ... however
      this time, it would be much harder, thanks to all the *NEW*
      hurdles and hoops Google is going to make us jump through.
      But did you know Google only accounts for 20% of the online
      traffic? What happened to the other 80%?
      For years, he spent all his time serving Google. Playing by
      their rules, not to forget Yahoo and Bing. A complete search
      engine puppet ... moulding his lame income around their greedy
      requirements.
      Hiring SEO experts, writers, paying for backlinks, social
      bookmarking, the works, just to keep up with their ever demanding
      and changing requirements ...
      ... in all this time, life passed him by, locked away in his
      home office, busting his back trying to get (and keep) traffic
      dribbling to websites.
      But NOT anymore as those days are over.
      He walked away being a traffic slave and developed a 3 step
      system which taps into that remaining 80% of online traffic that
      no one knows about. A traffic goldmine you absolutely must see
      for yourself if you want to survive online...
      = = > >
      (And no, it's not Facebook, Twitter or Myspace ... it's NOT
      about wasting your time trying to make friends with people so you
      can sell to them one day)
      And get this...
      He checked his traffic stats the other day and to my amazement
      this *NEW* unknown traffic source had generated 95,237 visitors
      in a single day ... and it didn't involve ANY of those tired old
      traffic methods you've been drowning in for so long.
      He did encounter a problem though ... he was sending TOO MUCH
      traffic to websites using nothing but an affiliate link! That's
      right ... NO website and guess what else ... ?
      The fulfillment people called him up and said stop whatever he
      was doing because they couldn't process the orders fast enough!
      Weirdos?!
      Read more about this in an exclusive report which shows you how
      he did it ...
      = = > >
      But that's not all...
      Some people might say ANYONE can get a lot of traffic, but
      targeted traffic is what pays the bills...right? Well, let me
      reassure you ... this secret traffic source helped generate
      $184,195 in ONE MONTH, just as an affiliate.
      Is that targeted enough for you?
      Listen ... forget hiring SEO experts, paying for overpriced
      Adword ads and giving huge chunks of each sale away to affiliates
      and JV partners...
      ... this system makes money so easily, it uses nothing but 3
      steps in any niche or market.
      = = > >
      Other people might say you need to be an expert, or have special
      connections. Honestly, they couldn't be further from the
      truth....
      You see, this was done without any partner traffic, without
      affiliates, without using existing traffic sources, without
      calling in any favours and without buying a website which already
      had traffic.
      And for the record, these 95,237 visitors didn't come from some
      SEO fluke, some expensive media buys, ad swaps or link building.
      It was like flipping on a switch, and almost as easy.
      Plus it's NOT complicated, NOT BlueFart, NOT hard work and
      certainly NOT *ILLEGAL*.
      Anyway the traffic from Dec 16th 2009 to Jan 15th 2010 was as
      low as, a pathetic 251 visits a day...
      ... and after pushing the button on the new traffic source, from
      Jan 16th to Feb 15th 2010 the visitors skyrocketed up to 95,237
      in a DAY! Make no mistake... that is a DAY. The proof is on the
      page.
      = = > >
      No Google. No Yahoo. No Bing. No slaps, no red tape, no SEO, no
      article writing ... none of the usual crap you've been fed in the
      past.
      So if you want the *underground* shortcut to getting TRUE server
      crushing traffic, then I strongly suggest you learn it from this
      f.ree report before he takes it down:
      = = > >
      And here's something else you should know...
      A guy doing 'adhoc jobs' on a FARM used the 3 step system and
      guess what ... ?
      He went on to generate $1.2 million AND create a list of over
      66,000 subscribers.
      Crazy? Yes. Impossible? Heck no...
      Consider this ... if a total newbie, a farm boy with no
      experience or skill sets can make that kind of money and success
      with this, then so can you. In fact, I'm already guessing you're
      more experienced and smarter than he is.
      There's a reason why the 'usual' traffic methods don't work
      anymore ... because every man and his dog is hammering it all day
      long. Everyone is undercutting the competition, working longer
      hours, hiring more staff ... it's a blood bath out there.
      So my advice is simple...
      Walk away from it all, before you get sucked dry to the bone and
      go mentally insane. Don't get caught up in their vicious cycle
      and spend the next 5 years hoping things will get better ...
      because the truth is, it's only going to get tougher and tougher
      if you stand still and follow the sheep.
      Download this f.ree report, click the link below and get ready
      for a *new* future ... a future with no rules, hardly *any*
      competition and without spending years stuck in front of the
      screen trying to figure it out ...

    Hello,

    Wordpress Mu is better treated in google compared to others. I don't think wordpress Mu is treated as tlds. One of my blog has ranked easily for a tough keyword which is hosted on MU because it will increase little or more the keyword density in the url itself. Some people might say the url word is not an issue but infact related url will definitely have some effect at the seo.
