Hey all, I am new to the whole IM thing and am starting out with a 0 investment. Found an awesome free sub domain host that works with wordpress (byethost), just curious if google will look down somewhat on a site hosted on a sub-domain?

Thanks guys, if it wasn't for this forum I wouldn't anywhere near as close to making money as I think I am now!

  • Do a Google search for "make money online" (very highly searched phrase)

    What is the very first site you see there? (as of June 20, 2010)

    That should answer your question

    • Nice, who woulda thought a free blog would be number 1
  • yep, I think it answers the question just fine, thank you .
  • That really isn't a free "hosting" site, more like a free "posting" site.

    I am not so sure a free 'hosting' company would rank so well, as I have never seen an example of that.

    The free places where you can create a site/blog though like blogspot/squidoo/hubpages/wordpress can and do rank highly though.

  • Not necessarily, but if the primary domain (and I don't know this about yours) is tagged by G00gle as undesirable, then your subdomain may be in for a rougher ride.

    I would check with this command=> site:domain.tld

    What subdomains are you seeing?

    If I see lots of sites like BigHardMan.Domain.TLD, red flag!

    I run away quick when I start seeing adult, viagra and spammy looking subdomains.
