Sub pages Vs subdomain Pagerank flow.

[tommytai]

I Have Question about Pagerank flow:
If ihave a site :domain.com and i have 2 solutions like:
Solution #1:

Quote:

| domain.com/blog and domain.com/video if i try to do :
Root domain only link to
domain.com/video and
domain.com/blog |

Solution #2:

Quote:

| Root domain only link to
video.domain.com and
blog.domain.com |

So <acronym title="Google PageRank">Pr</acronym> domain.com/blog = <acronym title="Google PageRank">Pr</acronym> blog.domain.com ?
and <acronym title="Google PageRank">PR</acronym> domain.com/video = <acronym title="Google PageRank">Pr</acronym> video.domain.com ?

And don't know why a subdomain of blogspot or Wordpress ranking easier than a new domain like:keyword.wordpress.com and keyword.com

So What Wordpress pass to keyword.wordpress.com ?

[tommytai]

so if i start a new subdomain of Wordpress.Do i benefit anything from Root domain?

Something like:Mozrank,Trust Rank?

If you have a good Link building a new blog of Blogger.com will ranking faster than a new domain .i tested.

I mean i don't know exactly What MEtric flow pass to Subdomain and Sub pages?

Subdomains are likely to be treated more like their own website as compared to a folder.

Ex) keyword.wordpress.com vs wordpress.com/keyword. The subdomain is likely to not be as closely related to the root domain as compared to the folder.

And don't know why a subdomain of blogspot or Wordpress ranking easier than a new domain like:keyword.wordpress.com and keyword.com

There's a lot of factors at work here. It's very difficult to tell why one would be ranking better than the other without seeing the pages. It's likely that it has nothing to do with the being a subdomain at wordpress.com. Technically they should be treated very similar.

I hope that helps,

Hi Tai,

I would prefer sub-folders, as I have understood the PR flow better to sub-folders than to sub-domains.

Here are a few useful resources:
