Subdomain mozTrust - does other parkd domains can affect that ?
-
Hi , I have my domain www.mydomain.com and it have dpmain authority 26 , domain mozRank around 3 , domain mozTrust 1.63 , page authority 31, Google PR 2.0 etc etc So I am not in very bottom of scores, but my SUBDOMAIN MOZTRUST is only 0.961 and I've checked other websites that I've made some time ago and they have it like 4.0. So it is quite bad.
I am having some domain parked within my hosting package. they have different names like www.mydomain2.co.uk , www.mydomain3.com etc.
I can acces those domains as wel by typing :
mydomain2.mydomain.com mydomain3**.mydomain.com**
and have some testing subdomains there as well (just if I need to test something like drupal , wordpress or testing shoping cart etc.)
Can that fact affect my subdomain rank ? Because I am having those domains parked there or I've made some subdomains that are not in use and nobody is linking to them and they are visible in Google ?

Many thanks for all answers ! That will help me to understand my problem more.

The important thing to realize about subdomain MozTrust is it only applies to your "www" subdomain. The metrics for your root domain (example.com) will likely be higher.
It's likely that not a lot of authority sites have linked to you using "www" in the link. It's usually a small distinction, but it can make a difference.
"Can that fact affect my subdomain rank ? Because I am having those domains parked there or I've made some subdomains that are not in use and nobody is linking to them and they are visible in Google ?"
No, no worries. This won't effect your MozTrust
As Robert said, MozTrust is raised by getting sites with high MozTrust to link to you. Hard work, but well worth it.

With mozTrust, it is really about the links you have coming to that sub domain. If they are from Wikipedia, a well known news source, three large teaching hospitals, SEOmoz, etc. then you are going to have a very high mozTrust. If, you are parking subdomains and then linking to them this will obviously cause a lower score as those domains have nothing linked to them and have no reason to be trusted.
If you are going out getting lots of low end links, the mozTrust will be low. So, the key to higher mozTrust is higher quality links.

Two Domains for the Same Page
We are creating a website for a client that will have hundreds of geographically driven landing pages. These pages will all have a similar domain structure. For example www.domain.com/georgia-atlanta-fastfood-121 We want the domain to be SEO friendly, however it also needs to be print friendly for a business card. (ex www.domain.com/121) The client has requested that we have two domains for each page. One for the Search Engines and then another shorter one for print/advertising purposes. If we do that will search engines the site for duplicate content? I really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks! Anna

301 Redirect for 3 Domains into 1 New Domain
So I wanted a quick sanity check on the htaccess syntax for migrating 3 domains into 1 new domain. For example, we're migrating 3 sites abc.com, def.com and ghi.com, all into 1 new site on ghi.com. Here's the htaccess we're placing on the root of ghi.com: redirect 301 http://www.abc.com/wines.html http://www.ghi.com/wines redirect 301 http://www.def.com/trade.html http://www.ghi.com/trade

redirect 301 http://www.ghi.com/winery-tours.html http://www.ghi.com/visit/taste On the DNS side of things, we're parking abc.com and def.com on the ghi.com server. I'm not seeing examples of htaccess files for this scenario, and none that use any domain info on the "from" side of the redirect 301 syntax. Any suggestions before we pull the trigger? Thanks!0 -
Different domains
Firstly apologies for the very brief question as I am mainly looking for your thoughts as opposed to specific help about a specific problem. I am working on a site which has two sepreate domains and within one domain, two sub domains. The two different sites both havea high page rank, PR6 each, one is the corporate site and the other is the company blog. There are also two sub domains within the corporate site, again both domains have high pr and tons of content. My question is would it be better to consolidate all the assets under one domain or is it better to keep the sites sepreate, from an seo perspective that is.

My domain does not come in the search results, what do I do?
Hi, I have a website called www.bollykings.com It had a pretty solid rank on google for a number of keywords but 4-5 months back, it was badly affected by the Panda update. Now it comes nowhere. I have started updating and posting new articles on it since the last two months. When I search for "bollykings" on Google.com, website does not come only in the first 40 results. What could this mean?

Robots.txt for subdomain
Hi there Mozzers! I have a subdomain with duplicate content and I'd like to remove these pages from the mighty Google index. The problem is: the website is build in Drupal and this subdomain does not have it's own robots.txt. So I want to ask you how to disallow and noindex this subdomain. Is it possible to add this to the root robots.txt: User-agent: *

How to 301 multiple domain names to a single domain
Hey, I tried to find and answer to this seemingly simple question, but no luck. So, I have one domain name with a website attached to it. I also registered all the other domain names that are similar to it or have different extensions - I want to redirect all the other domain names to my one main domain name without getting penalised by the big G. It looks like this: www.mainsite.com - this is my main domain I also have www.mainsite.com.au, www.mainsite.org, and www.mainsite.org.au which I all want to just redirect to www.mainsite.com I have been told that the best way to do this is a 301 redirect, but to do that you need to make a CNAME for all the other domains that points to www.mainsite.com. My problem is that I cannot seem to create a CNAME record for http://mainsite.com - I have it working for http://www.mainsite.com but not the non www record. What should I be doing differently? Is it just my DNS provider is useless? Thanks, Anthony
