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.

Redirect multiple domains to 1 domain or not?
Hi there, I have client who has multiple domains that already have some PA and DA. Problem is that most websites have the same content and rank better on different keywords.
Technical SEO | | Leaf-a-mark
I want to redirect all the websites to 1 domain because it’s easier to manage and it removes any duplicate content. Question is if I redirect domain x to domain y do the rankings of domain x increase on domain y? Or is it better to keep domain x separately to generate more referral traffic to domain y? Thanks in advance! Cheers0 -

New domain's Sitemap.xml file loaded to old domain - how does this effect SEO?
I have a client who recently changed their domain when they redesigned their site. The client wanted the old site to remain live for existing customers with links to the new domain. I guess as a workaround, the developer loaded the new domain's sitemap.xml file to the old domain. What SEO ramifications would this have if any on the primary (new) domain?

How to block google robots from a subdomain

The live site URL is www.site.com, working preview version is www.site.edit.com The contents on both are almost identical I want to block the preview version (www.site.edit.com) from Google Robots, so that they don't penalize me for duplicated content.

Old Domain - What to do?
A client recently bought an older domain that is keyword-rich to an aspect of his company. The main website has both e-commerce and call-to-action elements. Our team is split on whether or not to create a micro-site on that domain focused on that aspect of the work that he does or to simply redirect the old domain to his main website. I have not had the opportunity to look at the link profile of the recently acquired domain nor do I have any idea of how many times it's changed hands (which would seem to now be a possible indicator of doorway pages). If any clarification would help, please let me know and I'll do my best to answer.

Internal linking to subdomains
Hi *, I have a main site called example.org, and a lot of user generated pages to foo.example.org / bar.example.org and so on. Most of those pages link back to example.org. In example.org I have a page that links to all subdomains. How can I optimize the pagerank of the list page? Should I add nofollow to subdomain sites to avoid passing link juice to those sites and keep normal linking from subdomain sites?
