Intuit Website Hosting - Stand-Alone Webite?
-
Hi all!
My name is Yehuda and I'm new to this community. There's an issue i'm having trouble with:
My site is hosted by Intuit Websites, and I use their Website Builder. Though it has its own domain name, it seems my "site" may just be a subdomain of their intuitwebsites.com website. I'm trying to figure out if my site is actually a stand-alone website, and what ramifications/issues there be in terms of bot crawling & SEO.
Does anyone have a thought on this?

Hey man, thanks for the answer!
If I may, I'd like to get a better understanding of your input:
When you say SEO is easier with Wordpress, do you mean there are specific tweaks/actions I will be able to do that I will not have access to with my other host? Or can the same things be done, but it will be a little more challenging to accomplish them?
I hope I am making sense. I've already invested alot of time into my site with Intuit, and it will be difficult to start over from scratch with a new host so I am hoping to be able to keep what I have. I'm willing to put up with a system that's less efficient as long as at the end of the day I have the same control over the optimizing process.
(Either way i will be using a "drag & drop" editor because i am not proficient in HTML. I'm seeking to develop SEo-type skills without necessarily learning full website HTML building abilities, if that's possible.)
Your feedback is appreciated!

I personally would swap to Wordpress, you will have better scope and development and SEO is easier. It would be easier to buy your own domain and find a host with Wordpress instant installer .

What website changes (technical) SEOs can ignore confidently? Google's perspective!
Hi community members, I am looking after SEO at our company and there are lots of changes happening about our website; especially technical changes. It's hard for me to look after every deployment of the website like change of server location, etc. We generally agree that every change related to website must be notified by SEO to understand the ranking fluctuation and how search engines welcome them. I just wonder what technical deployments of a website I could confidently ignore to save time and give a go ahead to technical team without interrupting or waiting for my approval. Thanks

Website spread over two domains - The Good,The Bad and the Ugly ?
Hi, I am wondering if the way I have set up our website site is creating more harm than good ? All our SEO efforts and content is located @ www.sparrowmakeup.com.au however our portfolio is located at www.make-up-artists.com.au. Questions ? Will Analytic bounce rates effect my SERP, as most people click on the portfolio link in the first 5-15 sec of landing on our page ?? Is there a better way of setting it up ? the reason I set it up like this in the first place was because we wanted a different look/theme for the portfolio. (using WP) Is there any other issues that this setup might have in the SEO / SERP department ?? Is there any benefits and how can I maximize on them (silver lining) Your help and experience is greatly appreciated. Regards Ed
