Thanks for the advise Carson!

Hi Nakul,

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry I wasn't a little more specific in my initial question. Anyhow our secure site is not at all the same as our public site. The secure site is used by our customers to access their accounts and use our applications. An example would be a click-to-call. If one of our customers uses our click to call service on every page of their website, then we will have several links from that customer's site back to our secure site. My concern is that this could be negatively impacting our public site since both use the same root domain.

Any thoughts on whether or not this could be a problem?

Thanks again for your help!

Hi,

I work for a SaaS company which uses two different subdomains on our site. A public for our main site (which we want to rank in SERPs for), and a secure subdomain, which is the portal for our customers to access our services (which we don't want to rank for) .

Recently I realized that by using our product, our customers are creating large amounts of low quality links to our secure subdomain and I'm concerned that this might affect our public subdomain by bringing down the overall Authority of our root domain.

Is this a legitimate concern? Has anyone ever worked through a similar situation?

any help is appreciated!
