Let's say I have the following subdomain to my root (mydomain.com): blog.mydomain.com.
Does Google treat the subdomain separately from the root from an SEO perspective?
Is it better to use mydomain.com/blog so that I'm optimizing my root page?
Is there an best-practice RoR approach to rectifying sub-optimization issues presented by the use of subdomains?
SEO is pretty complicated and changes all the time.
A subdomain will generally be treated as a separate domain for SEO purposes. So whether to place it in a subdirectory or not depends on your overall SEO goals.

I'm looking at a site that ranks #1 in google for some keywords. I looked over the code of the sites that link to them using ahrefs.com and I came upon something interesting that I don't understand:
For siteA1, they have 5 or more pages (shipping, terms & conditions, sitemap etc) that link back to the web design firm that did their site. EX: siteA1.webdesignfirmSiteB.com/sitemap and this 301 redirects to siteA1.com/sitemap.
For another site siteA2, they have a lot of links that do the same thing. EX: siteA2.webdesignfirmSiteB.com/blue-widgets/ 301 redirects to siteA2.com/blue-widgets/
Is this cheating the ranks?
This is probably left over from when the site was being developed. It is quite common to have sitename.webdesign.com and then once the site goes live just 301 redirect all to the "proper" name.
I don't know if there are more reasons than that, but the above is common practice.

I have an existing website pointed to by the domain www.xyz.com . We are now creating a new sub-site to this www.xyz.com/ab/. We have another regional domain www.abc.rg purchased and we want to point this domain to the /ab/ sub-folder.
The queries are:
If I want to do this at the DNS level is it going to be an issue in terms of SEO?
If I do so how can I add Google tracking to it? I want to continue using my existing tracking for www.xyz.com and provide reports separately for www.abc.rg.

What do you think about copying our content (text content especially) from our main site (eg: mysite.com) to mobile site (eg: m.mysite.com OR mysite.com/m). What is the SEO side effects of doing this? Does SEO experts recommends this or not?
If you have external articles or reference, hope you guys can share here also. :)
Thank you.
This is Google's official stance on mobile SEO
Google has a separate spider for mobile content. If you copy mainsite to m.yoursite.com, it works best and your domain authority will just get transfered. No dupe content penalty.

I need to know the best configuration for Robots Meta. That is a wordpress plugin for seo.
index, follow is probably the setting that makes the most sense if you want as many of your pages indexed as possible. Also, you probably want to prevent indexing of administration pages. That said, you will probably have to read the documentation of the plugin in order to choose the settings that suits your web site best.
I found Platinum SEO Pack it's the best plugin for seo for wordpress

Am I creating competitors for my site by creating subdoamins... becos Google treats subdomains as individual domains... so, am I going to create/build competitors for my website....
I want to go for subdomains.. please explain me the drawbacks and at the same time advantages of having subdomains...
One more question... subfolders are mostly used for blogs... but why the wordpress, blogspot has taken subdomains like if I create any blog then in wordpress it would appear like http://www.health.wordpress.com... so why it has taken subdomain...???
Am I creating competitors for my site
by creating subdoamins
It doesnt matter if it is subdomain or main domain. Unless you have very good content and good hits you are not creating a competition.
but why the wordpress, blogspot has
taken subdomains like if I create any
blog then in wordpress it would appear
like
http://www.health.wordpress.com... so
why it has taken subdomain...???
