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...???
Its just their way of implementation. BTW this is not programming realted. So voted to close.

I have a site and a blog as subdomain. The both are indexed on google, however, when I search for my domain, the blog and site are displayed separately. I'd like to show them "aggregated" way.
For example, attached has the result of stackoverflow searching on google. The picture has the main site and under it, some pages as Questions, Jobs, Java, etc.
How can I set my blog under my main site?
Regards
those are called site links and are quto generated by google if links on your website are evaluated as important

I am a founder for a tech summer camp program. My website has a page full of resources for web-development meant for camp participants and has been getting lots of traffic from people querying html colors, css cheat sheet, and other similar terms.
My question is: will traffic from these terms hurt my SEO for queries involving things like summer camps,tech camps halifax, or other more related queries? or Is any traffic good for my SEO?
Note: We have no problem with people accessing these resources, so I haven't bothered to password protect it or add robots.txt or anything. The site is compcamp.ca and the resource page I mentioned is compcamp.ca/web-development-design-resources/
Google ranks the site compcamp.ca/web-development-design-resources/ well for search-queries like css cheat-sheet, because the content of your site contains the keywords and so on.
There are no Keywords for "tech camps halifax" and so on. So Google won't rank this subsite.
If you want to rank fpr "tech camps halifax" you have to take content on a site (i would expect the start page) which contains those keywords.
The other way round: Successful search queries on your cheat-sheet sub-site won't hurt your rankings from other sub-pages which delivers different information = different keywords.
I hope this is answering your question, don't bother to ask if not.

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.

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.

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.
