Crawler issues on subdomain - Need resolving?
-
Hey Guys,
I'm fairly new to the world of SEO and have a ton of crawler issues with a friends website I'm doing some work on.
After Moz did a site crawl I'm getting loads of errors (Total of 100+ for critical crawler, content and meta data). Most of these are due to broken social links on a subdomain - so my question is do I need to resolve all of the errors even if they are on a sub-domain? Will it affect the primary website?
Thanks,
Jack

please clarify, what CMS do you use?

In that case, you will need to check your configuration, because as I mentioned the behavior of one should not affect the second one.
As I remember Moz use Google Analytics to set up your Moz Pro Account, so you should check both configurations (MOZ and GA) to found the error.
**Good Luck **

Hi Roman,
Thanks for your response, so the website that's showing broken links is http://blog.primarydomain.com
and primary website is https://primarydomain.com/
As you have both said above I guess it won't affect the primary but it still bugs me!
Thanks,
Jack

1-My first question is why Moz is crawling a subdomain, usually, a subdomain is treated as an independent website. As an example take this 2 option blog.mywebsite.com/ andmywebsite.com/ this2 are a domain and a subdomain, Google Analytics, Moz, Search Console will see these ones as 2 independent websites so the error on one site will not affect second one

I have multiple URLs that redirect to the same website. Is this an issue?
I have multiple URLs that all lead to the same website. Years ago they were purchased and were sitting dormant. Currently they are 301 redirects and each of the URLs feed to different areas of my website. Should I be worried about losing authority? And if so, is there a better way to do this?

Blog on subdomain of e-commerce site
Hi guys. I've got an e-commerce site which we have very little control over. As such, we've created a subdomain and are hosting a WordPress install there, instead. This means that all the great content we're putting out (via bespoke pages on the subdomain) are less effective than if they were on the main domain. I've looked at proxy forwarding, but unfortunately it isn't possible through our servers, leaving the only option I can see being permenant redirects... What would be the best solution given the limitations of the root site? I'm thinking of wildcard rewrite rules (eg. link site.com/blog/articleTitle to blog.site.com/articleTitle) but I'm wondering if there's much of an SEO benefit in doing this? Thanks in advance for everyone's help 🙂

Does a subdomain benefit from being on a high authority domain?
I think the title sums up the question, but does a new subdomain get any ranking benefits from being on a pre-existing high authority domain. Or does the new subdomain have to fend for itself in the SERPs?

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?
