    Hi !
    Im Levi new here and new in the world of SEO, please dont judge if my questions are silly.

    Back on the days when the site was built we thought it is a good ideea to have subdomains that together with the domain name represent our main keywords.
    ex. https://stansted.tonorwich.uk, https://heathrow.tonorwich.uk, https://luton.tonorwich.uk, https://gatwick.tonorwich.uk.

    There is content on this subdomains, would it make any difference from SEO perspective if we create slugs that redirect to these subdomains? for example creating https://tonorwich.uk/taxi-minibus-vip-tesla-norwich-to-stansted that redirects to https://stansted.tonorwich.uk ? Or better create these slugs with slightly different content?
    Any ideeas would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

      @Leviiii actually if you are solely creating slugs that redirect to the subdomains, then there is little value in this action? Would be better off just having the subdomains linked from your main domain directly. Better for both users and search crawlers.

      Alternatively, if your slugs have different content and then you can link to the corresponding subdomain. *Note that its a normal href link and not a redirection. If you are worried about content duplication or keyword cannibalisation when doing this, can simply point a canonical tag over from the subpage to the subdomain.

        The first option displays the same content on one URL as it does on another. For example, if you recently changed your domain to DomainB but still have a large number of visitors to DomainA, you could use this to show them all of the existing content that is located on the new domain without having to update both websites.

            Unsolved Why Did My Site's DA Go Down After Adding New Links?

            domain authority link building website optimization

            Hi Moz Community, I've noticed my website's DA https://clean4u.org fell from 12 to 11 after adding a few links. I thought these were quality links, so I'm puzzled about the drop. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows why this could happen? Any advice or insight would be great! Thanks!

            Unsolved Links to my website are wrong

            domain authority link building link building whitehat

            Hi, I have launch a new website, lorraine on october of 2021 and I have added it to a bunch a local and national directories to improme it local rankings. But when I get the domain authority and link data from MOZ it has only ten links and no one of them is from local/national directories. I have three questions: Do you know if it is normal that after 9 months DA is 1? Is there any problem with local/national directory links? I dont like buy links like others do but it seems the only way to improve domain authority and rankings.

            Unsolved Anyone else finding that the Link Intersection tool is not accurate?

            link building link tracking list link intersect tool

            I ran the Link Intersect tool on my site vs competitor's site. The first 3 domains it tells me the competitor has links from but I do not are: medium.com, behance.net, and moz.com. I thought this was odd because I know for a fact I built profiles with a link on all 3 sites. So, I went to all 3 and found my links on these sites. I also double-checked in the Google search console and they show up there. Am I understanding the tool wrong? Is it really showing me sites we both have vs what I don't have?

            Redirecting dofollow, high-domain-authority links from one site to another: good idea?

            I have two sites that offer help for freelance writers. The first gets almost no search traffic and is very low priority for me. The second is my main priority and gets substantial search traffic. The low-priority site has a significant number of dofollow backlinks from high-domain-authority sites. Is it a good idea to 301 redirect these links to similar/related posts on my high-priority site? Would this potentially boost the SEO of my high-priority site? Thanks for any help!

            I have a lot of backlinks ending with .xyz, around 20%, and they look very suspicious. Should I disavow these? Here are a few: yourrelicsbargains.xyz fantasticsiteinfo.xyz yourvintagelifestyle.xyz usefuldiscount4u.xyz bestdealsaction.xyz bestmemorabilialifestyle.xyz 59177.net lovecollectorsbargains.xyz

            Are links with space considered to be the same as links with %20?

            I wonder if Google would consider those three links to be the same? http://www.example.com/test page.html http://www.example.com/test page.html http://www.example.com/test+page.html

            Does the ratio of external nofollow links to external "do follow" links matter in terms of SERPs ranking?

            My site has an external link nofollow:dofollow ratio of approximately 1:1 That is, there are about as many nofollow external links as "do follow" external links. I have an impression that the ratio of no-follow to "do follow" links is a factor in the way that our website shows up in SERPs. I have the impression from reading a variety of sources, and from looking at Seomoz, that calculate "trust" factors as if they mattered (in SERPs), that seem to value a relatively low nofollow:dofollow ratio. Am I correct about that? Thanks,
            Tim PS - I don't know whether or not this matters, but our website is at: www.trustworthycare.com - Tim
