Post subject: How does Google define a separate site?
|
 |
|
Hello,
When Google is crawling and indexing sites, will it treat sub-domains seperately to the main domain?
For example, we have seperate websites on:
www.ourdmain.com
site2.ourdomain.com
site3.ourdomain.com
etc..
We are concerned that if we submit all of these sites to Google it will only index the main site and not the subdomains.
Can anyone clarify this please?
Thank you very much. |

Yes but it only matters in terms of the results pages. They will only list two pages from one site in a set of results but they treat sub-domains as separate sites so each sub-domain can get two listings.

Google doesn't crawl sites - it crawls pages. It finds pages via links. So, if the sub-domains have links pointing to them, Google will crawl them in the same way (and as quickly) as they would a page on your main site.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
