I have currently setup archive.mydomain.com and forums.mydomain.com and mydomain.com. For SEO reasons, I would like these accessible as mydomain.com/archive and mydomain.com/forums. I could just copy everything into one document_root, but I feel this would be quite messy and half the reason I archived the old website off in the first place. I tried using mod_proxy but it didn't quite work as I wanted, as none of the images worked. I guess to the end-user, and Google it should be mydomains.com/forums, but internally, PHP would see forums.mydomain.com. Does this make sense, and can anyone help? -------------------- http://www.thinkbikes.com

What reasons would they be then? Page Rank is on a per-page basis so adding those pages to your main domain should make no difference. So you want to keep the subdomains and setup subfolders on your main domain too? Duplicating your content like that could be worse for SEO than keeping things the way they are. -------------------- QUOTE(benbramz @ Aug 17 2007, 07:44 AM) Ive noticed that quite a few people are now adding quotes from the board into their signature. I think its started an new web-radiance craze.. :P

A friend of mine at a large publication was strongly encouraged by a Google Engineer not to use a subdomain but instead to use a folder. I don't want the content duplicated really, I just want the archives moved to mydomain.com/archives - but I don't want to have to go in an internally adjust all the code. -------------------- http://www.thinkbikes.com

Yes, i can imagine, because a subdomain is classed as a seperate site to the index (for example, test.webradiance.com would be indexed as a differnt site to webradiance.com) QUOTE (Spode @ Jun 2 2008, 10:42 AM) I don't want the content duplicated really, I just want the archives moved to mydomain.com/archives - but I don't want to have to go in an internally adjust all the code. I'm afraid this seems the best option though. If your using an editor like textmate or dreamweaver a site wide replace would fix those issues. Put all your content on your main domain and you WILL see a great differnce in your SERPS. -------------------- QUOTE (Sirkent @ Sep 21 2007, 09:26 AM) <monty python high-pitched female voice>I DON'T LIKE SPAM!</monty python high-pitched female voice>

Thinking about it - if I just move everything into the /archives folder, then I can setup some aliases in my apache configuration for the folders - that way my domain relative links will still work -------------------- http://www.thinkbikes.com
