      Reverse Proxys - Lost On It's Purpose To Help Seo - read an article on seomoz check link below.

      When should we use this reverse proxy and is it really worth the trouble at all ?

      Why create subdomains vs subfolders when organizing different sections of the website ?

        A reverse proxy can be an alternative for sites that are unable to put their blog in a subfolder. If you currently have a blog in a subdomain, you can use a reverse proxy to essentially put it in a subfolder. From my understanding, using a reverse proxy can have some drawbacks though, such as performance/speed issues.

        Subdomain vs Subfolder

        Subfolder is the preferred method for sites that don't already have a ton of authority. All links pointing at the blog will strengthen the entire domain.

        Subdomain can be a useful technique for strong sites that can support essentially starting a new site. This can allow you to grab additional spots in the SERPs.

            Will link equity accrued on blog.domain.com be transferred to domain.com/blog after reverse proxy implementation?
