      Hi , I have my domain www.mydomain.com and it have dpmain authority 26 , domain mozRank around 3 , domain mozTrust 1.63 , page authority 31, Google PR 2.0 etc etc So I am not in very bottom of scores, but my SUBDOMAIN MOZTRUST is only 0.961 and I've checked other websites that I've made some time ago and they have it like 4.0. So it is quite bad.

      I am having some domain parked within my hosting package. they have different names like www.mydomain2.co.uk , www.mydomain3.com etc.

      I can acces those domains as wel by typing :

      mydomain2.mydomain.com mydomain3**.mydomain.com**

      and have some testing subdomains there as well (just if I need to test something like drupal , wordpress or testing shoping cart etc.)

      Can that fact affect my subdomain rank ? Because I am having those domains parked there or I've made some subdomains that  are not in use and nobody is linking to them and they are visible in Google ?

        With mozTrust, it is really about the links you have coming to that sub domain. If they are from Wikipedia, a well known news source, three large teaching hospitals, SEOmoz, etc. then you are going to have a very high mozTrust. If, you are parking subdomains and then linking to them this will obviously cause a lower score as those domains have nothing linked to them and have no reason to be trusted.

        If you are going out getting lots of low end links, the mozTrust will be low. So, the key to higher mozTrust is higher quality links.

          The important thing to realize about subdomain MozTrust is it only applies to your "www" subdomain. The metrics for your root domain (example.com) will likely be higher.

          It's likely that not a lot of authority sites have linked to you using "www" in the link. It's usually a small distinction, but it can make a difference.

          "Can that fact affect my subdomain rank ? Because I am having those domains parked there or I've made some subdomains that  are not in use and nobody is linking to them and they are visible in Google ?"

          No, no worries. This won't effect your MozTrust

          As Robert said, MozTrust is raised by getting sites with high MozTrust to link to you. Hard work, but well worth it.
