Subdomain or no subdomain ? About location of a special page on the site

[ksbnok]

I have a blog on interior decoration and I have made a Wordpress Plugin which is not at all related to the niche of my blog...I have created this plugin in the hope that I might get backlinks due to this...but am not sure whether I should keep the plugin documentation page on some page of the blog itself like www.example.com/blog/plugin-page/ or on some subdomain like plugin-page.example.com

Hello,

If its not related to your blog I wouldn't put it under the blog URL, however since you're hoping to get links to your site from this plugin in hopes that it will increase your PA, DA, PR then I would not recommend putting into a subdomain as thats where all the link juice will end up. if you will leave it on your main domain then that's where the link juice will go...

Probably best way would be: www.mydomain.com/plugin

Hope this helps!

Totally agree with Igor

Definitely use a subfolder if the intention is to gain backlinks

You might want to check out a whiteboard friday that Rand did a while ago that covers the merits of using subdomain and subfolders

Shashank, does it make sense for you to have the plugin link to your personal site (if you have one) and then you could have a portfolio page that links to your website. In my opinion, that makes a little bit more sense. Think about it: XYZ Wordpress Plugin by Shashank Shekhar Mishra or XYZ Wordpress Plugin by Interior Design Blog.com You know what I mean. And definitely a sub-folder, not a sub-domain.
