      Hi, my client use a recruiting management tool called njoyn.com. The url of his site look like: www.example.njoyn.com.

      Would it increase his ranking if I use this Url above that point to njoyn domain wich has a high DA, and rewrite it to his site www.example.com?

      If yes how?

      Thanks

        Normally not, when there are followed links pointed from the njoyn.com domain towards the new rewritten url it does. but i do believe that when the url is just rewritten from a big DA domain to a new domain that this won't impact much.

        But the DA is just a main score for the entire root domain and does not directly mean that the subdomain has huge importance or authority. This would mean that if you start a example.wordpress.com blog that it would give you huge benefits right away. More about DA on http://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority

          Hi i am not really sure to understand, did you make an error on this sentence:

          "This would mean that if you start a example.wordpress.com blog that it would give you huge benefits right away."

          Because this sentence mean that it will give me benefits to use a popular sub domain but you explained below that it wouldn't.

          Thanks a lot for your answer 🙂

            No i'm sorry i will clarify. What i ment was more "if i think logically i do not think it will give you any benefits"

            The example mentioned that if that where true, everyone would start a wordpress.com blog instead of there own site because there Top domain already has superb scorings.
