      Hi,

      My web site georgerossphotography.com and my ecommerce site store.georgerossphotography.com each reside on different servers.

      georgerossphotography.com has a domain authority of 30

      store.georgerossphotography.com has a domain authority of 30

      Clearly, they are considered two individual sites but is there any way that I can boost the performance of the primary domain by passing along some for that good SEO juice from the sub-domain?

      Any input would be gratefully received.

      Regards,

        Hi,

        Because it is a subdomain, that will already be happening. That is why you will see both as 30. I think it was back in 2011 when Google stopped treating Subdomains as separate sites. The link to the subdomain will be seen as an internal link.

        If you want to increase the DA of both, then you need to start doing some link building to the primary domain. This will pass down the line.

        -Edit... There is also nothing wrong with building links to the store either. This is just like linking to any other internal pages.

        -Andy

          In addition to all that's been said, reviews for your store is a great way to get inbound links.
