Redirection Effects on Sub Domain

[ITRIX]

Hi, I would try to summarize my query through an example. Lets say site A (www.siteA.com) have two sub domain (subdomain1.siteA.com & subdomain2.siteA.com) and another site B ( www.siteB.com ) have no sub domain. Due to some obvious reason we need re direct the site site A (www.siteA.com) to site B ( www.siteB.com ) and one of the sub domain (subdomain1.siteA.com) to site B (subdomain1.siteB.com). Now the question is that in case of ( subdomain2.siteA.com ) can we keep the sub domain to site A even though site A has been re directed to site B ? Reasons for keeping this can be traffic, earnings etc. Is it possible to keep it like that or provision for further optimization? Plz help.

Umm a bit complicated.. From the users’ perspective, it would look strange if the Site A gets redirected to Site B but the sub-domains do not. And from search engine’s perspective, I do not think, it will be the right thing to do. Say for Blogger.com. If Blogger.com gets penalized or starts losing traffic, it will have far reaching impacts on its sub domains as well. So, it will be great if you redirect the sub domains as well.

BUT remember, when you are doing 301 direction, you are in fact carrying the legacy of the past domain. That means the new domains will enjoy all the link juice, authority and at the same time, if the website has been penalized, the new domain will also come under scanner.

_So before you make the decision, you need think about this.  _
