Moz's official stance on Subdomain vs Subfolder - does it need updating?

[randfish]

Either can work well - subfolders are a fine solution for many. There's a slight bit more advantage in country-targeting with TLD extensions, but you lose a lot in link equity and ranking ability, so it's a tradeoff you'll have to choose between.

Thanks,

That's what I had hoped. I will stick with the sub folders for now.

Rand,

Will search engines penalize a slow moving migration from subdomain to subdirectory, where a site had both blog.domain.com and www.domain.com/blog, even if there was no duplicate content? Thought being, all new blogs get posted under the subdirectory and we slowly migrate blogs from the subdomain.

Thanks.

Does anyone have insight into the session percentage lift for their blog or their site after making the move from a subdomain blog to a subfolder? I'm seeing a lot of people talk about improvements in rankings for keywords on their blog and site but haven't seen anyone list out session numbers to go with that data.

Thanks

I'm on a hosted cart solution where their blog is lame, so lame that its really unusable. I have the option of either a subdomain or creating my blog on another separate domain completely. Any thoughts on which would be better?

Hi SimplyNutrients! A subdomain will still beat an entirely separate domain. Sometimes it can even be treated the same as a subfolder on the main domain. For the best shot at that, do what you can to make the navigation, the footer, the design, the UX, etc. match the main site -- some combination of those seem to be what matter to Google on this front.

Best of luck!

Hi, I also decided to move the https://toptourist.ir/ site to the https://www.top-travel.ir/ site. How should I do this?
