          Search engines mostly treat sub domains as if they were their own domain. From what I understand they pass zero to no value back and forth from sub domain to main domain without linking them. So redirecting a sub domain with zero links will bring you no value.

          The only advantage I have heard rumor of is that a sub-domain will carry the age of the main domain... I have no experience or tests that would prove this or disprove it.

          • I've consolidated other domains to a single one with 301 redirects, yet the new domain authority in MOZ is much less that the redirected ones. Is that right?
