Redirect a sub-domain to other domain

[gamesecure]

Hi there!

Suppose a domain 'abc.com' has a subdomain 'news.abc.com'. If we redirect (301) only subdomain 'news.abc.com' to 'xyz.com'. so is there any SEO harm on main domain 'abc.com'?

Even both abc.com and xyz.com are running separately.

Hi there

I guess I would ask why you're taking the news on one domain and moving it to another? I would think you'd move it to a directory of abc.com? Is there a reason why you're doing this?

Check out Rand's post on Subdomains vs. Subfolders, Rel Canonical vs. 301, and How to Structure Links for SEO - it's extremely helpful!

Hope this helps! Good luck!
