Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Saw this on Yoast's blog:

"Auto generating a snippet is a "shortcut", and there are no real shortcuts in (WordPress) SEO (none that work anyway)."

Question answered

Is it possible to block an entire subdomain with robots.txt?

I write for a blog that has their root domain as well as a subdomain pointing to the exact same IP. Getting rid of the option is not an option so I'd like to explore other options to avoid duplicate content. Any ideas?

Awesome! That did the trick -- thanks for your help. The site is no longer listed

I personally don't like hypens in domains but I imagine your choices here won't have very much difference in terms of your initial rankings. Just because you have the exact match domain doesn't mean you will rank well for the query of "Tax Bond" -- you will need to get links pointing to your site and optimize the content. The anchor text of these links will play a much larger role in getting the rankings you desire than the domain itself. While the domain is pretty clutch, it's a small part of the important aspects that you need to focus on to rank well.

Does that answer your question?
