Thanks for explaining this so clearly Kenneth, I’ve been wondering how this works for some time. I’m starting a site that will have a wiki on it so I know now to put it in a subdomain and save myself a lot of headache down the line!

Best wishes.

Thank you for making it clear, Kenneth!

Kenneth, do you have any idea how it would affect the SEO of my website if I created a subdomain or a subdirectory for my website, but also purchased a new domain and forwarded it to the subdomain or subdirectory? Since the new domain would ultimately take them to my website, I wouldn’t think it would hurt my SEO - would you?

Thank you!!!
Julie

I have been doing some research on this topic and according to the folks at Alexa, they do not track traffic to your subdomain. They only track traffic to your main home page.

I am having a problem currently with getting accurate stats from Alexa because they are only tracking traffic to my main homepage and not my blog.site.com. Unfortunately, the main homepage gets next to nothing traffic while the blog gets about 10,000 unique visitors per month.

So consider that when choosing a subdomain. If showing a legitimate traffic ranking is important then it can be a nightmare to get Alexa to figure out what is what.
