Ok, you've got dan.ww.com.

Thank's so much for your generosity Jacques! I'd like frank.ww.com CNAME theharpers.biz. If frank isn't good then frankh or fharper.

That one has been long abandoned, so sure.

Hehe, google.ww.com and facebook.ww.com should probably be exempted as I can see nothing but trouble coming from that. Hilarious idea though. You've got track.ww.com.

How can there be a problem in having google.ww.com redirect to Google and facebook.ww.com redirect to Facebook?

I think the problem he's referring to is giving out the Google and Facebook subdomains, so the redirect is probably fine.

hi Jacques, If this is not too late, I would love to get a subdomain : exo.ww.com == going to ==> sbstest.typenfind.com Dan

Yes, that's good.

Thanks Jacques! Are you French BTW? any idea when it's going to be up?

Jacquesm, I'm intrigued are you thinking this will give you domain authority (in SEO terms)? I can well imagine it would with a links in coming from these users. I'm not at all saying this is a bad thing, you're giving away a free service, just wondered if it was part of your considerations.

It shouldn't have any effect since Google views subdomains as separate entities. This is why it's better to have your company blog at www.domain.com/blog as opposed to blog.domain.com. Getting a lot of links to blog.domain.com doesn't help www.domain.com.

I was aware of that with Google (at present) but am not sure of the situation with Bing (or others) - that's why I asked, kinda.

I thought jacquesm might be ahead of the curve on something here or that he knew some trick for multiple category ranking or something.

I'd also imagine that it increases the instantaneous value of the domain from a sale perspective as a wider range of pages can be presented in the SERPs on a domain that has many subdomains if some subdomain is relevant to a particular search alongside the main domain.

Was just a thought really, thanks to jacquesm for answering.

You're welcome.

No, I'm Dutch. Just my name :)

It'll be up in another 4 hours when this thread goes dead. Otherwise I have to go through the whole thing twice.
