- timr 18y agoSuperstition. There are many "SEO experts" who swear that the opposite is true (which goes to show you the value of "SEO experts," but I digress.) Seriously...this is web-crawler 101. I think the search engines have it covered.
- nickb 18y agoDuplicate pages are bad. They cause a split in pagerank. Discount advice of anyone who tells you otherwise. http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/duplicate-content-question/ http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/duplicate-content-question/
- timr 18y agoYes, duplicate pages are generally bad, but nobody has demonstrated that having a www domain results in duplicate pages. It's a superstition. I've the done tests myself, and never found a difference. The link you've provided suggests much the same thing -- as long as you're being reasonable in your use of subdomains, you're not going to be penalized by the search engines.
- jhancock 18y agoI have a feeling the page rank of change.gov will be just fine, even if some googler has to hard code it.
- unalone 18y agoI doubt they'll need hard code. This is a big new thing. I'm sure there'll be hella linking to this from around the Internet. I posted the URL on Tumblr a few hours ago and already had 7 people reblog the link. That's one isolated instance. This'll be passed on quickly.
