		<description>wow, that&#039;s a good step by Google. I saw many companies created subdomian and try to get backlinks to their home page that&#039;s actually not a good way to rank well in the search engines.</description>

		<description>I think its more related to bandwidth usage

when ur site eating alot of bandwidth u will be forced to move it to sub domain.

i dont think rating them as folders will have a big effect.</description>

		<description>This is indeed good news from Google. I hope they start to do something about Wikipedia dominating the SERP pages. This is definitely a step in the right direction.</description>

		<description>I work for a large organisation in Australia and the reason we use subdomains is so that microsites and sections of the website can be hosted externally.

So this will be a big win as the Search Engine Rankings of the subdomain will be able to piggy back on the Authority of the main domain.

I am looking forward to it!</description>

		<description>I am sure this is not the best news for some websites. Even Yahoo has used subdomains for the marketing of other non related websites.</description>

		<description>Hi,

I haven&#039;t heard anything about Yahoo and MSN as of yet but it won&#039;t be long before Yahoo puts the filter in place since they tend to parallel with what Google does.

		<description>While I am impressed that Google is making this change, I have to wonder if larger companies that utilize subdomains will actually notice.

I have to agree that Google is leveling the playing field - whether intentional or not, creating inbound links via subdomains isn&#039;t exactly the best SEO practice. That being said, I don&#039;t know how many companies have built SEO into their design strategy if they are using subdomains.

I see this is yet another smart move by Google to refine the search results. Are Yahoo, MSN, and other SERPs following suit? Or was Google just behind on this one?</description>
