Do I need a subdomain for a site and how does it affect rankings?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

There is a service site with payment for goods. The goal is to get to the top of organic search. The question was whether it makes sense to put a blog on a separate subdomain. I know that the subdomain ranks as a separate site, but the question is - how will it affect SEO for good or bad?

Answer 1

У вас в вопросе ответ. Поддомен - это отдельный сайт, он никак не повлияет на ранжирование сайта на основном домене.

Answer 2

Для SEO лучше делать блог в папке, а не поддомене - site.ru/blog
