    very interesting article,

    "Google will very soon begin treating subdomains and subdirectories the same in this fashion: there will be only 2 total urls from a domain in any set of search results, so no more getting 3, 4 or however many spots via subdomains."

    anyone have any more ionformation

    Word got out from Pubcon about a small part of a comment that Matt Cutts made to someone in conversation.

    Matt has said that what has already been said on many blogs has been taken out of context and he will clarify the details later.

    I hope it happens; it would stop many spammers dead in their tracks - and avoid the collateral damage done to people who 'innocently' use subdomains without understanding the 'dilution effects'

    every single page of ebay is a sub domain. Do you think they would punish one of their largest advertisers in this manner? Interesting...

    from matt cutts' blog

    "This change doesn’t apply across the board; if a particular domain is really relevant, we may still return several results from that domain. For example, with a search query like [ibm] the user probably likes/wants to see several results from ibm.com. Note that this is a pretty subtle change, and it doesn’t affect a majority of our queries. In fact, this change has been live for a couple weeks or so now and no one noticed. The only reason I talked about the subject at PubCon at all was because someone asked for my advice on subdomains vs. subdirectories."
