In the meantime i'll continue to build websites that make sense regardless of google's policies as I always do. Luckily I learned how to get traffic and make money on the web before google was even a portal. Anytime someone bases their entire marketing plan all on what google changes or does, they are just asking for it. There are actually other ways to get targeted traffic. Google has not yet taken over the world. I like to think of google as brain and Vint Cerf as Pinky. I’ll take the wait and see approach.

Based on past behavior of Google, I think they will continue to improve the policy to include reasonable exception. It remains to be seen whether this policy will affect every use of subdomains.

How does google handle that? And another quest. .co.uk all domains on .co.uk are subdomains.

My question is related to this. I am currently building a blog directory. Real estate blogs were to be on one subdomain like realestate.blogs.pn. Internet Marketing blogs would be on Internetmarketing.blogs.pn, etc. etc. That directory just makes good sense. According to the statement by cutts, even if I used folders as hierarchy, it would still hurt me to have any hierarchy whatsoever. Blogspot.com has a million subdomains. So only tweo blogger blogs can get listed? This filter really seems to be hurtful to legitimate uses of subdomains. I ralize some abuse subdomains, but punishing everyone for the actions of a few is a bad business plan. People abuse adsense and I don't see them filtering out all use of adsense. a new filter to make sure only two results of a domain (no matter subdomain or folder)

It will reduce SERP's from being dominated by large coroporations. We work with small to medium businesses and having first page results ia a critical success factor for many of them. In my opinion the excessive use of sub-domains is essentially corporate spamming. It does not improve SERP quality and serves only to clog the flow of information. Hooray for Google!
