14 Case Studies to back up the assertion that moving from subdomain to subfolder increases search traffic. [图片] Rand Fishkin (follow @randderuiter on Threads) @randfish Are you in need of 14 case studies to back up the assertion that: Moving subdomain -> subfolder (almost always) increases search traffic Moving subfolder -> subdomain (almost always) decreases search traffic I got your back. Thread /1 7:57 PM - 14 Mar 2018 510 130 I have a root domain with better authority. Can I switch Discourse to a subfolder? :thinking: Is there any specific issue? Please show me right way.

Do not believe the SEO snake oil salesmen. :snake: If you want traffic, generate interesting, useful content for a long period of time. Literally nothing else matters.

On one Droplet, I want to keep like this … https://example-wordpress-application.com/discourse/ Root Domain = WordPress Subfolder = Discourse

[图片] Serve Discourse from a subfolder (path prefix) instead of a subdomain Self-Hosting warning Discourse Official Statement about Subfolder setup We support subfolder setups for our hosted customers at the enterprise level and up. Due to heavy technical setup complexity we strongly recommend you do not use this setup unless you are very experienced in custom subfolder setups. It is critical you have a deep understanding of NGINX setup in the Discourse Docker container Secure original IP forwarding using custom headers in the proxy chain Rate limiting in front proxy server I…

Just as a warning, We keep listening this again & again but there have never been a real advantage of having a subfolder install. It makes things complicated and difficult to manage

I have a background in several scientific technologies so what I would consider to be significant data based on valid “case studies” may be much more demanding than all of the SEO “evidence” I have ever seen. I have yet to see any SEO evidence that convinced me that what Google representatives themselves have said is not correct. Anyway, can an app be in a sub folder of another app? In many cases, sure. Potential pitfalls that come to mind are: HTTP routing issues filesystem path issues naming clashes dependency incompatibilities When App1 and App2 are separate, if there is a problem with one the other will be unaffected. But when App1 and App2 are not separate, a problem in either can break both.

I am afraid now. Thinking to discontinue this thought.

Thanks for the honest response. :pray: Thanks everyone.
