I can't see how this is gonna work ...

That article sent me into a panic and a reading frenzy.
My understanding is as long as subdomains are a different topic and content they will still be treated as a separate domain.
Of course my understanding could be all fucked up
(I blame it on all the Grateful Dead concerts I went to in the 70's)

I can't find much info on this, just similar posts on other blogs but it looks like all sub domains will be merged (if it happens)

Here's another one..

Matt Cutts Said,

"our policies for how subdomain.example.com vs. example.com relate to each other haven’t changed."

"Google will be less likely to show (say) 7-8 subdomains from one domain for some queries, but the point I’m trying to make is that the vast majority of sites won’t notice much difference at all in their referrals."

I'm thinking if you have twenty subdomains going after the same search term your fucked
if you have twenty subdomains going after twenty different search terms they will still be treated as different domains

I think you're right there and that blog explains a bit more than the scare mongering SEO faggots.

Looks like AFF are gonna get fucked again as that's exactly what they've done with sub domains. lol
