  • De-indexing a Subdomain – Best Practices

    Posted by DNZilluminat on December 19, 2022 at 4:00 pm

    I work on **de-indexing a subdomain** that brings spam traffic.

    I’ve already redirected the URLs that bring quality traffic. In terms of next steps, I’m thinking:

    1. Disallow the subdomain in robots.txt
    2. Add a request to ‘Temporary Removals’ in GSC

    Am I missing something?

    Your opinion on this is highly appreciated! ?

    What did you do to everything else? Funnel to an error page or redirect to the start page of the new/other site? Not sure what’s better, I think redirecting to the new site could be kind of risky.
