: SEO - multiple domains, but one domain for a part of a website I have a website about things in Europe and I had an idea to make one specialized domain for specialized category of my website.
I have a website about things in Europe and I had an idea to make one specialized domain for specialized category of my website. So it is basicaly changing this:
example.com/countries/germany
to this:
germany.com/countries/germany
All this to get better positioning in search results. Is it worth doing that? Would it be better to do something like this?
germany.example.com/countries/germany
Anyway, the problem I see here is a duplicate content, because the links to articles would be on the old domain
example.com/articles/germany-won-the-world-cup
And the germany.com is the outbound link, even if I set it as a mirror in robots.txt .
If anyone ever considered something like this, I'd love to read some input on that, thank you!

To begin, there is very little weight given to keyword matching domains these days. It is something you can do, but there is little to no advantage to moving your content to a keyword based domain name. However, if you want to do this for other personal reasons, then I say go for it. Making the change for other reasons may make sense. As far as SEO, which is your question, you are likely to make a bigger mess and lose a fair amount of traffic for a significant period of time and in the end have little or no gain from the change. You are likely better off focusing on your site as it exists. If you have a preference for Germany, then you can promote that portion of your site in a more forward way.
