: Put document pages to the company site or create "docs" subdomain? The company produces several software products and the company's site has subdirs for each of the product: www.example.com/product1
The company produces several software products and the company's site has subdirs for each of the product:
example.com/product1 www.example.com/product2 example.com/product3
which is handy and nice for SEO.
There are also some documents, howtos and help pages for each product. For some historical reasons these pages are located under docs subdir, like that
example.com/docs
Now we discuss if we should create separate subdomain docs.site.com to keep help and documentation separated from main site. Not a big deal technically but may be painful as of SEO side.
What would you recommend, to keep products docs on the same site as products information itself or to create separate domain for docs? It is much easier to maintain separate domain (to make it fuzzy I can add that 'main' and 'docs' parts of the site uses different CMSes), we can also add HTTPS to it separately from main site, but we are afraid of SEO things.

I'm doing all on the same domain because of the easier organisation and for better user experience.
For example if you have 3 products in your company, it's better to have documentation linked on that products site (eg. site.com/product1/doc.pdf than anothersite.com/product1.pdf)
If you need bigger organization of documents, than put it like
site.com/docs/doc1.pdf etc.
But... there's a way with no follow and iframes.
