Will I have a problem in the future by installing various QA with shared users?

Wed, 26 Jun 2013 07:19:13 +0000

Hi!

First, sorry for my bad english.

I want to put qa installations on differents subdomains like: cars.domain.com, pets.domain.com, etc. And I want to share their users. Same user and login for all subdomains.

Now imagine that in 6 months from now there is a new version of QA, the 1.8, and this new version change the estructure of the table qa_users. I decided to update one of my subdomains, cars.domain.com. If the table qa_users is the same for all, and I have to change because update cars.domiain.com, what about the others domains? they still working or I have to update it all at the same time?

Thanks!

Boosting SEO features of Q2A

Fri, 12 Aug 2011 10:06:53 +0000

While Q2A is pretty well SEO optimized right off the box - I decided to squeeze as much SEO juice from it as possible. I noticed in the past how much Google loves "tags". Plus extra bit of ranking juice is given when keyword is present in the domain name - or subdomain. So I implemented advanced theme addon that allows you to map each keyword tag as a separate subdomain name. Advantage: extra SEO ranking boost for your keywords, and extra position on SERPs as google considers subdomains as a separate websites.

For that to work you need to create wildcarded subdomain. I use Hostgator/Cpanel - and it's one click to create it. The rest was done through my custom addon. Plus I made many corners more round for better visual appeal.

Here's result: http://find.selfhelpfast.com
Click on tags and see how URL + Title + heading will change according to tag.

(It's not really a question, but rather request for SEO-hungry people to share their views and opinions on this approach)
