The keyphrase in question was “Best Flight Booking” , claiming he beat out tons of online ticket vendors who pay thousands in SEO. While I agreed with most of the points, I came across one point that I really was quite unsure of. The author claimed that since he was using a “subdomain.wordpress.com” domain, that Google was giving his page added value because wordpress.com is known as an authoritative site.

Some time ago it was even common SEO technique to use subdomain to link to the main site so Google sees it as external links and values. However for some time already it's ineffective. Google recognized the trick and doesn't treat these as external... Best proof that this my blog is treated as part of WordPress is the result of my SEO. The post that scored so high on Google was actually 3rd on my site. Back then my blog was not linked from anywhere. Without "the power" of WordPress domain it wouldn't have any chance to score anywhere as high. Thanks for your comment. I see you have really interesting and valuable blog with lots of good insight on SEO. -- Pawel Hello Ross,

Actually google and other SE's look at subdomains as a completely seperate domain and you don't get any ranking benifit from having a "wordpress" or "blogspot" root. Otherwise it would be very easy to spam just by setting up a few blogging accounts that are little more than doorway pages. “The WordPress.com domain is well known for Google (many sites links here) and Google ranks it very high.”
