New subdomain on old domain

[MAF Publishing]

Does this have any SEO implications? It's pretty much a brand new domain for authority and rank purposes isn't it?

I would say, Launching a new subdomain on an existing domain begins with a clean SEO slate, essentially like a separate domain for building authority and rank.

Yes, it would be starting from scratch. If you want to add a new section to an existing site, I'd use a subfolder.

Creating a new subdomain on an existing domain can provide some authority, but search engines will treat it as a separate unit.
