I have a site that is a portal or directory for service providers.We opened every service provider's own page on our site, but now we get a lot of applications from those providers that want sites from their own.We want to make a full site for every service provider, but rather put them on sub domain URLs. (They dont mind, it's OK for them.)So, my site is www.exaple.comTheir site will be: provider.example.comNow I have two questions:Can the content on the provider sites harm my site in SEO?If one from those sub domains is punished by Google because the owner does black hat SEO, how it will affect the rood domain? Can it make the root domain get punished?
Can third party content on sub-domains harm the main site's search rankings?
