Subdomains do the hurt my site?

Hi

if i create a subdomain under [B][url]www.mysite.com[/url][/B] called [B]test.mysite.com[/B] would google see this as duplicated content and therefore – see me as spamming content?

Cheers
jim

Google would penalize you only if you actually copy and pasted content from mysite.com to test.mysite.com and have it indexed. Duplicate content and subdomains are two separate scenarios. Sub domains should be used to organize the structure of your content such as categories.

The subdomain will not get you penalized.

Use relevant category names for your subdomain.

Success!
