Good Backlinks pointing to a subdomain, help the root domain?

Hello. I have got a website on mydomain.com and the blog on mydomainblog.com. I start telling for tech reasons I can’t host it on a subfolder of the root domain, but I can host it on a subdomain like blog.mydomain.com

What I was wondering is if backlinks pointing to the subdomain will help ranking the root domain too.

In that case I could consider to migrate the blog from mydomainblog.com to blog.mydomain.com

So basically my question is: backlinks to blog.mydomain.com will help ranking of mydomain.com

I am not interested in the reverse (root domain helping the sub domain).

I asked it because I know google considers a subdomain as a completely different domain

Thank you

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
