Intergrating Specific Smug Mug Page to a Word Press Site

Kevin Paul · June 7, 2017

I am wanting to build a site out on Word Press for SEO reasons.

I would like to keep my client galleries hosted on Smug Mug but be able to integrate that client gallery page onto my wordpress site and still receive the SEO credit for it.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Very easy to do. My whole website is WordPress. The galleries are SmugMug. I created a sub-domain for my SmugMug.

I have some experience with HTML/CSS so it was easy for me to seamlessly match the two sites. If you don't have experience, no problem. Just post your questions in the Customization section.

How do you create a subdomain for your smug mug?

Does it matter if I purchased my domain from Go Daddy?

If you own your domain, you should be able to create a sub-domain. I don't use (nor like) GoDaddy, so I can't tell you how.

I do exactly that.

Everything-Everywhere.com is my WordPress site.

TravelPhotos.Everything-Everywhere.com is my Smugmug sites.

Very easy to do.

I am reading that a sub domain is looked on as a seperate site for SEO than the main domain. Is that accurate?

There is so much conflicting information.

I think that was the case years ago, but I don't think it is now.

What SEO benefits do you hope to achieve? Do you have a blog?
