    If I create a subdomain of my website do hits to that subdomain help with the alexa rank of my home page?

    for example my home page is http://www.evenhosting.com if I make http://yoursite.evenhosting.com and a lot of people visit http://yoursite.evenhosting.com does it help http://www.evenhosting.com's alexa rank?

    I tried to look at Alex doc. and here is what I found from them....
    ================================================== =
    Alexa’s traffic rankings are for top level domains only (e.g. domain.com). We do not provide separate rankings for subpages within a domain (e.g. www.domain.com/subpage.html) or subdomains (e.g. subdomain.domain.com) unless we are able to automatically identify them as personal home pages or blogs, like those hosted on Geocities and Tripod. If a site is identified as a personal home page or blog, its traffic ranking will have an asterisk (*) next to it: Personal Page Avg. Traffic Rank: 3,456*. Personal pages are ranked on the same scale as a regular domain, so a personal page ranked 3,456* is the 3,456th most popular page among Alexa users.
    ================================================== =

    but for me the answer is still not clear so do visitors to subdominas also affect alexa rank for the main domain?

    Also is ifram traffics counts w.r.t. Alexa?

    Alexa only count TLD (top level domain) -- i.e., notTLD.thedomainTLD.com
    "www" is technically a subdomain, FYI.

    forum.videohelp and www.videohelp have the same Alexa.
