I'm sure this was how it was originally provided in terms of handling sub domains but with so many others (as you point out) stating that disavowing a root domain will also disavow all sub domains, I've raised a discussion point in the Technical SEO community on Google+ and called in John Mueller to see if he can confirm for us. | |
| Dec 16, 2014 at 16:10 | comment | added | Alex | any proof? From what I see on webmaster forums (including google product forums!) disavowing a domain disavows all subdomains. | |
