Subdomains vs. Second Level Domains in Reporting and Tracking

In reporting and tracking searches, second-level domains (regional domains listed at http://george.surbl.org/two-level-tlds) are treated differently from subdomains, even though the two domain types may appear to be the same. For example:

• Reports will not include results for a two-level domain such as co.uk , but will include results for foo.co.uk . Reports include subdomains under the main corporate domain, such as cisco.com .
• Tracking search results for the regional domain co.uk will not include domains such as foo.co.uk , while search results for cisco.com will include subdomains such as subdomain.cisco.com .
