Sorry for the bump, I was wondering, do A-B-C link trades still work with SE's with same domains, or have they caught on to that?
Meaning, if I have some sub-domains, and I do an ABC trade like this..
(A)hotgirl.mydomain.com - A->B
(B)whateverlinktrade.com - B->C
(C)
www.mydomain.com
Will google be like.. hey wait a minute, his subdomain is linking to whateverlinktrade.com, so this counts as an A-B trade?
Thanks

I am curious before I start making subdomains for the purpose of ABC trades
