I know somebody (a relative actually) who was in a similar situation. He
set up a site, which was in fact subsite on chiroweb.com. He bought a do-
main name of his own and had it point to the subsite on Chiroweb.
Judging by PageRank, there appears to be no penalty. I don't know about
traffic, but content and number of pages play a role, of course. His fa-
ther gives him a link from a PageRank 4 page, as well as many other pages
with lesser ranks. The son gets a PR of 3, which is what I'd expect. There
appears to be no harm in embracing such practices. Also have a look at to-
day's item from Cutts:
