With the goal of directing traffic to my main site...is there any SEO disadvantage in installing an "attached blog" on a new, seperate domain, vs instaling in a sub directory on the main domain?
 


There is no disadvantages of installing blog in new domain or same domain. It will increase your main site's traffic as well as seo values. you can do it for your sites.

Thanks

WTF? Get the fuck out of the noob section if you can't give good advice. Not nearly enough info from the OP to be giving good info at this point. Fuck off.
 
penalty to main site

Furthur clairification: If I have plumbingcompany.com as my main company site and what to start a blog about plumbing (with the ultimate goal of getting users to find the main site and get the contact info and leads thru the main site) from do I need to attached as a subdiretory to the main site or can I instal it on a keyword specific domain like bestplumbers.com and avoid any possible penalty being passed to the main site?
 
Doesn't really matter but I don't fuck around with sub domains. For example, plumbingcompany.com/bestplumber is okay too.

If you haven't installed the WP yet, do it. Do -- don't stall or overthink.
 
Why is everyone talking about plumbers lately?

Will you only ever be promoting the plumber on the main site, or is there a possibility you might start promoting a different one later? If it's always going to be the same one, just use the same site. If you might promote different ones later, then keep them separate

Also, don't bother with subdomains, just use plumber.com/blog or whatever
 
New domain for blog

Thanks for the follow up. I really want to intstall the blog on a domain that is directly related to a highly trafficked keyword. I don't want google to sandbox both because it sees them as 2 sites, 1 company.
 
Install the blog on a domain containing your keywords. Keep it separate.

Just some food for thought: before getting into the "either this or that, not both" mode, consider this: installing another blog (in addition to the one mentioned above) on your existing domain and adding 4-5 posts per month there won't cost you anything, except bandwidth and your time.
