I'm curious whether a 301 redirect from the main site to the blog domain would continue to carry SEO weight down the road or if it would only transfer some trust early on (or if I'm totally off base)?

The benefits just seem to register when you put it all together and do ONE link building campaign, it simply makes your domain stronger and re-inforces that domain when it is all on ONE ...... ONE domain, ONE sets of incoming links, ONE domain to remember .... ONE domain is much easier for the customer to remember and the builder to build .....

(See point #2 about trust.) If, on the other hand, the old domain is not performing as well or does not ranking for the new keywords, you may benefit from starting fresh. Best of luck!

I'm one step closer to deciding if I should build my new blog on a separate domain or not. Opa! :o) How important do you think it is to instill SEO into the blog URL? The reason I'm debating this issue is because my current website domain doesn't reflect any of my new keywords in the domain name, and I wanted to build a foundation for the blog by leveraging keywords in the new blog name if I choose to go that route with a separate domain. Any advice on this? - Ilias Thanks for the article Nicko. I’m one step closer to deciding if I should build my new blog on a separate domain or not. Opa! :o)

From my experience, a separate blog - if it is maintained with regular posts, replies to comments, etc - can build steam pretty fast and have a positive impact on traffic to the main website. But I see your point about the extra click. The fewer, the better. Anyway - interesting read, thanks, and I may point some clients this way as well so they can get your perspective.
