Separate websites for 2 products in the same business?
-
I have a business that sells art. There are 2 distinct types of art on offer. In many cases, someone who is interested in Type A may also be interested in Type B.
Most search competitors that sell Type B, only sell Type B. As a result, they have a dedicated site for type B art.
Would I be better off separating my business into 2 dedicated websites or keeping them combined?
The site currently ranks reasonably well due to content, age and has some decent inbound links. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Peter.

Hi EGOL,
Thanks for your insight into my question. I'm new here but I've read some of your other posts on the Q&A forums and will continue to work hard on producing quality content while optimizing the site. I appreciate you taking the time to answer this, my first question.

Hi John, Thanks so much for answering my question. Exactly what I wanted to hear. I'll get down to separating sections on the site in an appropriate manner and keep moving forward.

If I was building from scratch I would build one single site. It gives you the opportunity to cross-sell, it gives you the opportunity for a large impressive site, and the site will collect links from two different types of art collectors - instead of just one.

You are winning. Do not change this. It would be a huge mistake to tear off 1/2 of the site and place it on a new domain with no links and no authority.

One subdomain would be better; so you linkbuilding efforts would help Domain Authority.
You could create two landing pages specific to the genres of art and building links with exact anchor text to each. You could even build separate Facebook pages for each.
The main page could about your company or the artist, etc.
Good luck

Product Images with organic results in SERP
Hey Mozzers, I've noticed that several of our product page results in Google have the product image associated with them. Today is the first day I've seen this. Does anyone know anything about these? Has Google put anything out about this? Here's a couple examples: http://content.screencast.com/users/Will_Swales/folders/Jing/media/08a16dcf-505e-443c-866d-fae6d805743e/2014-03-31_1031.png http://content.screencast.com/users/Will_Swales/folders/Jing/media/04972e7b-f6b2-4e78-ab11-95c52d69a200/2014-03-31_1056.png What's interesting is that they don't show for me when I use Chrome's Incognito mode. Any insights much appreciated! Will

Blog Ranking NOT home page main website?!
Hi, Our Blog (http://blog.thailand-investigation.com) is ranking for some of our major keywords but not our home page (http://www.thailand-investigation.com)!? Our blog is WordPress and our main website is HTML. It seems like the search engines consider that they are 2 separate websites!? When I check the incoming links to our website, I get also the blog links!!!??? Is it normal? Do I have to build a relation of some kind or write some code saying that it is our Blog... I don't know! I'm not a SEO specialist or even a webmaster. I'm a small business owner and take care on my website. I created by myself but never learned! So, please help! Thanks

Website Redirects
Background information: We have a website (devicelock.com) which is currently our corporate website. The company use to operate under (ntutility.com) which is now being redirected to devicelock.com via a DNS Forward - 302 Redirect. The IT admin (a founder of the company) is reluctant to change it to a 301. The current flow is ntutility.com redirects to protect-me.com then redirects again to devicelock.com. When i search up Devicelock on google, it shows up as ntutlity.com. There is no devicelock.com homepage on google search. Question: Are there any negative implications about this? Is this hurting our SEO in any way? When i do link building, will this have any negative affects? Will my links for devicelock be attributed to devicelock.com?

Hcards - Business or Personal?
Hi All, To my knowledge, Hcards for rich snippets are generally used by bloggers etc. I would like to use the business logo rather than a photo of myself, as well as the business twitter, G+ local profiles and Bio for the business. The Author page will be the "about us" page with info about the company. Is this OK? Or does it have to be personal?
