Linking domains on the same C Block together

[tomhall90]

Hey,

I have an online store selling dj equipment, sound & light products such as speakers, lasers, decks, pa systems, karaoke systems etc.

I just bought a new domain but I registered it under a different name and address (my personal details). And I plan on hosting the website on a seperate server so it has no connection with my eCommerce store.

The main purpose of the website will be to review the products I sell, write detailed how to guides for DJ's, party planners, mobile DJ's etc.

There will be links on the current ecommerce website (which currently gets around anything from 500 to 1000 unique hits a day) going to the new blog website. But would I be better off keeping it on the same C Block even though they are going to be two very different websites and the blog may not always necessarily be about the products on my ecommerce website and may be products on say eBay, Amazon, etc. (In otherwords, it's going to be it's own website with an unbiased opinion, but the ecommerce site will be linking to it on certain products that are reviewed on there).

Any help is appreciated

HI Tom

If they are two very different websites then why would it matter if they are on the same c block or not?

Personally I would not get too worried about trying to hide the connection from google, it is a losing game in most cases. That being said, most of the content you mention seems to be relevant to the ecom site, I would be tempted to host it on the same domain. Use the blog site to add relevant reviews and content and to help boost the overall domain authority of the main site. Just because the blog is hosted on the ecom site doesn't mean the reviews cannot be unbiased!

My two cents!
