Using Drupal to Author Websites across 2 Domains

[Hershel.Miller]

I am new to Drupal and as an organization we are considering using it to author both our corporate site and our blog. In the future we'd like our blog to live at a separate domain and I understand Drupal is capable of publishing across 2 domains.

Does anyone know of any SEO implications to this type of infrastructure set up? Are there specific things to be mindful of when setting up the Drupal CMS across 2 domains?

thanks for the assistance!

I know this is extremely late but I am curious as to the results of this.  Did you use the feeds / services module to accomplish it?

My thought would be to use a taxonomy and a token to state which site was the main publishing site by declaring an canonical URL.

Better late then never, I'm not  completely certain as to all the tech ins and outs on the set up, but we have a Drupal instance that shares a user database and seperate content databases for each site. Based on the search traffic i see across both sites, it appears to be a decent set up, although I don't have anything to test it against. Only challenge with this approach is you can't "share" content super easily across the sites, but we don't tend to do that so much any hoot.

Fascinating.  If it works and suites your needs that is what matters.
