Drupal and Wordpress on same TLD

[JaredBroker]

As Rand says on the Whiteboards, "Howdy SEOmoz fans",

I am obsessed with Wordpress, but wanted to spread my wings a bit and have been playing around with Drupal.  I really like it.

I had the idea for a new site that would have a Drupal set up (in the front end for pages and training) with a Wordpress blog on the subdomain or a directory for the Social Media integration I like to do with Wordpress.

I'm just brainstorming a couple questions:

1. Would you guys and gals recommend sticking to just one or the other for SEO or does this not really matter as long as they are deep linked well?

2. Also, would you recommend subdomain or directory for WP?

Have a good one,

Jared

Jared,

In my experience (and I cannot think of a site we have done with Drupal and WP) I do not see where it would cause you a problem from an SEO pov to do both. If it is for you, you should be able to work around any issues with more esoteric differences between the two. On the other hand, if you were doing for a client, I just had a client we switched to all WP whom a previous dev had on a CMS for site and WP for blog on site. (Was cumbersome for client).

As to subdomain or directory, I would use directory.
