we have an existing adult site and we are going to support it with a blog. can you see any advantages either way to either putting the blog on its own very similar domain vs putting the blog on the site’s domain? they can be any kind of advantages at all – trading, search engine or anything else you can think of.
See my post a ways back on domain authority. A big domain with lots of similar content will do better than breaking things up.
That said, if you don’t control your outbound link juice on the link site with a robots.txt-blocked redirect script, or at a minimum nofollow, then it may be considered to be spammy. In that case the link list domain may be a lost cause in the short-term and a new domain would be better. But if you get a healthy amount of organic traffic from Google on a variety of terms, then you’re probably OK…
From an SEO perspective you absolutely should have them on the same site.

I love the quote from that article… “When to use an entirely new domain… When you don’t want it to rank at the search engines.”
These days the search engines want to link to authoritative sites – sites they can trust. It is the reason why even stub articles in Wikipedia can rank for some search terms.
Yes, you may have a business reason to use separate domains (like you want to sell one of them), but there are other ways around that, like 301ing the directory when you do the sale. If you chose a different option make sure you know what you are potentially giving up by doing it…
So, from an SEO perspective – keep everything on the same site…
