Hi all,

I am about to implement a new online forum package. I have my choice of implementing it on a subdirectory on my company domain, i.e. tipsweb.com/forum, or a completely separate but topically connected domain, alarmmanagement.com. I would like to find out if it is better for the rankings of the tipsweb.com domain to have the forum located under that domain. In contrast, is it better to have the forum at a completely separate domain, with a few links back and forth.

The forum package is InstantForum.NET.

Thanks

Chris

Note: I implemented a test/inexpensive forum using the alarmmanagment.com domain.
