By having two (or more) domains, you are weakening your overall web presence (because you are splitting your content). You should have one strong website, rather than two weaker ones. Instead of this: www.abcphotos.com & www.abcphotosblog.com you should have: www.abcphotos.com & blog.abcophotos.com (or www,abcphotos.com/blog) This way you are still getting cross links and inbound links BUT, all the content is on the one domain name (ie, you are strengthening your overall seo efforts on that one domain). For a good example.. Apple Inc. They used to have www.apple.com www.apple.ca www.apple.com.au etc etc Now - they just use www.apple.com as their master domain... and then use www.apple.com/ca www.apple.com/au www.apple.com/uk See the difference? Its huge. Go to www.apple.com.au and take close notice of the URL.. it will change to www.apple.com/au Why? Because of the same prinicple as i mentioned above. Rather than having multiple sites that give them an OK search engine presence.. they are building up their master domain name.

This way every image/post that links to your portfolio counts as an "inbound link". Another interesting tip I heard is by having your blog a separate domain name than your main website.
