Any thoughts on the best approach. We currently have a wordpress multisite set up. Im not sure what you know about multisite but basically wordpress is hosted on a domain, in our case its blavou.co. This domain then has subdomains on it eg nottingham.master.bavlou.co which holds a main site 'http://nottingham-wedding-photographers.info'.

We are launching our first photography agency in the new year and the question is a straight up, which is better, an old domain 'blavou.co' which is a couple of years old or a brand new domain which is in no way related.

The old domain has got photography sites on the multisite so worried there might be some kind of conflict with SEO.

New domains would be better but obviously will take a lot longer to rank.

Thoughts?

    Do both... and have them compete with each other for the same keyword, for there's nothing wrong with you having more than one webpage on page 1 in Google.

    nottingham-wedding-photographers.baylou.co no nottingham.master...
    and
    nothingham-wedding-photographers.com

    You tell us, which one has a better/stronger backlink profile?

    A random niche domain name is weird for traffic so If that has the better backlink profile do a 301 redirect back to the money page/domain.
