Should I be Using a Separate Domain for Infographics and PDF's etc?

Hi all, I'm hoping that you'll be able to help me please.

We currently have a company website, which we've spent a lot of time optimizing and cleaning things up, and have just launched the new site.

However our PR and HR departments have access to this domain and tend to throw up lots of seasonal info-graphics, PDFs and images to share externally via social media. The issue being that this content eventually gets out of date and never gets removed.

In order not to dilute/ham the parent website, would it be a good idea to purchase a separate domain, which will only be used for hosting assets, HTML info-grahics, etc?

Thanks

Ben

    Assuming all the pdfs and infographics are related to the topic of your company and site, then it should not hurt your position in Google search to leave all that up (if only in archive). You could create a subdirectory on your main site where all this could be stored (with access by customers/visitors). It would act as a reference database for anyone wanting to view previous year's content.

    Hey how are you? Definitely no, you don't have to use separate domains for images... Why? Well, the answer is simple, GOOGLE!.

    Google is a search engine that include images, news, books, videos(Youtube). The more presence you have on Google, more higher your site ranking on google.

    That is why you should upload your images at your domain.

    PS: Also, that is why you should upload your videos to Youtube.
