A client wants a new domain name for a new subsection of an existing site (very large site with subdomains, etc). This URL will effectively point to the new section of the site (different URL). The reason they want a separate domain name is branding, nothing to do with keywords (although I've pointed out the benefits).
My question is how best to set up this new domain. I don't want to upset the search engines (esp Google) and I know there are different ways of doing it.
Now I'm not a webmaster and I'm not a techie so if someone can explain in simple terms, the options available, I'd be very glad.
Thanks in advance
