In response to your inquiries, subdomains can be a good approach for blogs when adding a blog to an established site. Also, from a marketing perspective, many organizations find that blogs fit in a little better on a subdomain rather than in the structure of an existing site.

Where we see this question coming up most frequently is in structuring of a blog as an add-on to an established site. It seems from a search perspective, there are two potential strategies: 1) My blog will be so noteworthy that it will attract links better than the rest of my site. It will attract rank and traffic in its own right, and will boost the overall rank of the domain (therefore, go with subdirectory approach, right?), or 2) My main domain will continue to attract most of the links. The blog will have some rank, but mostly it's value will be in linking to the main domain (so go with a subdomain for the blog) What do you think? Thanks for the excellent post ssawall.
