I just read an article about blogging that said having blog.domain.com is a good way of getting inbound links to your site becuase search engines see it as a seperate domain name.

But it also said that having domain.com/blog is a good way of adding fresh content on a daily bases, again making search engines like you.

Basically, which is better? If I do it as blog.domain.com will google still see it as fresh content for my main domain?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Well, no matter where you put the blog, as long as you keep it updated, it will be fresh content right? Think you kind answered your own question

The search engines like blogs, don't think it really matters where, though I usually put them in the root myself, just "seems" to do a little better. Some times that is not always possible. I really don't think it will matter if you do blog.domain.com or domain.com/blog, what matters is how well it is SEO'ed and what you do to promote it.

You're spot on. Doesn't matter where put it, as long as you keep it updated with quality content.

Some will use mydomain.com to brand themselves. And use mydomain.co/xxx to provide the readers with more specific info.

On mydomain.com they put links to other pages in their blog with the specific info - thus mydomain.com/xxx

Either way is fine. What matters is your blog contains good and original content.

I thinks either of the two, most important is the content of your blog. you should update it more often.

You're correct that if you used "blog.domain.com" then the search engines would see your blog as a separate site than your "domain.com" - therefore, if you were building links to "blog.domain.com" then those links would not count towards the total links of "domain.com"

If it is all about the links for your "domain.com" then I would go for the option of adding your blog to a foot folder (called blog) so your url would look like

domain.com/blog

That way any link pointing to any page on your domain will count towards the total link count.

ALWAYS keep your blog updated, aim for at least three times a week as a minimum.
