BLOGS: "Sub-directory or Sub-domain???"

[smeatz]

Hi all... in your own blogging experience or knowledge, should a blog that is being used to drive traffic to (and/or boost search engine rankings of) a main website, be formatted as a sub-directory or a sub-domain or that site?

If you take the time to comment on this question, please share with me your reasons "why" you prefer / recommend one or the other. I can never ever learn enough from you guys

Regards,

Hi there,

If you just want to loook for methof to drive traffic, a format like this:
http:// yourdomain.com/blog

will be good enough. Unless you want to use for SEO purposely. Which you include this format as your blog:
http:// blog.yourdomain.com

But you still able to access via this format:
http:// yourdomain.com/blog

Sub-domain will consider as a separate domain to search engine. Other than that, it is okay for using either one format.
