Should I put my blog in a sub-directory, a subdomain or on its own domain?

It depends on what you want to do with it, they both are fine.

If your blog is in the same niche then it's advisable to use a sub-directory or a sub-domain because it will be easier to manage.

Do not put your blog in a SUB DOMAIN!

a sub domain of a core site is viewed as more or less a seperate site to your main site, you will gain no link juice from positing on your blog thus your core site will not be affected in search engine rankings,

put your blog as a sub directory, and keep the extention keyword rich try not to just name it blog, as you will be updating it frequently ( thats teh idea of a blog) you will create link juice and fresh content for your whole site.

Putting it into a sub domain will not do you any favours!

You can use any method. However, having everything in one place (as in sub directory) may be easier to manage. In SEO terms there is not much advantage for any of them. Just make sure you have links pointing from your website to your blog so that it can share from some of the juice already gained by your website. This will also make it faster for search engines like Google to find and index your blog at least in the early stages.

Do not forget why you created the blog, which I believe is to drive traffic to your website. So make sure the blog does that by linking back to your conversion pages. Do I also need to remind you that the website and the blog should look alike.

I'm a blogger myself and the question posted in this forum is quite relevant for me since I'm also in doubt whether Should I Put My Blog In A Sub-directory, A Subdomain Or On Its Own Domain?. Hope this question will be answered. Thanks!
