      Hi Guys,

      I'm just wondering which offers more SEO value and which is easier to set up out of:

      blog.domain.co.uk

      domain.co.uk/blog

      Thanks,

      Dan

        Your answer is here - http://www.seomoz.org/q/subdomains-vs-subfolders

        Subdomains SOMETIMES inherit and pass link/trust/quality/ranking metrics between one another

        Subfolders ALWAYS inherit and pass link/trust/quality/ranking metrics across the same subdomain

        So in your case Dan: domain.co.uk/blog

            Or here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MswMYk05tk&feature=plcp

            Good overview from Google's point of view (Matt Cutts - Web Master central)

            Personally however I would go with the folder option.

            my 2 cents.
