Blog.furnacefilterscanada.com/ or furnacefilterscanada.com/blog/

My shopping cart does not allow to instal a WordPress blog on a sub-domain like:

furnacefilterscanada.com/blog/

But I can host my blog on another server with a sub-domain like:

blog.furnacefilterscanada.com

In a SEO point of view is there a difference between the 2?

Link juice? Page authority?

Thank you,

BigBlaze

Hi there,

In SEO point of view (and as SEO good practice) it is preferred that blogs are placed in subfolders.

In your case, the subfolder would be: furnacefilterscanada.com/blog

Since your blog will have link worthy contents that will be useful to your website, then it is recommended that you create a subfolder for that instead of the subdomain (blog.furnacefilterscanada.com).

Hope that helps!

I agree with Danny, but let me add this in as well.

If you are keeping a tight control over the blog content and quality (hopefully you are) then subfolder is the way to go.

If you are allowing guest bloggers to post weak content and external links, and they have the ability to publish live without you vetting prior to release, then a subdomain would be better to protect the main site.
