Does a Subdomain Blog Pass Juice?

[mj775]

I have a client who has their blog on a subdomain instead of subfolder. Unfortunately, the eCommerce platform they are using does not allow them to implement a blog in the subfolder. So now we are looking at growing their blog as a means to drive more traffic to the main site. The blog is a mirror of the eCommerce site's navigation with the main content section being a blog rather than products. Will publishing content and building links to the subdomain blog pass authority to the main site?

It will pass link juice.  But a sub-domain acts as its own domain so think of it as another domain.

We've added both subdomain blogs and   .com/blog & .com/news  to start creating better content.  We have had a blog for years that lived under another name with 100's of post be find it necessary to create better quality content that lives on our site.

hope that helps.
