SEO Implications of Moving Blog to Subdomain

[stageagent]

Hello,

We are having some issues upgrading our stack and maintaining Wordpress for our blog.  So we are thinking about splitting them up.  What are the SEO implications of moving our blog to a subdomain?

Our blog URL structure is currently something like https://www.aplossoftware.com/blog/p/2470/fund-accounting/yearend-closing-checklist/.

We would like to change to something like https://blog.aplossoftware.com/p/2470/fund-accounting/yearend-closing-checklist/

Matt Cutts says that it is now roughly the same (subdomain vs. directory). He goes on to say that Google has changed the way they look at sub-domains and now can consider the overall domain as a unified entity. The video is linked to this post. Now it just depends on how much you trust Matt Cutts.

This video is nearly 2 years old and people are still saying to use sub-folder. not sub-domain.

I am knee deep in setting up a proxy to deal with this because my ecommerce site runs under tomcat and we use wordpress for our blog. Simple to get going but keeping it the way it was would be easier..
