      I'd dread the answer being the latter rather than the former as we've spent two years building it blog.domain...

      However I noticed SEOmoz are domian.tld/blog and it got me thinking....

      Cheers.

        It is best to use the domain.com/blog as the link juice and authority picked up by your blog will be passed in part to the root domain, therefore increasing you domain authority etc

        If you take the subdomain route the link juice and authority doesn't get passed and the blog is treated as an independent sites in Google.

        Therefore i'd go domain.com/blog every day of the week
