Hey, I am setting up a blog for one of my sites and wondered if anyone had an opinion on the better place to set up - inside the relevant website or on it's own domain?
marketjunction is very right; do not forget to have the domain hosted on a different c-block IP with different Whois information, if you are interested in taking advantage of it for the other site you have.
I'll throw a diff opinion in. I believe in keeping it within the site to build up the size of the site and the freshness. The only time I wouldn't is where the site is "factual" and the blog is "commentary" and then I'd put the blog on a subdomain.
That's why I said "if" you have enough content. If you do, you can separate and keep freshness. Also size is not necessarily a good thing, except for maybe SEO reasons. Plus, by having the blog outside, you can post some content that is on the other site, thus increasing content. Any who, that's my opinion
