    If we create a subdomain, such as

    h ttp://blog.domain.com or
    h ttp://domain.com/blog

    which one better? other then position is front or back, which one play good in SEO? Does search engine put either one in higher priority?

    blog.domain.com is subdomain.But domain.com/blog is not the form of
    subdomain.It's still TLD with a folder behind it.These two are made by
    different ways.For SEO,I would like to advise you to use the former.:)

    Based on my experience,the subdomain is more better coz G see it as separate domain from your main domain.
    So it will not leech your PR juice from your main domain.

    Yes google treats subdomains as separate domains so I would go for the sub-folder instead.
    Why spread your PR around thinly? it's better to concentrate it in one place.
    A blog is not going to 'leech' PR from the main domain, it is going to add to it.
    Your main domain will also have some age, a subdomain would be brand new and may be sandboxed for a while.

    So on a one word domain you can have like buy.car.com new.car.com and this would be better seo for each term?

    No, Im saying use subdirectories instead like this:
    car.com/buy/
    car.com/new/
    car.com/bmw/
    car.com/ford/

    One strong site instead of 100 weak ones.

    thank guys...

    i think i better follow the formal one...

    but does formal sub domain link back to the main domain play a good role at SEO?
    (since google tread sub domain as separate domain)

    IMO you should go with domain.com/blog. I don't think sub domain link back to main domain will really HELP.
