    hi guys

    I have a car classified website. BUt i want to create a BLOG.

    So i was going to create a subdomain like BLOG.MYDOMAIN.com

    Stick with blog or news. The SEO build you get from adding a keyword to the subdomain isn't worth the loss of correct navigation ( since someone will view it and say "WTF does this subdomain mean?" ) . Remember, the time spent on a site counts to Google too, so if people are getting confused searching for your site, the faster they leave, the more it will hurt your popularity.

    If you need some SEO, just be sure to put a keyword in the title tag somewhere.

    it all depends on what the domain name is + if its happens ot be the keyword your after.. If not, then make the subdomain the keyword you want

    This is what I was going to suggest you. Make your website navigation clear so that users won't get confused. Thanks mariobaez for the help.

    What mariobaez said. Your idea is borderline keyword stuffing.

    Always try to avoid the sub-domain of your blog because it affects your search listing, mainly when your started a sub-domain blog & deleted it in half a month...
