Re: SEO vs SEO – Separate Blog From Main Domain?
Definitely keep it on the same domain. All that content, all those keyphrases, all those additional pages people can enter the site through, all that linkbuilding via pinging the update services, all those rss subscriptions that lead right to the main domain . . . you don't wanna dilute any of that by putting it a domain removed.
Blogger can be hosted on your own site, as Dean said, but Blogger, as far as I know, only pings one update service, which, to me, is such a downside I wouldn't use it. I'm also not sure what the status is with their feeds since they upgraded to blogger beta. Old blogger offered only atom feeds unless you went through a third party for feeds (like feedburner) which took away some of the advantage. This might be an okay fallback position if they absolutely won't move the site, but it's far from ideal.
