SEO implications: www.blog.mysite.com

Hi

I have a site www.mysite.com and I want to add a blog like this www.blog.mysite.com

Are there any SEO implications to doing this or would it be better to do www/mysite.com/blog/ and if so why?

Any advice would be greatly appreciate.
thanks
t

There are advantage and disadvantages

The main advantage: can more easily help main site rank by allow it to be an entity unto itself.... and history is based on the root domain.

The main disadvantage: it won't get to usual "kick" that sub-pages get from the root domain... meaning you will need to do promotion [in additional to any current promotion you root domains get].

BUT if the blog has invaluable content - it'll promote itself.

thanks fathom

The rest of the content is basically behind a login screen (because the info needs to be secure) so the blog will primarily be used to present content on the subject matter and to get ranking for its keywords.

What would you do?
I don't really appreciate what you mean when you say that www.blog.mysite.com:

So i'm still a bit unsure as to what to go for.
thanks for your help
