Is there a reason why some use a sub-domain for their Blogs?

[akurtula]

Hi

 

I have seen that some websites have a portfolio as their home page and have their blog either as a sub-domain or as another page, so something like:

 

A) killersites.com/blog

B ) blog.killersites.com

 

Is there a logical reason why one would use A or B?

 

Thanks

You will probably get a more comprehensive answer from the gurus in here, but one logical answer comes to mind and it is simply one of organizing your website into logical modules.

 

Make sense?

I don't think so. It's just a personal choice depending on the URL structure you want.

I think its usual and have not any cause.

One reason I can think of is for having a second page that might show up at the search engines.
