What Rand said. #include
So you think it's worth the move to example.com/blog even if you already have an established blog.example.com?
That said, I don't want to suggest this is always true all the time or that Google/Bing never group subdomain authorities together, just that we've seen inconsistency and thus I'd recommend keeping them together.
Ooh, look, an on-topic location to ask Patrick questions. ;) So, about that whole "subdomain" thing, as mentioned in this article. The problem in SEO is that separate subdomains accrue separate Google scores, correct? So if I was to serve my whole site from a third-tier domain, like "www.example.com", that would be okay? Provided I were not foolish enough to also put stuff on "example.com" and "other.example.com" and…
Yes, you're totally cool to use either site.tld or www.site.tld. I'd recommend using a 301 redirect of one to the other (Google and Bing are pretty good at automatically canonicalizing these, but not perfect).

That doesn't look that good looking to me.
@patio11: could you make your presentation / slide deck available for those of us who were not fortunate enough to attend in person.
I agree with all these points, except with respect to Twitter. There is one case where I have seen Twitter impact SEO and that's in getting a new URL indexed fast, and in local SEO...

What about this one http://www.bingocardcreator.com/ That doesn't look that good looking to me.
@dikbrouwer: Was the talk recorded, if so is there a youtube link? @patio11: could you make your presentation / slide deck available for those of us who were not fortunate enough to attend in person.

Also, that site has not gotten a lot of attention for a while. His focus nowadays is on the much more attractive Appointment Reminder.
Seriously Patrick, it was awesome to have you here. You were voted as the most helpful speaker at 500 we've had so far in the batch. Thanks!
