Blog on domain only, or fed from blogger site?

[J]

q1 = yes it would be better to end blogger, because your site does not get credit for your work

q2 = google owns blogger, which do you think they will give more authority to? your site or theirs?

fwiw...we are going to be testing some ideas on blogging over the next few months. our main site is strictly an ecommerce html type site for over 2 years now. the testing will be done as a subdomain blog

EDIT: here's my thinking on your renewed question

blog.mywebsite.com = an add on domain for the blog portion, which means that it gets credit for its own creations

mywebsite.com/blogs/blogname = subdomain - think of it like a 3rd level folder of the parent site which passes credit to the domain

however, if you want to improve on the pass thru move the blog up one level eg: mywebsite.com/blogname this would make it easier to link to the main site if that is your goal

btw...thanks for an interesting question as it makes you think
