make a blog on new domain or subdomain?

we're in the process of greating a blog for our paysite...is it better to make the blog on a new domain name seperate from the paysite or make a sub domain ie: blog.northwestwetspot.com?

Does it matter as far as SEO goes?

I can't imagine how a subdomain can work FOR you in SEO, except the text in the url itself, and maybe the time of ownership for that domain.

Have you considered a subdirectory?

northwestwetspot.com/blog/

You'll get more SE benefits if you do it that way. :D

EDIT:

Furthermore, it's a good idea to keep the blog tied to the site, IMO. :)

That would be my suggestion as well...

I did my blogs on subdirectories rather than subdomains - getting Google and Yahoo traffic after only 2 weeks so it can't be a bad thing to do.
