Mark’s 4th point I think is very critical as it impacts both crawling and indexing. I think you may need to reverify ownership of your site, though when you do so.

Jermaine, there’s a 4-year-old post on this from Matt Cutts saying that they are equal, which you can read at http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/subdomains-and-subdirectories/ However, I’ve read other more recent recommendations to use a subdirectory (your first example) over a subdomain (your second example). Unfortunately I don’t have them bookmarked. But I guess I would probably go with http://www.example.com/blog based on what I have seen before.

I haven’t done any of my own testing along these lines so I’m repeating what I’ve read other experts say.

On the topic of blogging, which is a better blog domain for SEO rankings:

http://www.example.com/blog
or
http://blog.example.com

Assuming example is your domain name?

What a lot of people forget is that by having 404 error pages and poor internal linking they are effectively crippling their SEO efforts.

I remember back when I started I would obsess over things like the meta tags and content but my site just wouldnt rank because of some simple (to fix) errors.

As someone said above the key to ranking in SEs is not based on facts as things change so often. If you have your site in order though you are more likely to rank well.

Two of the things that made my site jump up the rankings was a) writing unique, well written content and b)making sure the HTML is formatted correctly with CSS and js code in external files.

There is an excellent video in webmaster tools that discusses Seo – well worth a view.

I think the author and Mark present good quality tips for any ecommerce store. Of course, this was all on-site suggestions. What about off-site?
