However the point of this conversation is what is better for SEO. It’s clearly best to have your blog hosted at your primary domain if you care about your blog benefiting your SEO.

Some of this feels overly subjective.

Where you host your blog should coincide with your own business model, arbitrarily deciding all blogs should be hosted with your site seems to be no better advice than the example you try to tear apart.

You should always be doing what is right for you and/or your business.

As far as my knowledge goes, the url of your blog should be similar to your main site. Just the way you put it. This goes a long way to increase your page rank. Having too much external blogs is also not something very wise to do. It just makes you less focused on quality but rather quantity.

Well yes there are two flaws to this, the first is your link diversity will likely get your flagged as a spammer, and good luck getting your blog ranked if you just registered the domain yesterday.

If you place the blog at yourcompany.com/blog it can benefit from your existing domain links/trust/age and will help your domain visibility overall.

There are other reasons such as if you want a wordpress blog for OpenID and just don’t have the time to maintain a blog with cms updates. As most companies struggle to provide enough content for 1 blog, you might as well give up the idea if you want to split your time over 5 blogs…
