@relabidin, I read the argument that Dharmesh and Rand Fiskin embattled and its interesting to read the biased view towards hubspot. You will understand that the concept of quality content is not easy and also not a copy and past agenda. Even if you start blogging at a slower pace as a beginner, you would like to reap all the benefits that come with SEO especially small businesses who pay so much to husbpot, we would love to get the best of the game. It means that aside struggling to dish out quality content to clients, we also have to bear the err of our content hosted on a subdomain. The argument is not about comparing a dead blog to a vibrant one but to compare two live blogs operating on subdomain and subdirectory. In the nutshell, aside from battling competitors for SERP, we also need to fight the fact that we are not reaping full SEO benefits for our hard work and we pay to go through this hassle. I have learned a lot from this argument and probably will inform our next round of contracts. @scottm your concern it very legitimate which unfortunately did not get any technical response --- _[View the full topic](https://community.hubspot.com/t/subfolder-vs-subdomain/531)._
