For purposes of this discussion, please assume that the company is interested in enhancing SERP for a handful of keywords. In other words, if the blog is on a standalone URL, its mission is to either (1) become ranked in its own right so that it can direct traffic to the company site *or* (2) enhance the rankings of the company site. Of course, if it could do both, that would be even better.
In addition, to the extent that it means anything, the company's current site index page has a modest PR of 5.
I hear arguments that you should put all of your great content on one domain, and I hear arguments that you should use all your great content to build good inbound links to your company site.
Assume that the blog content will not be purely promotional but primarily informative, and assume that blog content will be updated regularly.
Looking forward to your feedback.
