By success I mean lots of readers and traffic.

The question is, do blogs by themselves (the only thing at the site. site.com or blogs attached to a site with content (blog at site.com/blog with lots of content at site.com?)

I would say that they are attached to some site. I and a lot of others are visiting Jay Westerdals blog at Domain Tools where he's writing about domain names. Since Domain Tools is all about domains and Jays blog is like a bonus about domain names, together they attract a lot of people

Well, keeping a space for technical details (which I'm not aware of), the major factors responsible for the success (in terms of readers and traffic) of a blog are content and blog's visibility in search engines. There may be some technical differences in blog.com and site.com/blog, but I dont' think it makes any difference in terms of evaluating blog's success. The only thing to care for in present blogging arena is to improve the visibility of blog. And if a blog is marketed rightly along with king content, it can rock irrespective of the fact that it's covering a whole domain or a part of it.

Actually, this is easy enough to test...

Go to Technorati. Look at the top 20 blogs real quick, and jot down which are stand alones, and which are being used as support for some other website.

Once you do, please post the numbers back here, cause now you've got me curious as well.

I have 2 going right now myself, one as support for my seo tools site, and one just because I need a creative writing outlet. I have not updated the support on in ages... was up all hours of the night doing the other though. I have a feeling that the latter one will be more read than the former any day of the week.

I would say successful blog is attached to a main site. The success of the main site is depend also on the blog. Blog with related content and with related reciprocal link including the main site can help boost for the site.

Top 20 blog according to Technorati:
17 have their own domain
2 from blogspot
1 from typepad

Hmm, guess that answers our question.

I also believe those that stand alone are the most successful. But it always depend on content and links.
