The Case for Folders
Sections in a folder structure are seen by search engines as part of one site, so the more subsections you have, the more content your site appears to have. And we all know how much search engines just love a site that is rich in content. Folders allow you to build your site's bulk with each new section addition. Also, the PageRank in each section will be distributed throughout your whole site -- provided you have a sound internal linking structure.
The Case for Subdomains
Search engines see accommodation.capetown.co.za and www.capetown.co.za as completely different sites. Therefore, any links between subdomains will hold greater perceived weighting because they will be seen as external rather than internal links within the site.
You should choose whatever is easiest for you to organize and manage. From an indexing and ranking perspective, Google doesn't have a preference.
Oh good update David. I wondered if it still mattered. Thanks!
Yes, that's the way I do it too...I found it easy just to have the blog as a sub-domain then just link from my site to blog.
blog.mysitename.com
plus it keeps all of my stuff in one place for the site.
