Link to Main Site in Subdomain

Hi,

I've recently just had someone install a wordpress blog as a subdomain on my website. I am just transferring my posts onto that blog just now, and have been adding links into each post directing to my main website domain and to other articles on the subdomain blog. Should I be doing this in every post or am I better to not add a link in every post? Also, does adding links in every post directing to the blog and the main website have any negative effects with Google? Or is this a good thing to be doing? Also, would links from the subdomain blog to the main website be counted as inbound or outbound links?

Thanks

    I believe subdomain links only go one-way - i.e. links from your main site to your subdomain pass juice, but from the subdomain to the main site they do not.

    If you want people reading your blog to also visit your main site, why not just set up a blogroll widget to go on every page?

      It's basically when I mention certain products in my posts I put an anchor link on these keywords to take them to that product. I have been doing this on most posts but not sure if this is bad or good.

    If you want to always link to your products using certain keywords, there are plugins for that

      What plugin do you recommend? So my links from subdomain to main domain would be outbound links? As I said I'm linking to my main domain purely so that people who look at my blog can see my products also.
