    I am using blogger from more than a year .
    I have god content on my blog and most of the posts are worth thousand hits according to me .

    I know I am not a truly dedicated blogger , and don't stand in the list of pro bloggers,
    but my blogs content is good .


    So please tell me is this happening due to blogger ?
    Should I shift my blog from blogger to wordpress ?

    :cool:

    I think most of the things you can improve with wordpress you can improve in blogger but you need to improve it.

    You need post everyday or almost everyday to get the best result. Atleast in the beginning but the content is always the most important. Maybe get some traffic to your blog also? Traffic does improve google results. I usually drop some keywords rank in google when I stop sending traffic from ptc sites.

    wordpress is better than blogger........and professional blogger Amit agrawal has shift his blog labnol.blogspot.com to www.labnol.org. There are so many plug in to make your blog search engine friendly(ie. all in one seo plug in, spam protection plug in, fast crawling with best ping services).

    I think, you should not wait and switch to wordpress..........and enjoy your blogging activities.

    wordpress is better than blogger but the main thing is that both get index by Google instantly.

    The advantage of wordpress over blogger in terms of SEO is due to SEO plugins such as the infamous all-in-one seo pack

    Of course, using wordpress would help due to its seo plugins and auto pinging facility but if you are seriously looking to increase your traffic, you need to network your blog with like minded blogs/sites as well.
    Basically, you need to spread the awareness of the existence of your blog on the internet.

    Posting daily is a hard task to do .
    As I am a student with studies I have other activities too .
    In this case I will have to post whenever I get the free time and the topic as well .

    Thank you

    if your blog is hosted in blog spot than it's better than wordpress, but if you are talking about self hosting blog, wordpress is best for it. with self hosting wordpress blog, you can use lots of plugins to optimize your blog and also can use lots of theme options to make your blog nice designed.

    Wordpress is the best, blogs using wordpress will be indexed more faster than blogger. This is what i think from my experience, may be others will be different.

    The very good thing about blogger is this:

    - It is hosted by Google, and so it is free
    - You will never be slave of updates and plugins versions
    - It always works :)

    More and more people are switching from Blogger to WordPress, don't you think their must be some reason behind it? WordPress is easy to use, free, easily customizable and a lot more S.E.O friendly as per my own experience. whenever you create a new post on WP blog it will automatically ping various sites and your post gets crawled within a fraction of minutes and sometimes in seconds. that's one of the best thing i like in WP.
