Which is better blogspot or wordpress ?

In terms of SEO, for a self hosted blog which platform is better blogspot or wordpress ?

 

wordpress is better than blogspot because wordpress has a template system, which includes widgets that can be rearranged without editing PHP or HTML code, as well as themes that can be installed and switched between. The PHP and HTML code in themes can also be edited for more advanced customizations.

 

Wordpress, just for the plugins and because they take care of the vast majority of SEO elements.

 

hands down wordpress. google favors it and it is the most dynamic

 

It don't even think it's a fair comparison...Wordpress by far. With the endless design options, easy editing, and use of plugins, I choose Wordpress over a normal website as well!

Anyday Wordpress, just he best among the blogging platforms. Google rocks but Blogger blogs are generally dull always.

 

Since you're talking in terms of SEO, I personally heard that blogger blogs get indexed at lightning speed and that Google loves them. Well, it's not weird, after all, Blogger is part of big Google. But as stated above, blogger blogs may seem a bit dull and not so creative. But personally, if I'm hosting the blog, I'd definitely go with Wordpress but otherwise, blogger.

Hope I've helped.

 

Blogger/blogspot is not self-hosted, so isn't this a loaded question? Personally I prefer WP (self-hosted) so I can do what I want with it - themes, plugins, etc. But if I'm looking to create a short and sweet site for Adsense only or for CPA offers, Blogger hands down.

 

WordPress, hands down.

 

Well, its easy ! Wordpress is simply the best !
It has also got All in one Seo Plugin which is of great use !

It's really no contest for self hosted blogs. WP beats them by a mile!

 

IMO WordPress + your own hosting somewhere like GoDaddy or HostGator + Thesis WordPress theme is the best.

 

I'll say both are not benefit much because both wordpress and blogger create a sub domain for your blog. I'll suggest blogger.co.uk and hubpage its better.

wordpress is better than blogger.

 

I have heard people saying that wordpress is better than blogspot.

 

no blogspot is better in terms of SEO i heard an article about google favors thier own service first than other service.

take a look at this http://www.yugatech.com/blog/seo/does-google-favor-its-own-blogspot/

 

I agree with this... It's EXACTLY why I stated:

in my previous post (note the bold). Getting free blog hosting might "seem" like a good idea now, but you will see just how limited "free" service really is when you need to implement redirects, have custom 404 pages, have advertisements, etc. Many free hosts block you from doing any of this.

It's soooooo much better to register your own domain and host it yourself through a paid service like GoDaddy. For $5-10 per month, you get SO much more control of your site. If you can't afford $5-10 per month then you're obviously not that serious about having your own site.

If your site is only to put up a few pics to share w/ your family then fine... the free route might be ok. But if you are looking to create a site for a business or hobby you're passionate about then get your own hosting.

I wouldn't believe everything you read. I have never seen anything that lead me to believe this. In fact it's quite the opposite. I think Google goes out of their way to be fair. Look at what happened when it was discovered that Google Japan paid bloggers to create posts about some new product they were launching. Google penalized a branch of their own company until those posts were taken down.


I think WordPress is FAR superior to Blogger for 1 reason: They have TONS of community support. There are boatloads of plugins available for WordPress that do everything imagineable including SEO. There are TONS of themes available for WordPress, many of which are SEO friendly like Thesis that I mentioned above.

 

in case it wasn't said enough, wordpress

 

WordPress, off course. Use the all in one seo pack plugin.

# For beginners, you don't even have to look at the options, it works out-of-the-box. Just install.
# For advanced users, you can fine-tune everything

 

No doubt wordpress is better .
It is more better If you host wordpress on your own server.(purchased from hosting sites like Godaddy,hostgater etc)

 

Wordpress IMO as well. Best to host your WP blog yourself as you have more control.
