    I think both are equally good for SEO, but I would go with Wordpress.

    For free Wordpress themes you can check out e.g. my site wpMix.com

    You cannot compare those two platforms, as WP is much more flexible than Blogger.

    I'd go for wordpress - depends if your going for a hosted/non-hosted solution really. Wordpress is so flexible with so many plugins and SEO options - makes it so easy to use. Gets my vote

    I started with Blogger and continued with Wordpress. I like both, however Wordpress is much more modifiable, and for me it is more seo-friendly.

    Some free templates resources I would highly recommend;

    for Blogger:

    Deluxe Templates
    BTemplates

    for Wordpress:

    Blog Oh Blog
    Eblog Templates

    Sorry, I can't use links yet :rolleyes:

    Hi,

    When we talk about blogging ,both wordpress and blogger are good.
    Google loves blogspot blogs more than wordpress because Blogger is owned
    by Google. Wordpress has many useful plugins that makes blogging quite
    easy and professional and other search engines like yahoo, bing, ask.com give
    preference to wordpress over blogger.

    Hope this would be helpful

    Regards
    Mudassar Anwar

    When we heard about:

    "hosting resource restriction"
    "not enough money to buy some VPS machine"
    "server performance is get down"

    in busy blog with Wordpress self hosted that already full optimize (no scrubby plugins, no useless func. call, etc), sometimes i feel Blogger is better. I have seen Blogger with very busy traffic and its still up (no suspended, no error 500 etc...)

    Wordpress FTW.

    Better in SEO (with plugin), a lot more features than blogger (you will know after you use it) and more :D

    Cheers.

    neither, they both suck ;)
    go with your own hosted domain so you have total control.
