    Hi,

    some people say wordpress is the best for creating an online shop, cos it automatically submit our site to the SEO engines. Some says blogger. I am confused, which one is the best?

    Both have pros and cons.
    But in my point of view wordpress on own hosting, is better bet !

    Yes, self hosting with a dedicated IP is best.

    If you are going for the free route, blogger is the best since you can use adsense where the freely hosted wordpress cannot.

    Ofcourse self hosted wordpress is best. But your blog will gain good populairty if it is a blogger since it belongs to google. For money purpose blogger is best.

    To be honest, I wouldn't trust a shop to a website, it's best to have your own hosting, if you need an online shop, I would suggest using Joomla with VirtueMart or ZenCart.
    You can have a look at the shops in my signature, they were created on Joomla 1.5 and VirtueMart

    Wordpress is the best for blogging.

    Your OP is confusing as you say you want it for an online shop ?? If you want a shop, then use Joomla & Virtuemart, as they are very easily customised and administered.

    you mean using free hosted wordpress cannot insert the adsense, free hosted means using xxxx.wordpress.com this kinda address? What if i have my own domain name but using wordpress tools to create my website?
