    Hi,

    I'm looking for another blogging platform (besides blogspot) that support adsense.
    Anyone can recommend?

    And it's free. I know wordpress.com(basic) doesn't support adsense.

    Thanks
    Thong Han

    Have you tried Tumblr.com yet?
    You should also checkout some of the web 2.0 sites like Hubpages and Squidoo. They both rank well and are good for adsense revenue.

    You could use a free host like 000webhost and set up a WordPress blog on there

    I'm surprised people have not ripped into you worse than they did. I'm glad they didn't, we all make mistakes.

    You need to get away from free websites. You can do this for $20 your first month and $10 a month after that.

    You want make money right off. If you're going to do free, why not Blogspot? Moving wont cause you to start making money.

    Wordpress!!
    I love it. I recently started a new website in wordpress. The good thing is that its open source and shifting to a self hosting space is easy.

    I have used both blogger and wordpress, but I feel wordpress is cooler. Havent tried any other platform because I wanted large widget support which are difficult to get in infamous blogging platforms.

    You can self host wordpress on free webhost and you get full control of your blog

    And i think you can use adsense at blogsome but it's better to self host wordpress or use blogger instead

    Blogspot allows you to put adsense.

    I would get a selfhosted blog though. Having blog on blogger is a way risky, considering your account can be suspended anytimes.

    Nowadays getting a selfhosting blog is not expensive, especially when you will have adsense on it, you will be able to cover your hosting cost for 3 months (maximally).

    My adsense's earning for a month = 3 years hosting.

    If i can do it, you can do it too!

    That's what I'm thinking also. If they mean wordpress.com, it can never use for monetization.

    The best thing would be going for self hosted blog if you are really looking for making some money. And it doesn't cost much to have your blog hosted on a paid server. Go for a 500Mb disk space and 2 GB bandwidth with a local hos and you are done with a small price. When you start getting traffic, shift your blog to renowned host.

    With my own real experience I used Google Sites which is a very good blogging platform like Blog Spot. It offers Built in gadgets as Adsense. Also, provides more features like Blog Spot. You can try this it will help you as user friendly Blog. Hope, it gives a best solution for you.
