    Hello I am starting a blog but I am not sure if I want to start it on blogger or put it on my own server on wordpress... Also with blogger I get all revenue from the adsense correct? Can anyone tell me the cons and pros of both. Also im assuming blogger doesnt allow adult blogs correct?

    Please provide any feedback possible anything will be helpful!:D

    Do that! Put it on your own server (or your own choice of host). More freedom, more control. Better results :cool:

    If you have to weigh the financial pros and cons, then there might be a slight pro for the completely free Blogger version, but otherwise no - unless you are going for a new free IP-address for better quality links building, but that's another story ;)

    i prefer to have my blogs on my own host, i normally use wordpress.

    blogger is useful if you cant afford the little bit of space that a blog takes up.

    I don't think adsense will allow you for adult content alternatively you can look for adbrite in place. Also if you blog in wordpress.com, they don't allow adsense.

    Just because you have a blogger blog does not automatically get you approved for adsense. The have a TOS that is a beast and they are very rigid in attacking the dreaded "click-fraud".

    oh i was just talking about using the wordpress script on my own server but i was wondering using services like blogspot and blogger will it help me get traffic to my site using there services? Because people will search for my blog? or is it better to start my own on my own server?
