    Blogger VS wordpress which one is better? when we talk about seo nothing else. i have a blog in blogger and I get 60 visitors per day. I am planning to transfer it to wordpress in my own hosted server. Is it worth doing that. I am only concerned about the number of visitors. Do I get a better place in google search results f I do that.
    Thank you.

    i think wp is better but only if you got hosting it yourself and use plugins but blogger will index much fast cause it is from google

    I personally prefer Wordpress because you can get thousands of free ad ons to manage every aspect of blogging online. However you also get a alot of spam with wordpress, despite IP banning ad ons and if you are running a large site wordpress can be very sluggish. Overall I would opt for wordpress

    Blogger Vs Wordpress is not a question to make blogs but you can earn money from any blogs and we can discuss about it further because both are having many facility to the users and interesting to use both for free.

    I started off with Blogger and it took me ages to swap over. There is so much more to offer in WordPress, with lots of SEO plugins. Having said that, SEO is SEO, there is no easy way whichever format you use.

    Blogger is better in the initial start up stage since it gets a bit of google love. But soon after wordpress sites take over and keep growing while that same blogger site will remain stagnant over time.

    Answer: Go with Wordpress. It's a little bit more start up work but the plugins and customization are unsurpassed in regard to effort.

    if you're talking about the wordpress on your own hosting then it is better than blogger as you can do tons on it to suit your taste. But if blogger vs wordpress (free hosting) then i'll go with blogger. because its owned by google so go figure, it'll rank easier.

    Personally I recommend Blogger If you do not have money for buying yourself a web hosting account or a domain, arguably mainly based on the fact that Wordpress.com doesnot allow you to have ads on your blog while on the other hand Blogger allows you to put adsense ads as well as you can put advertisements from other providers. And If you can manage your own hosting then the is no denying that Wordpress is the best platform you can use for your blog. Since Wordpress has so many plugins and themes it can be configured according to your fancy. And ya you can put your ads in that also.

    And yes about SEO it seems sometimes Google does side a bit along with Blogger blogs in terms of ranking but if you have a nice blog and can pull a lot of visitors you do not need to worry about wordpress also. There are a lot of plugins for SEO for wordpress too

    If you are going for hosted option.. then Blogger is better.
    But, if you have your own hosting and domain, Wordpress leads by a mile.

    If you're really getting 60 vistors per day.. then its not worth to spend useless money for wordpress.
    My preference is blogger as its very easy to manage and its owned by google (so... better rankings in google).
    I've a blogspot blog which is ranking very well for major keywords in my niche (alexa is 19 thousand)... so, blogger seo is also good.

    I also don't think that the blogging platform affects SEO in any way. But I would choose Blogger over Wordpress because of ease of use.

    In this question, I prefer wordpress because it is very convenient and user friendly. I used blogger so many times and it's so inconvenient because you can't edit and the templates looks different in design but they are all same. Unlike in wordpress you are free to choose different stylish templates that is related to your niche and also you can add some plugins to spice up your blog.

    Hello...

    Blogger is crappy and has nothing to offer (Imho), while wordpress offers tons of plugins for everything...
