It's right ideal. Because blogspot is google creation so google index blogspot detail. Blogs that are using the Following feature have automatically been migrated to Friend Connect, so you don't need to do a thing. And be sure to stay tuned - over the next several months, there are a number of additional features coming to Blogger as a result of today's Friend Connect integration. It os also one of the social bookmarking tools to promote your sites in the internet such as Friend Connect encourages readers to use one account (whether it's a Google account, a Yahoo, AIM or OpenID account) to follow any site - a Blogger blog, a WordPress blog, or any other site that has incorporated Friend Connect
I agree, Google will always take care of it's own first! On the other hand, Wordpress blogs get love from Google too!
That is why it is necessary to give more importance to the websites owned by Google it may help also in your campaign.
I don't think there is any crawling issue with any of blog if it is updated on regular basis whether it is created on blogger or wordpress
not same for me, google fucks the blogger now by adding no index in /SEARCH , it means every url which have the word search in it, it will not get indexed ! for example labels, or may be tags
Since creating a blog in Blogger and hosting on my own domain, I have seen the googlebot crawl my whole site far more frequently. The blog has only been live for about a month, but I'm getting increased traffic as a result.
