    Let's discuss one by one: Blogger vs self-hosted wordpress blog

    Control:
    Blogger - mostly controlled by google
    Wordpress - full control by owner
    Advantage: wordpress

    Security:
    Blogger - files are fully secured by Google
    Wordpress - files are secured by your hosting company
    Advantage: I think Google has more security

    Value:
    Blogger - you cannot sell blogger blogs. It's against google TOS
    Wordpress - you can sell your domain plud website
    Advantage: wordpress

    ------
    More?

    In terms of SEO Wordpress is always better , because :

    -- You can optimize it better because full control is in your hand.

    -- You can use many available free plugins to optimize wordpress for SEO. This is a very important point, you can change URL structure, generate and submit sitemap with a single click , manage media / gallery , track outcome of your campaign using different types of WP plugins.

    -- You can develop custom theme not only for styling , but you can also change the structure of the site and create custom CMS as you want.(programming & design knowledge needed).

    and I think many many more...

    I started off blogging using Blogger. As I became more serious about blogging, I wanted more control, more SEO opportunities, things that Blogger did not offer. I even had an advertiser turn me down because I used Blogger and not Wordpress. So, I am in total agreement with the above comment reply.

    If you are a serious blogger, then wordpress is definitely recommended.
    It has got so many advantages with its plugins and themes.
    The plugins make the work easier for a blogger.
    Moreover you can even publish the post in a future date.
    This is possible only in Wordpress.

    Both are good but in point of SEO wordpress is good and in blogger we can place google adds but in wordpress we can't put adds.

    it depends who is the administrator. The man behind the gun. The expert can make blogger like wordpress and vice versa.

    Blogger is a beginners style blog, you can edit basic HTML, and not really play around with the inner code structure of it at all. WordPress is a beast in itself. Wordpress is heavily customizable, SEO is amazing with various SE Optimized themes available plus plugins that will enhance SEO capabilities as well.

    Each suits a different user base, each to their own with it, but from an SEO stant point, Wordpress wins hands down.
