Which platform do you think is the best blogging system, generally and from a marketing point of view. I am talking about online blogging platforms such as wordpress.com and blogger.com, and not scripts that you can install on your own web host. I first decided to go with wordpress.com, but found myself quite limited as to flexibility in the design templates. Then I switched to blogger.com (http://cashcowexperiment.blogspot.com), which offers a little more flexibility, but then also has its downsides, i.e. in terms of blog posting features etc. Obviously you get maximum flexibility from installing a script on your own webhost, but it is my impression that most people start out with an online solution, since it is faster and easier. Which platform do you use, and why?
Wordpress.com cant be used for commercial reasons so you are very restricted. Blogger also has its own restrictions. Its more to do with not spending money to make money rather than faster and easier. Tip: go with your own WP hosted solution. Very little restrictions, its fast, its easy and its dirt cheap.
I would say blogger, it is owned by Google and that gives you an advantage in a marketing perspective. There are tons of blogs there, you can easily build alliances with similar blogs to help each other. Also when the time comes, you can import from blogger easily to your own wordpress domain.
I would like to go with wordpress...If you have domain, you can install WP and there are many themes available for WP...Even there are lots of plugin and tools available for optimization...
