Wordpress vs Blogger
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008This is a very common questions that I get asked.
Would you recommend using Wordpress or Blogger for a blog? Which is better? Why?
Well, first of all it really depends what you are trying to achieve. If you are just trying to run an online diary for yourself, either one is good, however if you are pursuing specific goal, then I would recommend you one of them.
For example, if you are trying to get a blog to rank in the search engines, get many readers and make money online I would definitely recommend Wordpress. Wordpress has SEO ready structure and allows you to insert various plugins that can help you rank in the search engines and make your blog function the way you want it. On the other hand, Blogger is much simpler platform and is not so flexible, however easy to deal with.
In terms of ranking on search engines, you can really get both platforms to work, its all mainly to do with incoming links. The social bookmarking plugins in wordpress automate the process of getting backlinks to your posts/pages which really makes big difference.
I must warn you however, wordpress requires a lot of customization in order for it to work efficiently. If you are not familiar with web design and CSS I would recommend you getting someone setting wordpress for you.
