Blogger is popular but not flexible. Wordpress is flexible, you can design it to ur taste and to what you wanna blog about. The beauty of wordpress is way above blogger, although, it is not popular, but it helps to create a forum like website. In fact, it is the best when it comes to replying or joining a conversation. It's simply amazing 1 Like |

Wordpress for life....Blogger is too restrictive...it is like comparing the android and iOS platform. one is open source, the other is closed. wordpress has enough of plug ins and codings that you can manipulate. Although there is nothing with pros that doesn't have cons...wordpress can be sometimes expensive....going premium is like $99. but wordpress still do it for me sha...check out my wordpress blog : https://scribeofyahweh./ |

I prefer Blogger. In terms of security, I'll rank Blogger higher. There was a time I used WordPress for my site and the homepage was defaced by some Iranian hackers. You cannot try that rubbish with Blogger. Blogger is also owned by Google so that might also influence things like page rank and searches. But then again, you don't really own your Blogger blog because Google might seize it at anytime, well, at anytime you run contrary to their rules and regulations. |

I use blogger. Though I do eye wordpress templates when I see some people's sites. But then again blogger gives you a little insight into codes. And that makes blogger a better template. As you're not just there to consume but know something about the makings of what you're using. Blogger it is! |

1. Ownership Blogger is a blogging service provided by the tech giant Google. It is free, reliable most of the time, and quite enough to publish your stuff on the web. However, it is not owned by you. Google runs this service and has the right to shut it down, or shutdown your access to it at any time. With WordPress, you use a WordPress hosting provider to host your own site. You are free to decide how long you want to run it and when you want to shut it down. You own all your data, and you control what information you share with any third party. 2. Control Blogger is a fine tuned service with very limited tools allowing you to perform only specific tasks on your website. The things you can do on your blog are limited, and there is no way you can extend them to meet a need. WordPress is an open source software, so you can easily extend it to add new features. There are thousands of WordPress plugins allowing you to modify and extend the default feature set such as adding a store to your website, creating portfolio, etc. When comparing WordPress vs Blogger for business websites, then WordPress is hands down the best long-term solution for any serious business owner. 3. Appearance Blogger by default only provides a limited set of templates to use. You can modify the colors and layout of these templates using the built-in tools, but you cannot create your own layouts or make modifications. There are some non- official Blogger templates available, but those templates are usually very low quality. There are thousands of free and premium WordPress themes which allow you to create professional looking websites. There is a WordPress theme for just about every kind of website. No matter what your site is about, you will find plenty of high quality themes which are easy to modify and customize. 4. Portability Moving your site from Blogger to a different platform is a complicated task. There is a significant risk that you will loose your SEO (search engine rankings(, subscribers, and followers during the move. Even though blogger allows you to export your content, your data will stay on Google’s servers for a very long time. Using WordPress, you can move your site anywhere you want. You can move your WordPress site to a new host, change domain name, or even move your site to other content management systems. Also if you compare WordPress vs Blogger SEO, then WordPress offers way more SEO advantages. 5. Security Using Blogger you have the added advantage of Google’s robust secure platform. You don’t need to worry about managing your server’s resources, securing your blog, or creating backups. WordPress is quite secure, but since it is a self hosted solution you are responsible for security and backups. There are plenty of WordPress plugins that make it easier for you. 6. Support There is limited support available for Blogger. They have a very basic documentation and a user’s forum. In terms of support, your choices are very limited. WordPress has a very active community support system. There is online documentation, community forums, and IRC chatrooms where you can get help from experienced WordPress users and developers. Apart from community support, there are many companies offering premium support for WordPress. Check out our guide on how to properly ask for WordPress support and get it. 7. Future Blogger has not seen any major update since a very long time. We have seen Google kill their popular services such as Google Reader, Adsense for feeds, and the possible demise of FeedBurner. Future of Blogger depends on Google, and they have the right to shut it down whenever they want. WordPress is an Open Source software which means its future is not dependent on one company or individual (Check out the history of WordPress). It is developed by a community of developers and users. Being world’s most popular content management system, thousands of businesses around the globe depend on it. The future of WordPress is bright and reassuring. We hope this WordPress vs Blogger comparison helped you understand the pros and cons of each to help you make the right decision for your business. 4 Likes |

SirShymexx:What do you mean for novice? Do you know how google index and SEO works? You'd hate your "IT head" if after years of your original contents you are no way near the first 5 pages of search engines. |
Re: Wordpress Vs Blogger! Which Is Better? by ITbomb(m): 1:17pm On Apr 28, 2015 |
Blogger If you want to start smart and without much expenses, go for blogger. Within weeks of running on blogger, my blog got a first page search result hit. To achieve same in WordPress would mean lot of expenses and SEOs. Smart choice Start with blogger Build your followership and page views Get a domain name and promote it Always backup your blog, in case Mama Google misfire (export) If you need to expand just open and host WordPress, export your blog content, redirect your domain If you have strong followership, they would not notice All these shouts about plug-ins is what scares me from visiting a WordPress blog, they slow down the blog and in some cases / browsers , the blog may not load at all. Google will accept yourname..com for adsense but never yourname. Don't Miss Everyday Tech News, Tweaks And Tips. . CLICK HERE 2 Likes |

I think the question should be which one will fetch u more money. I tried registering for adsense and was not accepted cos my blog has on it. Am thinking of moving to blogger cos ppl who use it have no probs getting adsense. I realy need advice on how to make money from blogging. Anyone here who can help me get the site self hosted at a cheap price or how i can improve it. The site is on my signature. I get lots of traffic on it daily. Contact me amadiprincewill1@gmail.com |
