Wordpress I think is better than Googles Blogger. The main thing I hate about Blogger is that they dont have a stats system. You cant check your stats unless you add a counter. Wordpress has a nice stats system and i think Wordpress blogs get more hits from searched within the Wordpress network. If you want to make money make a wordpress site with some dating affiliate links.

I agree. Having used both, Wordpress is by far a much more powerful platform. Blogger is really no more than just a consumer end user solution with limited options. Wordpress however is a complete app that gives you incredible control for customization and taking away all the drudgery of programming.

Blogger is not extendable. But wordpress has lots of plugins to extend its features! You can run even a ebay affiliates stores in a wordpress platform

word press is the way to go - it is by far the best CMS system out there - though everyone looks at it as a blogging platform which it really isnt

Cool forum!

WP gets my vote. However I also use blogger and link it to my other sites. Same with wordpress.com you cannot advertise at wordpress.com but you can have links

Wordpress is the best software ever. Anybody can get a $1.99 domain at GoDaddy and a $5 per month Wordpress hosting account and be on your way to really blogging.

Blogger can have stats by using google analytics. That is what my technical guy told me. I believe that should place it on part with Wordpress. Also Blogger should get into google must faster than wordpress!

Hello,

This has been a burning question on my mind lately. I did get alot of tips on this thanks to this topic and all the great replies. I thank you all for sharing these great tips and ideas. I do use both Blogs myself but have not seen as much as I seen here as to so many different options. This is why it's said to always keep learning and growing daily.

Keep up the great work!

Why wordpress is better:

You can import any other old blogs you on onto wordpress
There are hundreds of free themes for wordpress
Wordpress is alot more flexible then blogger
Blogger is a little amauturist
Blogger do not rank better then wordpress if you have your own domain.
It is so easy to customize everything in wordpress if you know alittle bit of CSS and HTML

Blogger is to wordpad as Wordpress is to microsoft word.

I almost forget to mention IMHO nothing beats WP for SEO. Hardly anything needed and most of all Google loves WP :001_tt1:

Using blogger for a free blog is actually not a bad idea. In fact, it's probably much better.
  • It ranks well (sometimes VERY well)
  • Lets you modify HTML and CSS easily
  • Is easier to work with than WP
  • And is adsense compatible
But if you are hosting your own blog, WP ownz big time.

wordpress is far more better than blogger but in the sense of getting approved by adsense blogger is good if you use adsense.

Wordpress ftw!

I am only saying this because its the only platform that i've used and its simply amazed me from since i've used it.

Wordpress is so flexible that now it can run fully optimized galleries such as CssCatwalk and so on.

So Wordpress for me.

Both has its own advantage and disadvantage.

it depends on the flexibility and functions one needs. This topic helps which to choose when required. Good topic.
