I've been reading up on all this and it seems a good way to make money online is to host several blogs with adsense utilized on them. However, the tip I was given mentioned blogger as it give you a free blog and adsense can be directly added in the control panel.

Now, I do have a hosting package with plenty of space/bandwidth and unlimited sub domains, so it wouldn't be an issue for me to just install several versions of wordpress under different directories on my own server. But I'm wondering whether I would get better exposure and have a better blog in terms of SEO if I went with blogger?

What do you think?

The recommendation to use blogger is basically because it's free. Depending on how you plan on linking between the sites some would say you're better off using different IP addresses for the site, but the advice is usually due to blogger being free.

I would host them yourself. It's always better to have more control and flexibility over your blog. Hosting services now allow so much more allotment for space and bandwidth that it almost feels free.

If you don't already have a good website rating then I suggest you go with Blogger by all means. Use blooger sites to direct links to your wordpress sites. Also direct squidoo lenses to your wordpress site and your written articles. In time your sites rating will increase past that of your blogger sites.

I think its better to host it with bloger for the simple reason that google likes it and reindexes it quite often so if you host you blog with bloger it will be picked up faster by google and other search engines

What about running my own blog AND a blogger one. I could post the majority of each post on the blogger site with a '[more]' link to the full post on my own hosted blog...?

MY wordpress blog gets indexed every time i write a new article and it is hosted on my own site. Being on blogger has no direct correlation with how much and how fast your site gets indexed. Make a blog on wordpress and blogger and post all your articles on those blogs after you put them up on your main blog.

So you recommend going for both? Would it be a good idea to only put a snippet or teaser of the whole article on the blogger ojne, and then link to the full article on my own wordpress site?

There really isn't going to be an advantage in setting up a Blogger blog just to point to your WordPress blog. The only reason for doing so is to manipulate search engines and that's going to be easy to detect. Your posts will get indexed quickly on your own hosted WordPress blog.

Setting up the two just means having two blogs to promote instead of one.

Yeah, I've got to agree with vangogh on this one. No real need to setup two - especially if it's going to be splitting your promotion efforts. I would personally just host your own WP install. It's very easy to maintain and work with, plus you get much more flexibility out of it.

Not to mention that hosted sites can get indexed just as often as a blog on blogger. Just write great content and you won't even know the difference! Traffic and, very importantly, links will get pointed your way.

Good luck!

besides the hosting issue I'd say you need to address the issue of what you are blogging about. Make sure you pick a topic that you are interested in. Just chasing keywords won't make your blog a success.

Definitely host it yourself, I would put WordPress on your blog, it is by far the best publishing platform.
