them has some advantages and disadvantages. There are literally
millions of blog which are hosted in blogger and wordpress but which is
the best platform for you in terms of SEO and for making money or for
beginners.
Don’t worry I am going to discuss about each of these topics one by one.
Recently I was reading a very famous internet marketing forum there I

help many beginners in deciding which blogging platform to use and which
can yield them better results both in terms of SEO and making money
with their blogs
pro tips for beginners – Choose best blogging platform if you want to build a successful blog and make money
So here we are going to see a very widely discussed topic which most of
the beginner bloggers want to know about and this will help them to kick
start their blogging journey without any doubt or confusion. I have
used both blogger and wordpress in past and present so I know few facts
which you might find very helpful So without wasting much time lets see
all the above mentioned topics one by one. Shall we? Yes you nodded
Here we will see each topic one by one because this will help you to
understand the benefits of each platform for different tasks. Since many
want to start their blog for free, many are beginners, some what to
start for business while many of us want to make money at the same time
but no worries I will explain each topic one by one so that you will not
have to refer any other blog posts for this topic and will make your
job much easier.
If you want me to answer honestly then without second thought wordpress
is more SEO friendly than blogger since it’s coded cleanly and there are
less bugs and errors because wordpress developers always keep track of
what’s best in terms of SEO. But does it means that you cannot optimze
blogger blog
Yes
you can surely optimize your blogger blog but for that you have to
manually insert meta tags, optimize header tags, optimize title tags
to show post title before blog title in blogger, Insert google
verification codes as well as if you want to insert adsense you have to
manually add code in the templates if you have set up channels to track
your ad performance which might consume lots of time but more techy
stuffs for beginners
Even when I started using blogger for the first time I had to manually
find various codes and insert it in my blogger template which used to
create quite a bit of headache but with wordpress you don’t have to
because in wordpress there are n number of plugins which can do the job
just by installing them and tweaking few settings and you are done
Apart from this technical stuffs I have found that wordpress posts get
much higher ranking in search results as compared to blogger posts and
again the reason behind it that you coding is neat and clean and the
plugins enhance it and make it perfect to ranking higher in Google and
other search results
Earlier when I used to write post title in blogger I was always worried
that whether Google will chop my title being too long and many time they
did and I have to use the third party sites for this but with wordpress
there is a superb plugin which I am sure that you must have heard about
is SEO by yoast plugin it’s one of the best SEO plugins in wordpress
and you can check all the best plugins resources and I am sure that this
plugins will be there. By using this plugin you can make your blog
posts seo friendly right away from wordpress dashboard which is not
available in blogger platform and you have to manually optimize your
blog posts and I know not every body is good with SEO So WordPress will
help you in this also.
Now this is the most interesting part which interests most of the
bloggers no matter they are beginners or pro bloggers everybody wants
to make money by blogging So how exactly this is affected by blogger vs wordpress and which blogging CMS will help you to make more money. Lets see
You must have heard about Google adsense it is the most popular and
widely used advertising networks for bloggers and website owners. If you
are beginner then you just have to apply for google adsense and when
you blog or website will
start a free blog and make money then
you just have to place small snippets of code in your blog to make
money for free. It’s is easy enough yes it easy So lets see which
blogger or wordpress will enable you in making money as well.
Since Google adsense is one of the most popular advertising networks but
it’s not the only one there are many other advertising networks and
monetizing methods by which you can make money by blogging and Google
adsense is among one of them
One advantage of using blogger here over wordpress is that if you are
having good number of quality blog posts in your blogger blog then your
adsense approval chances is increased by a lot since it’s a Google both
are Google products and Google will give a share of luck for those who
are using Blogger platform over wordpress but this is not hard and fast
rule but helps a lots and I have seen many bloggers getting google
adsense approval by using blogger blog
But if you want to make more money by blogging then here also WordPress
wins because if you will ask many pro bloggers they are not using
adsense at all on their blogs or websites because they have found many
other monetizing methods which are earning them handsome amount of money
like
- Affiliate Marketing
- Sponsored Reviews
- Buysellads
- Consulting
- SEO services etc
So if you want to maximize your money making potential then you must
give more preference to wordpress because there are many advertising
networks which don’t accept blogger blog one of them is very famous
advertising network which is buysellads. And there are many blogger who
are using buysellads to make good money from their blogs. Apart from
this there is affiliate marketing which is considered as one of the best
and mostly liked monetizing methods used by most of the probloggers and
the results are awesome.
Since there are many wordpress affiliate programs which you can
participate and promote them on your blog like premium wordpress themes,
plugins and software which you must promote only when you are using
wordpress however you can still promote all these products while using
blogger but you will not make money why? because you are using blogger
and are promoting wordpress products. It’s like you are recommending
products and services to your visitors which you are not using and this
is not at all going to help in affiliate marketing
Apart for this if you still are in love with Google adsense then it’s
great but for adding the adsense code manually inside your blogger
header or footer is a daunting task and you will have to tweak your
blogger templates but by using wordpress there are many plugins which
make this task easier
If you are beginner and have just started blogging then you can start
with blogger and when you are familiar with how to blog and various SEO
tips and tricks then you can migrate from blogger to wordpress and I
think it’s the best way for any beginner who want to start a blog and
have confusion about wordpress vs blogger.
To be honest I also started using blogger and later on moved to
wordpress as I gained more experience and wanted more functionality and
give more professional look to my blog. There are many big bloggers who
have started in this fashion because blogging is not for all some will
find it interesting and will move on to become a full time blogger while
many of them will quit blogging after few months. So to test and see
that blogging is the right choice for you or not you can start with
blogger then move to wordpress later.
Blogger platorm is free but there are 2 types of wordpress blog one is
similar to blogger which is free and the other is self hosted wordpress
blog which I recommend if you are serious about blogging or want to
start a blog for your business.
Self hosted blogs are not free like blogger because you have to buy
hosting and domain name for you blog but with blogger you don’t have to
pay anything literally you can
start a free blog and make money but for wordpress you have to buy hosting.
Although there is wordpress.com which offer free hosting which is
similar to blogger but again this is not way close to self hosted
wordpress blog in terms of the ease of use and functionality which you
are going to get with self hosted wordpress blogs
So I think that this comparion and review of wordpress vs blogger has
been dominated by wordpress and yes it’s will definitely enhance your
blogging experience and will save lot of time effort and money. I would
recommend that if you want to start a blog or website for your business
to strictly go for wordpress rather than blogger but for beginners you
can opt for blogger since you can just learn blogging basics and then
move on to wordpress as time goes on and I think this is the best
strategy which I used personally and by many other probloggers
