If a contest were to take place between Wordpress and Blogger, which one would come out the winner? Here we explore the pros and cons of both sites. Then you can be the judge of whether Wordpress or Blogger is right for your blogging needs.
Both Blogger and Wordpress are free but if you desire a self-hosted Wordpress site you will have to buy a domain and hosting package. If you want to have only one blog then this is not a huge deal but if you want to have a lot of blogs all at once then the money can really add up. Blogger by contrast, is free in every way.
If control is important to you then Wordpress is better for you as it allows for more creative control over your blog. Blogger is owned by Google and therefore the blog you create must conform to their standards. If they choose to change the set up or layout of their blogs then you have no say over that. In other words, the Google rules are the rules that your blog must adhere to, no questions asked.
Wordpress is extremely user friendly for anyone and everyone. It is a content management system (CMS) that offers a tremendous amount of styles, themes, colors and layouts. Customization could not be any simpler than it is with the blog host Wordpress. Wordpress allows its users to create as many different types of themes as they wish, and plug ins abound at Wordpress.
On the other hand, Blogger is simple to use but is not easy to customize at all. You more or less have to use whatever is in front or you as opposed to modifying it to work for you. If you know enough about computers you will be able to make some small changes in style and color at Blogger but the emphasis here is on the word small.
Going back to the topic of plug ins, Wordpress comes out ahead of Blogger when it comes to plug ins. In fact the site offers new plug ins and themes for users almost on a daily or weekly basis. Blogger does offer some add-ons for its users as well as some templates but there is less to choose from.
When it comes to search engine optimization, Blogger comes out ahead of Wordpress because it is owned by Google and Google is the top rated search engine around. Blogger is a subdomain from the Google domain which helps out its ability to be search engine optimized with ease. The default templates for Blogger are relatively SEO friendly.
Wordpress is lacking in this department and it can be difficult for Google to become familiar with a domain that originates from Wordpress. Rapid indexing techniques can be put to use for your Wordpress account but search engine optimization is still a challenge for a blog hosted by this service.
As far as the online marketplace is concerned, Wordpress is better known and more respected. On the other hand, blogs created at Blogger are often viewed as full of spam and it is not uncommon for blog directories to refuse to recognize them.
