Make Money From Home Today

One of the big questions I get asked quite often is which blog platform to use. The two largest blog platforms are Blogger and WordPress.

Actually it’s a pretty trivial question and to be truthful either one will work. What’s really important is the content that you put on the blog.

Ultimately, the content will be the deciding factor that makes your blog a success or a failure. With that being said, today I would like to explore some of the advantages of using Blogger.com as your blogging platform.

One of the biggest advantages of using Blogger.com as your blog platform is that Blogger is owned by Google. Since Google happens to be the largest search engine on the planet, some people feel that Google will naturally favor a Blogger blog over a WordPress blog. That is, of course, if the content was of similar quality.

Although Blogger doesn’t have nearly as many plug-ins, tools or add-ons as WordPress does, it is a lot simpler to use. In addition, Blogger allows you to use your blog for commercial purposes when it’s hosted with Blogger. That means you can use your blog to make money.

WordPress frowns upon commercial sites hosted at wordpress.com and will actually shut down your blog if they catch you doing it. But this rule doesn’t apply when you’re using a WordPress blog hosted on your own domain.

So there you have it, the advantages of using Blogger for your blog. Next time we’ll explore the advantages of using WordPress as your blogging platform so that you can make an informed decision on which blogging platform is best for you.
