I’ve got a niche domain that’s unused right now where I may try this out to see how it works.

Great Post!

I have experienced both WordPress and Blogger and found that they are similar up to some extent. It depends, what is your reason to use them.

WordPress is extremely easy to use and it also has support of lots of themes to make your site good looking. And WordPress is having great flexibility and user friendliness, even novice users can work with WordPress without investing much effort.

Between free and paid CMS, it is always better to opt Paid one because it give your great authority to maintain your Blog/Domain.

Hi Top Coafuri,

This is a setting you can adjust inside the Blogger control panel. You can show your comments on-page if you wish. Also, you can use third party commenting solutions, such as Disqus.

Hi Home DIY,

Neither will have a particular advantage so far as ranking goes.
Basically, it’s going to involve which site gets the best links. When this article was originally written, Blogger had a slight advantage in initial indexing although this doesn’t seem to be as strong now.

To see just how competitive Blogger blogs can be in terms of SEO, do a search on competitive terms like ‘lost spoilers’ or ‘make money online’

I actually use both, and they both have their ups and downs. If I had to make a choice I would choose Wordpress, as I have more experience with it.

I would also say both are great for SEO, maybe blogger is a bit better because it is Googles baby.

Great article comparing the two. I’ve got both a blogspot and a wordpress blog and pretty much agree with what’s been laid down here. We (a friend and I) are teaching a blogging class to some learning-in-retirement types in a couple weeks and I’m here doing research.

Plan to put up a blog or two or twenty in the class and good info like this blog is like finding gold. A big THANKS!!!

This article is very good but you missed to include the SEO part… Which one has an advantage in SEO… Which one is easy to rank _self hosted wordpress or blogger?

Take a look at the following:

nichekeyword.blogspot.com
nichekeyword.com

Thanks

Great comparison. The most important part to me is Google and Google loves Blogger. It has been very helpful for me. I just wish I could figure out how to get my images larger.

One other comparison is the difference of how each handle leaving comments. Wordpress allows a handy comment box with the post. An annoying feature of Blogger is that it opens another window that does not match the theme of your blog.
