Wordpress vs Blogger?

Asked by Kevin Bru, in Affiliate Marketing
I've seen hundreds of internet marketing gurus say that we need a Wordpress blog becuase Google "love" Wordpress, therefor better SEO for your site. My question is : Isn't it more logical that Google would "love" Blogger better since it's their product?

Blogger is a Google product and it's very easy to set up, easier than WP, but WP is nuch more versatile with all the plugins you can get for it ... your focus should be on WP - no harm to have a few Blogger sites on top of it!

I think these two blog providers diiffer on the main concern of blogging. Blogger enable us to monetize our blog using free domain while WP not. For beginner like me, blogger is more user-friendly just like Franto said, but we can still get used with WP dashboard shortly, after some practices. Lots of awesome themes available; however, is another feature most I like with WP.

I have never used or wanted to use either. I started writing a NotaBlog (I hate the word Blog) on my own site but quickly got bored with it

I understand the responses. 50% between likes of wordpress and blogger. But my questions is why wouldn't GOOGLE love blogger since it's their product. I've monetized, keyword optimized, and "pinged" my blogger site but it still doesn't show-up in searches.

WordPress does have a free environment, I think, but probably less versatile than having it on your own hosting.

I used to have only a WordPress blog, but I created a Blogger blog recently, the reason being I wanted to do video tutorials about Blogger since so many people use it.

I prefer Wordpress.. they look more professional than Blogger in my opinion. Easy to install if you have a hosting account and you can setup as many as you like.

Both have pros and cons.. And I have used these two a lot. And here's my answer: If you are looking to build a real blog that is not so concern for monetization but for content, go for Wordpress. But if you want to have at least a monetization thing for a blog, go for Blogger. Wordpress does not allow Affiliate marketing at least for most affiliate systems while Blogger allows it.

From my personal experiance wordpress, I set up two blogs for the backlinks to my main site with only three posts each, and the wordpress was most of the time around third page for the searched term while blogspot blogg was even further than 10th page, not that matter since It wasn't my intention to get them ranked, just indexed, but just for the record google like wordpress for some reason

WordPress has all kinds of Affiliate Marketing Plugins - it's NOT true that WP does not allow them ... I use AffiliateZIP and others on my WP Blog "The Business Builder Group". You can get this Plugin yourself and resell it, plus use it for as many other online products and affiliates as you like to sell through or sell directly ... it's totally up to you!

@Franto... yes, it allows affiliate marketing, but they have a very strict rules in it, even in displaying ads. The thing is, you will need to have a good amount of traffic first and you affiliate marketing implementation has to be a part a huge legitimate business such as Amazon. This is why if you are just starting up and you want to at least monetize it, will be hard for you to use Wordpress.

@Vince ... did you take a look at my WP Blog "The Business Builder Group" ... it wasn't hard at all to set up ... I am able to help any one who wants to sell Affiliate Products or Recurring Income Products & Services from their WP Blog ... and do it very quickly and successfully ...
