Why are Wordpress Blogs so superior to BlogSpot/Blogger?

Posted by Mahmood Bashash | Monday, June 15, 2009 | , | 0 comments »

-Credibility: BlogSpot is not taken seriously. Because hosting and domain are so inexpensive, consumers wonder why a successful, reputable business would team up with a free blogging service. And the truth is – real businesses don’t use BlogSpot.

-Difficult to Remember: A BlogSpot address is cumbersome to share with new contacts and twice as difficult for them to remember. And did you know that many corporate networks now ban BlogSpot sites because the content in many of them is inappropriate and are simply Splogs (Spam Blogs).

-Hard to find: Despite being owned by Google, BlogSpot sites are not featured in Google searches as prominently as real web sites or blogs. BlogSpot sites are indexed less frequently by the search engine spiders. Google ranks sites on many factors and ‘authority’ is a major one. And having a BlogSpot domain is the opposite of authority.

-BlogSpot is like renting. No matter what you do to improve your BlogSpot site, you don’t own it. BlogSpot can shut down your site for any reason at any time. They have total control and reap any long term benefits of your hard work. Why invest time and money into bringing traffic and long term visitors to someone else’s site?

-Freedom: Features for BlogSpot are less than 10% of what’s available on blogs like Wordpress. Once you see what you can do with Wordpress, you’ll feel a little like your BlogSpot site is a car with no air conditioning, manual windows, and no radio! Wordpress is faster, more efficient, more attractive – and far more profitable.
