Everyone says WordPress is better than Blogger for your business blog.

Since nobody’s mentioned it, it’s worth noting that Huffington Post is the largest and most trafficked blog online, and they do not use WordPress.

Huffington Post uses Blogger (or BlogSpot, whichever you want to call it), which is Google’s blogging platform. Though the free version sucks, with a little money, Google’s own platform is much easier to use if you just want to focus on blogging, and I had plenty of SEO success on it when I used it.

I eventually transferred to WordPress and hosted a free site on their servers until I couldn’t take it anymore and had to buy my own domain and host my own site. 

The only reason I moved my business elsewhere was because I was hit with a court case over blowing the whistle on Bank of America and Blogger deleted my blog and all its analytics without even notifying me or giving me a copy of the court order.

I lost everything and had to struggle to recreate my site from scattered backups. I was pissed and will never use Blogger again for that reason, though the UI and functionality beat WordPress easily.

And for the record, all these responses assume you use the free platform, so to clarify this thread for anyone reading it that’s not familiar, what’s being said is using the default (free) domain of yoursitename(dot)wordpress(dot)com looks more professional than yoursitename(dot)blogspot(dot)com or yoursitename(dot)weebly(dot)com. 

None of those looks to me like anything but a blog, but you will notice that more professional SEO speakers at workshops and seminars in every industry promote WordPress over the others. It doesn’t in any way mean anything. It’s just looked at as “oh hey, here’s a blog.” 

One just happens to be from a law firm too cheap to pay for a vanity URL while the other is from some kid who can’t afford a vanity URL.

They’re all blogs, though a professional who works all day has more detailed informational blogs while a kid reads about it all day and knows the overviews. Search algorythms don’t care, though they’ll favor the detailed info in the context of search terms.

The only way to make your blog look like a more professional website is to pay to remove the (dot)bloghostingsite from the URL because people on the whole would rather visit Walmart(dot)com over Walmart(dot)WordPress(dot)com, though there is a demographic of blog enthusiasts.

So it doesn’t matter which hosting service you use, and the numbers SEO experts quote are only true because they’re selling them to the business leaders in conferences. It’s all a bunch a misguided bs that does not in any way affect your actual search rankings. What matters is quality content. Period.

Know your audience and stop listening to snake oil salesmen who don’t know what they’re selling you, because search engine optimization takes on a whole new meaning in a M2M environment where you can push an Amazon Dash button to place an order without ever touching the Internet yourself.
