Benefits of blogging on Blogger

Blogger and wordpress are the two famous and mostly used blogging platforms . For many new bloggers who do not wish to spend money on domains and web hosting these are the only two options apparently available. Many people start their blogs with wordpress freely hosted service but they forget some very important things which I will discuss in this article.
Here I will describe what are the benefits which I am getting from blogger over other blogging softwares available.

Free from the problems of hosting:
So you don’t know how to upload files through ftp ? or you are sick of messages like “No nodes available for your requests” or “server is down” ? I have seen many a times these messages and now I think why should I bother about hosting when blogger can get my content hosted for free and its 100% reliable. No hassles of uploading scripts and then remembering settings for database, ftp etc
Free to put your ads and earn money:
Many free hosting platforms including wordpress.com do not allow you to post your ads. If you want to put ads on your wordpress blog then you’ll have to host it somewhere where the host allows you to put ads. For beginners I know its not wise to throw money on hosting unless you know you have hundreds of viewers and you’ll earn a lot.
Close coupling with other google services:
Blogger allows you to use many free service on your blog . each and every service of google has has more or less a decent connection with blogger .Adsense, feedburner, picassa and youtube to name a few .
Search engine friendly pages:
Since blogger is a part of google the chances of blogger pages getting into google are higher . After few days of getting your blog up you will have you blog’s pages indexed at google and that’s what I have seen many times .you don’t have to go for any hard work like putting meta tags etc in your pages . But you can do these for further benefits and higher rankings in google.
Thousands of themes and widgets available:
Unlike wordpress you don’t have to choose from given templates. There are thousand of free and premium templates available on Internet and you can customize them further also. Hundreds of widgets are also available or if you want you can put your custom javascript/text for any purpose.
Growing developers and bloggers community:
As more people are getting attracted towards this service the blogger’s community is growing and all the support is available. You can get any of your blogger problem solved in few a minutes very easily. Also there are hundreds of tips and tricks available to spice up your content and attract more visitors.
Use your custom domain:
Its very easy to redirect to your bloggers hosted blog from your custom domains. For example if you have yourname.com then you can access your blog from that domain easily and you don’t have to pay to blogger for it. Your blog will still be hosted there. Unlike wordpress where you have to pay 15$ if you but domain from them.

OK so if I have put much for you guys to get attracted to blogger. In case I have left any important point please do let me know through comments and I’ll add it here. Best wishes for your new blogger’s blog .http://techasad.blogspot.com/2008/10/benefits-of-blogging-on-blogger.html
