Why WordPress is Better Than BlogSpot Platform?

As a newbie blogger, the most confusing state is to decide which Blogging platform to choose.

Though, most suggested platforms are BlogSpot, WordPress, Tumblr.

Even if you use the custom domain feature (Using your domain name ), chances are high that if spammers use feature Flag as spam and report your blog as spam.

This is something very common and by doing a quick search on Google, you will realize many bloggers faced this problem while using BlogSpot.

2. Search engine optimization:

Doesn’t matter where your blog is hosted,

traffic is the first and last thing any blogger

will look for.

Comparing WordPress and BlogSpot,

WordPress offers more options to optimize

your blog for search engine where as in

BlogSpot you are limited to certain settings.

3. Plugins and support

WordPress is blessed with features like plugin and a strong community to get support. In BlogSpot, lot of time is needed to edit your theme to show related posts and adding such features. By using plugins, you can achieve anything, and if not, you can take help of WordPress support forum to get custom code and extend the capabilities of your blog.

4. Reputation :

Human tendency or perception, that most of the people doesn’t see BlogSpot with a great eye. Its free, and mass number of people are using it for Blackhat SEO, spamming and for affiliate landing pages. When talking about self-hosted blog, people think that you have paid for the service, and you are serious about your blog.

5. Theme and templates:

BlogSpot offers many templates but due to the commercial nature of WordPress, you will find unlimited free and Premium WordPress themes.

Moreover, since you have FTP access, you can alter the complete look and feel of your WordPress theme.

6. AdSense Life line for any blogger who is looking forward to making money from his blog. Initially BlogSpot used to be the best way to get your AdSense account approved, but later on it’s becoming tough to get your Adsense account with BlogSpot. With WordPress and your domain email address, getting your blog approved is very easy. Another advantage of self-hosted blog.

7. Reselling your blog:

Google strictly doesn’t allow reselling of BlogSpot blogs, but the case is different here with the self-hosted blog.

You can always resell your self-hosted blog.

8. Significance of Social Media Websites

Though if you use the custom domain, that will work. Also, many networks for bloggers like Buysellads doesn’t accept BlogSpot bloggers.

WordPress keep updating and releasing a new version, which comes with some added features and functionality, whereas, on BlogSpot, there are very few updates which happen over the time.
