Why Blogger is (sometimes) better than Wordpress

One of the reasons why I love wordpress better than blogger is because of the large selection of free wordpress themes that are available online. As technojavi says it, "Wordpress offers the most beautiful templates that Blogger users can only dream of having". I can also attest that search engines love my wordpress blogs better than my blogspot blogs. Most of my wordpress blogs have PR 4. I find it difficult to score a PR 4 with my blogger blogs. Unfortunately, I do not use self hosted wordpress all the time. I still have a number of free hosted blogger blogs. Here are some of the reasons why choosing blogger is sometimes better than using wordpress as your blogging platform:

Blogger vs Wordpress.com

You can’t monetize your free hosted wordpress. Blogger is free for anyone to use. You can use wordpress.com as your blogging platform for free but you will not be able to earn money from your blog. Free hosted wordpress does not allow any form of advertisement including google ads and paid posts. Blogger is therefore best for blog entrepreneur wannabes who do not want to spend an investment to start a money earning blog.

Blogger vs Self Hosted Wordpress

No bandwidth limit. I always check my bandwith usage with my self hosted blogs. I already experienced my personal site being down for a few days because I exceeded the monthly bandwidth limit. With blogger, sky is the bandwith limit (lol). You can upload videos and photos regularly and expect millions of visitors a day without you worrying that you will exceed your monthly usage allotment.

No technical brouhahas. A wordpress site is nice to look at but it is difficult to set up. I spent almost half of the day setting up my first self hosted wordpress. I have to go through every hassle including deleting an entire folder in my cpanel because my hosting provider does not give support for wordpress installation. With blogger, setting up your site may even take you only 5 minutes.
