Which is better:Blogger or WordPress?

Updated on March 16, 2013

Blogs are the better platform to express ones view or to promote anything. It is not possible for everyone to create websites, but it is surely possible for everyone to create blogs. The main reasons behind the blogs popularity are : they can be created free of charge, and they are very user friendly. Nowadays the most popular free Blog provider are Blogger and WordPress. Both of them has got their own pros and cons. Let us discuss it in details.


WordPress has got more widgets, themes and other choices

It is very essential to make our blog looks attractive, reader friendly and linking it to other websites. Blog provides various widgets or gadgets to fulfill the above criteria. Blogger provides 28 widgets and WordPress provides 41 widgets. Blogger provides 7 themes and WordPress provides 225 themes.

WordPress provides the facility of importing or exporting the blog. Free WordPress Blog can also be upgraded to select various domains.


Blogger provides Meta Data facility

As we all know that Title tags are very important for getting the blogs or websites on top ranking, Blogger provides such great facility. With the help of a HTML editor we can create our own Title tag. We can also create the Description tag of our own choice.


Blogger provides Google Analytic linkage

Google analytic is useful in getting the complete information on the traffic to our Blog. Blogger provide the facility to connect the blog to Google Analytic.


Blogger gets easily ranked by Google Search Engine

I had two blogs, one in Blogger and other in WordPress, both of them with same content. But the Blogger blog got ranked easily compared to the WordPress Blog.

To know more about Blogger refer the recommended book (Google Blogger for Dummies) which gives information like: Making money from blogger, Growing your audience, setting up your blog, Writing and publishing blog post and much more.

At many places I have read that WordPress is better that Blogger but to my experience blogger was far more better. If you know any pros or cons of WordPress or Blogger, then please share it with us.
