Photo and Blog Question Please

[Craig Fenton]

Hi Warriors:

As always hope the day was great and thanks in advance for your time.

A few questions today please.

If you were selling a product on the internet both as a Warrior Special Offer and for Non-Warriors does a photo of the seller make a difference to the majority of consumers or do you feel that if the person isn't a Hollywood face or sports icon it wouldn't matter as long as the seller had a previous track record, testimonials, proper price points, and money back guarantee?

As for the blog please. What are the advantages of going with Blooger over WordPress. I have only used WordPress and the same for the circle of friends/business associates.

Lastly please could a person benefit from having a blog on both that would cover the same niche or market segment? Do you gain exposure by getting the info in front of fans of both or are you penalized if the search engines feel it is duplicate or too close to similar content.

Thank you again for your time and have a great night!!

WordPress.com has a lot of restrictions on commercial usage. Blogger doesn't have as many restrictions. So, if you market anything, you are better off on Blogger rather than WordPress. Plus, Blogger has a community of users whereas I don't know if WordPress.com has a comparable community.

With WordPress (from WordPress.org) on your own site, you would have much more control over your content and site than either WordPress.com or Blogger allow. Plus, there are SEO plugins and such that make WordPress even more search engine friendly.

You could have both a WordPress blog and a Blogger blog, but make sure you don't duplicate content between the two. I don't think "too close" would be that much of an issue, but using the same content on both could be.
