    Don't use it.

    1. You don't own it.
    2. You'll never get any real traffic to it unless you're a pro and an SMM expert.
    3. It looks unprofessional.

    Get your own domain and self-host, for land's sake!

      well said I couldn't of said it any better myself But I disagree on the traffic part they do tend to rank well if the blog has enough content because Google owns blogger.

      But still if you are in this for the long haul start your own blog you have been warned.

      Google can delete your blogger blog for any reason it deems fit there t.o.s. is always changing so be prepared for the worst one day it happened to me years ago until I got smart and starting hosting my own blog.

    As already adviced, self hosted wordpress blog is your best bet if you are in this for long term. If you don't want to buy hosting, even free Wordpress account with your own domain name is good enough. If / when you want to move to self hosted, you can do it without affecting your backlinks, if you go with your own domain name. Don't use the free wordpress.com subdomains.

    Wordpress.org (not wordpress.com) is the way to go IMO.

    You own it, it's customizable, easy and there is very little you can't do. A great platform to start off with at any rate.

      Get yourself a Hostgator 'Baby Plan' account - put a cheap but relevant domain on it - use Fantastico in Cpanel to upload a Wordpress blog within seconds.

      The beauty of this is - you can have as many sub-domains using that one single domain as you like - all costing you Zilch!

      And of course, you can also host as 'many' domains as you like for a measly $6.36 per month - What's not to like??

    Self hosting your own Wordpress blog is one option if you have the money to do it. But if you are not interested or able to invest money go for a site like Tumblr as an alternative to Blogger. There are many other reputable free blog sites with good Google reputation that will rank well assuming you post regularly.

    As others have mentioned Wordpress is a must if you are looking to become a serious blogger!

    It takes time to figure out, but at the end of the day, this is where it's at as far as blogging goes.

    And really, it's not that difficult once you learn how to use it!

    Best of luck with your blogging!

    Wordpress is good, so is tumblr.

    Getting your own site like others mentioned before really is the key though.

    But you can always just use blogger, with enough content, as someone else here mentioned, you can start to get pretty good traffic.
