  • Wordpress is a blog. If you are talking about a self hosted wordpress site vs a free blog, the wordpress account is better in the long run.

    You ultimately own it and can control all features of it.

    A free blog contains adds and is subject to alteration by the blog owner.
  • Wordpress is very good for SEO and yes it is a blog.
  • Go with your own Wordpress installation. Free services tie your hands and monetization is getting tougher. For example, many free blogging site no longer allow affiliate links.
  • Wordpress is a blog. What a bizarre question.

  • With wordpress you can create website as well as blog. Wordpress is a very good choice for blogging. wordpress is highly SEO Friendly.
  • I think you must choose a Wordpress script installed on a domain. This is the best solution. A Wordpress / blogger subdomain are very limited and you don't have very good controls at the interval SEO.
  • It depends. If you want to keep growing a sites size then a CMS like Wordpress is a must but if you don't plan to update the site much then a CMS isn't.

    It also depends on a lot of other factors mainly depending on what features or functions you need for the site.

    • I'm a big fan of NOT using Wordpress. I prefer to optimize static HTML/CSS sites for Search Engines.

      However, right now I have a TLD that has Wordpress on it simply b/c I'm using it to post lots of Articles and News relating to websites. I'm using subdomains to rank for my targeted search terms/keywords.

      It's a win win! All the backlinks I build to the subdomains juice the TLD

      I like getting into the code and optimizing it to my specifications - HTML is much easier to edit than PHP IMO. Especially since I don't have any formal training in web design/editing/development/code!

      CHEERS!

  • hey blogger is good if you use free blogging service but if you hosted wordpress site on your domain then its good
  • wordpress with the right seo plugins and a good theme is great for SEO, I like the inove theme the best, you can get rid of the sidebar and get that html site feel.

    But if you must use a free blog platform and are aiming towards adsense then use blogger/blogspot (adsense widgets) just don't expect the greatest rankings
