Whether you’re a small business owner or a struggling
entrepreneur, blog is as much important as having a website, blog can drive
great number of traffic to your website, it will help branding yourself or/and
your product, you can get in touch with your customer and keep them updated,
another advantage is more visibility on search engines because where a websites
have 3 – 5 pages but blog can have up-to
100+ pages there is no limit, so the more pages your blog have the more they
will get indexed and resulting in increased visibility in search engines, there
are countless other advantage of having a blog.
So now you know the importance of having a blog but now a
really important question rise “What CMS (content management system) to use” a
CMS is where your content and other useful stuff is managed just like a
operation system for a computer and like in every thing in life you have a
choice (alternative) for which to use and which not, there are tons of CMS out
there but only 2 holds the reputation to be compared which are Blogger &
Wordpress, We will try to explain every aspect good and bad here so there is no
confusion left for our readers.
Blogger Vs Wordpress
Blogger
Pros
User-Friendly
One of the most cool thing about
blogger that it is really user friendly that’s why professional bloggers from
all over the world recommend blogger for its simplicity and User-friendliness.
Top-Notch Security
That is a very common problem that
lacks in every CMS but in Bogger your blog is nearly un-hackable so its one
less thing to worry about.
No Start Up Fee
Blogger is a 100% free CMS no start up fee is required and
there are no such features that are only accessible by premium users because
there is no such thing as premium user In Blogger, its equal for all.
No Hosting Hassle
Though this is a point where many
new and pro bloggers argue, this can be a taken as a negative or a positive
point because in Blogger you don’t have to worry about the hosting because being
operated by a Search engine giants has it on advantages on of them is that
every blog on Blogger is hosted on a Google’s server and its 100% free no
matter how much traffic you get per day or how much bandwidth you consume you
will get fast blog loading speed and you wont be charged a penny and where it’s
a good news for newbies or people who aren’t ready to invest, but many people
objects this feature because we have no control over hosting, we don’t have
complete freedom to do whatever we want to.
Theme Customization
If you know the basic HTML,
tweaking up your blog template isn’t such a hard work.
Quickly Getting Indexed
That’s second advantage of being
operated by Google, Blogger blogs get indexed really quickly and if you post
daily unique content in Blogger nearly no SEO is needed to rank your site
because Google will give you this favour.
Cons
Limited Customization
Though its easy to use but when
its comes to customization its really limited in resources, and that is effects
its reputation.a lot.
Lack Of Themes
Blogger don’t have a big theme
collection, even the number of third party templates aren't much.
No Control Over Hosting
As said above this is a point
which can be taken as a negative or a positive, the negative aspect of this
point is that we have no control over hosting we're completely helpless if a
problem occurs and we’ll just have to leave it to google to solve it, and
Blogger’s hosting remove (delete) blogs without any reason if the content is
too explicit.
Wordpress
Pros
Free CMS
Just like Blogger WordPress software is free but you need a hosting to make it operational, you have a
choice to decide your hosting which fits your needs.
Extremely Powerful Features
The reason Wordpress being
recommended by pros all over the world is because of its extremely powerful
plugging, it makes the processes like doing SEO effortless, your every article
can be simultaneously posted on all social networks with your account
automatically and there are other extremely powerful plugins in Wordpress’s
arsenal
Full Customization
Anything and everything is
customizable in Wordpress which make people with fair knowledge on CSS and HTML
really happy but for beginners it can be really agonizing.
Enormous Theme Collection
That’s where Blogger and other CMS
fall behind, Wordpress have a huge Theme collection both official and third
party there is a lot to choose from, and highly professional designs comes with
full customization ability.
Full Control Over Everything
You have full control and knowing
whats going on and for some people when it comes to self hosted blog it’s a
good thing because if you have choose your hosting providers correctly any kind
of content is allowed.
Cons
Everything Is Paid
For people with no or less money Wordpress is a big no because nearly everything is paid
For people with no or less money Wordpress is a big no because nearly everything is paid
like plugins and themes and
sometimes overpriced as well, most of the free themes are outdated or dull in
design, although Wordpress.com offer free hosting with Wordpress CMS but in
extremely limited environment, users don’t have the ability to use plugins and
if you ask me that is the very reason people use Wordpress for and you cant
even monetized your blog so whats the point of having a blog hosted on
Wordpress.com.

Security
Its one of the biggest flaw of
Wordpress Sites are easily hack-able and if you haven’t taken some basic
security measures for your blog you can say “sayonara” to your content though
there are plugins which helps you secure your blog but your blog is extremely
vulnerable at every time.
Conclusion
Well first of all this article isn't here to judge who’s the best because as this may upset lots of our reader
that we don’t want but personally I prefer Blogger.
if you have some money to invest
and have some basic knowledge on how things works I would say go for Wordpress
all the way because of its rich features and huge number of professional and
engaging themes (templates), we tried to show you every good/bad aspects of
these 2 CMS giants and hope now you can easily decide which will you use to
take a step onwards to your epic blogging journey.
Thanks for taking you precious
time and reading our article and like always feedbacks, suggestions and
questions are more than welcomed.
