Is WordPress better than Blogger?

Well, the platform you go for will have to depend on the type of website you are aiming to create. Blogger is simple and good for starters and there as very great and SEO-optimised Blogger templates out there.

WordPress on the other hand is feature-packed and although comes with numerous plugins to add more features and even boost SEO, it might not be the best for a newbie.

This is to say that, In a nutshell, the Blogger platform is better than WordPress when you are creating a blog for no other reason than you want to write. If you are OK with the limited features offered by the Blogger platform, then this is a great choice. For making money or creating a long term impact, the WordPress platform is better.

Be it Blogger or WordPress, when it comes to SEO, it will all depend on how your website is configured for search engines. Some themes or templates might as well play a big role.

That aside, WP is good as it is really flexible and gives you total control over your information. That said, it can be hacked as opposed to Blogger. Blogger is in the cloud and you do not have to install any software to get started.

Blogger uses basic HTML themes or templates, unlike WP themes that are really sophisticated. You will therefore need to have basic HTML and CSS knowledge to make serious customisations on a Blogger (Blogspot) website. When it comes to WordPress, it gives you the possibility to add and remove features just by installing a plugin.

The conclusion

If you want a blog where you will need to add many custom features, then go for WordPres. But if you just want something simple and clean, then you go for Blogger as a starter.
