Friends in the coming year of 2021
what is better for you?
WordPress or Blogger
Let's find out...
Friends in the last few videos we saw that
how to create an account in blogger.com
how we can install en eCommerce theme in it
and how to promote it
But I have getting a lot of questions
and there was one very common question among all
and that was Why Blogger.com and why not WordPress?
Which one is better between Blogger and WordPress?
Friends this is a very important question, especially when you are focussed on blogging
Also if you want to start your career as a Blogger
then it is very important for you to understand
choose a platform between these two. Whether Blogger is better or WordPress
In this video, we will try to find out
Which platform is better, by comparing them
In terms of AdSense
Which platform is better to use multiple pluggins
Which platform will incur less hosting and domain expenses
means how much minimum amount you need to spend
on these two platforms as a Blogger
and the MOST IMPORTANT point, which platform allows you to do SEO easily
We all know SEO is a very important part of Blogging
so that your blog can rank on Google
so let me try to answer all these questions
so that you people understand which platform is better to begin with
Let's start with WordPress. What is WordPress??
WordPress is an Open Source platform which you can download
and make a website/blogging page as per your requirements
WordPress was launched in 2003
and till now it has covered 38% of the Market Share
Among all the platforms in the World
the website/blogging page which is on WordPress
is 38%
If you think about blogging, then
95% of the blogging websites are built-in WordPress
So friends, if we go by the Market Share
then WordPress is definitely better than Blogger.com
Now what is Blogger?
Blogger is Google's software
or you can say a platform
which provides FREE DOMAIN AND HOSTING services to you
if you want to make a blogging page or website in blogger.com
then you will need to attach their name i.e. blogspot.com with your domain name
the total market share of Blogger is 1.6%
so now you can compare
One side you have 95% and on the other, you have 1.6% of Market Share
this makes you understand one major difference between Blogger and WordPress
Which platform is Easy to Use???
in blogger.com you can create a website within few minutes
with domain and hosting and can also publish you website
and the same is applicable to WordPress
although it is an Open Source Platform, but when you download it
you can freely use it by the drag and drop functions
and can create a website very easily
and Non-Technical people can also use it easily (If I can do it, so can you)
If I compare both the platforms now
the Winner here is Both Platforms
Next point is which platform gives you ownership?
Blogger.com does not provide you with Ownership
they have few restrictions
like whenever you make your blog in blogger.com
which is free, then with the blog name
you will also have to attach blogspot.com in the domain name (Always and Forever)
If you change your domain also
but you cannot change the hosting
and let's say you plan to switch to any other hosting provider
then all the work which you have done on this platform, may get lost
But this is not the case with WordPress
In WordPress you can purchase your own domain
and you can also change the Hosting Services whenever you want to
because you always the backup with you
you can save and install that backup from anywhere friends, so that your website is always LIVE
and whatever work you have done till now will keep giving you consistent results
and your website ranking also keeps improving
so when we compare these two platforms on Ownership
then WordPress is a sure shot Winner..(Yay)
Lets now talk about another important factor
i.e. Look and Layout
the look of Blogger.com
comes from the inbuilt themes used
you can also install External Themes but..
you cannot change anything in the Layout
the color combination in the Layout
or the structure of the layout
that does not change at all
whereas in WordPress
you can choose any one theme from the thousands of options available
and can use those themes by installing them (They can be free or paid themes)
and the best part is, you can change the Layout too
the layout can be made as per your requirements
and website can be made to look more classy
so again talking about the Winner...
Its WordPress again...
Now comes Security and Safety
when we talk about security and safety, then blogger.com
has it all. As it is the platform of GOOGLE
Because of Google platform
the safety and security of your blogging site is never of any concern
It also gives you FREE SSL which makes your site more secure by adding HTTPS to your domain name
So do not worry about security
Whereas in WordPress you need to add the security
you will need to purchase extra tools
you will also need to purchase SSL Certificate
so there are some extra expenses involved
to add to it, you also need to take care of backup and updates
so selecting a winner becomes little dicey
but if you take proper precautions (which I know you will take for sure)
then there is no problem at all
so if we compare here on Security and Safety
Both are Winners
Another point is Support and Platforms
Friends, this is my personal favorite as there are two things connected to it
One is SEO and the other is Plugins
If we talk about Blogger.com
then for SEO, blogger being Google provides you
you get options to add Meta Tag, Meta Description
and you can also add other features for SEO
and do keyword analysis and research for your blog
and rank your blog
BUT you do not get any extra Plugins in Blogger.com
which may help in boosting SEO performance
or if you want to change the website appearance
or increase the speed,
there are no plugins available in blogger.com
Whereas in WordPress you get thousands of Plugins
you can choose anyone Plugin
like Yoast SEO or Rankmath
which helps you to increase the SEO of your site
and also to do proper SEO Analysis using Yoast
which helps you eventually in ranking your website
there are many other Plugins available too
to help you increase the site speed
or to change your website appearance
you can always use N number of Plugins
in WordPress platform
But there is not even a single Plugin available in Blogger.com
Here the Winner is obviously WordPress
Now comes another important factor
i.e. INVESTMENT
In Blogger.com
or in WordPress, how much are we going to Spend???
How much Investment do we need to make?
I have made a table for this
and that table is in my blogging page
so let us go to my blogging site
Friends, this is a blog on Blogspot Vs. WordPress
in my blogging site i.e. www.digitalgurusanjog.com
This blog is given in detail in the site
you all can go through this blog and get all your queries answered too
If scroll down towards the end
you will see an important comparison
on yearly investments
There are few parameters for Yearly Investment
Hosting, Own Domain, SSL Certificate, Plugins and Themes
If you see their overall expenses, it is $2.89
If you buy Hosting from Hostinger
You get free Domain and SSL with it
In $2.89
I have also given you the link for it
you can use this link to purchase Hosting from Hostinger
So total Investment on WordPress is Rs. 4,970
For one Year
and for Blogger, if you want to Purchase own domain
as you get a Hosting and SSL free
then the domain purchase cost is $1.20
and the yearly expenses will be Rs. 1,008 for Blogger.com
Now friends, you need to decide what your budget is ?
and what your future plans are?
and the decision is to be made accordingly
as to which platform you can use to start blogging
Last but not least is Adsense
You can get Adsense approval on Blogger.com
and also on WordPress
You do not need to invest money in the initial phase if you are using Blogger.com
but you will need to make at least some investment if you chose WordPress
Now you can decide for yourself as to which platform to choose ?
Now is the time to conclude
Let us see the conclusion also in my blogging site in the table
so that we can also revise all the points covered until now
and you will be ready to make your decision
Friends, this is the Conclusion
you will get a complete understanding here
about which platform to choose for blogging
WordPress or Blogger
If we see in "Easy to Use Platform", then both are Winners
For "Site Ownership", WordPress is the Winner
For "Enabling Control" again WordPress is the Winner
For "Look and Layout" again the Winner is WordPress
as Blogger has limited features
Whereas WordPress has maximum options available
So WordPress is Winner here again
In "Safety and Security", both are Winners
as in WordPress, the control lies in your hand and in Blogger.... We have Google security
So both are Winners
"Support from Platforms" is limted
in Blogger as there are NO PLUGINS
With WordPress you get maximum support
with thousands of Plugins availability
and if you are planning Blogging with a Future Prospect
then definitely Blogger is not a good option
as there are limited options available
to begin with, you can start with Blogger.com
but for the long term, you Must choose WordPress
Friends, before I end this video. There is an important TIP for you
whenever I do blogging using Blogger.com, then my focus is
to get backlinks for the blogs which are made on WordPress platform
why is that needed and how can we do it?
whenever we create backlinks in the blogger.com
the DA and PA are always high as the platform belongs to Google
so all the blogs which you write in blogger.com have higher chance to RANK
For all my Important WordPress blogs
I write their synopsis and important points in the blogger.com
and then I give link to my WordPress blog
so that's how my traffic flows from Blogger.com to WordPress
and ultimately I get the benefit in my WordPress Blog
This remains my main purpose
as it is available for free, so I get free backlinks from Blogger.com
and you all know how important is backlinks especially when we are into blogging
Friends, make the best use of this TIP
and use both the platforms accordingly
Friends, I hope this video helped you in deciding
whether to choose Blogger or WordPress
If you have already made the decision, then you have another task in hand
i.e. Hardwork. Give your best efforts and you will surely become a Good Blogger
