Do you want to start a blog?

Are you not sure about which of the two to choose in the market?

If your answer to any of the questions above is a big yes, then, you have come to the best place!

Nowadays, the market has got two, very famous platforms, where, you could start your blogs without coding. They are Blogger and WordPress.

But the existence of two competitors makes the people confused. 

There are many pros and cons of both the platform. So, let us visit them one by one!

Blogger vs WordPress: Blogger

Blogger is an American blog-publishing service that allows multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. It was developed by Pyra Labs and was brought by Google in 2003.

Since it is run by Google, nothing can be more genuine than this! This is an old platform and many people use it to date! Even our website allrounderstsk.blogspot.com is made using Blogger.

Blogger is very reliable. Also, with Google, you can use many settings given on the Settings panel, without even needing to code!

So first, let us talk about the Pros of Blogger!

Blogger vs WordPress: Blogger - Pros

• No coding: You will not need to code your website. You can just choose your theme and start blogging!
• Free Subdomain: You will also be getting a free subdomain of {your_name}.blogspot. com, like allrounderstsk.blogspot.com!

Blogger vs WordPress: Blogger - Cons

• No Tools: You cannot add more tools than Google has provided, which are in counts 1 and 2. This decreases the Ranking of your website.
• No Off-Page SEO: Blogger doesn't provide Off-Page SEO Tools, which also decreases the Ranking of your website.
• Brokerage: When you start earning through AdSense, a small amount is taken by Blogger, which makes a great difference in the total amount.
• Less Income: Many bloggers earn a lot less with the same things on the other platforms.
• Need to know: Although this platform doesn't need coding for basic things, if you want your website to grow, you need to know many things about HTML and JavaScript.
• Lots of HTML: There are a lot of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files on the website.
• No other Language: Blogger does not support other languages like PHP, etc.
• Not Customizable: The Post Editor and Blogger are not at all customizable. For even the slight changes, you will have to hire some great Web Developers who charge you a lot.
• No scope for versatility: You cannot do anything except writing blogs. You can not even get your viewers to buy your products directly. They will have to go to other sites to do these things.

Now, let us calculate the scores of both platforms!

Blogger: 45

WordPress: 76

Clearly, WordPress is a winner! But now, you will think that why we are using Blogger at all? Well, the answer to this is simple. Blogger also has some advantages over WordPress. And for starters, we chose Blogger without investment!

Blogger vs WordPress: Why would you choose Blogger

Blogger has a very clear advantage on only one point, over WordPress, which made us choose it. The point is, that you can start by investing $0, and give an average performance to the users. Also, we will be getting a free SSL, that attracts a lot of people towards it. We get a free subdomain, hosting, and an HTTP redirect! 

In the future, when we get an ample amount of traffic and subscribers, we will be shifting to WordPress, while this blog will also be continued.

But, why will we move at all if we can settle for Blogger? The answer to that is, Blogger is not as attractive as WordPress sites. Also, a custom domain will help us rank better. WordPress has so much customization, that you will feel more comfortable while reading our blogs. 

The theme we have put up is not world-class. but we have to use it because it is the only way to go! Also, the lack of plugin options and the DNS server changing options make us look a bit less professional.

Blogger vs WordPress: Why would you choose WordPress

WordPress now leads the world market. It not only provides us with professional and easy-to-use settings, but we can also add many things to it, using the plugins section, which is also very easy!

We can easily make an E-Commerce website, and also, the customizations are also very easy. You can easily do the changes required and also, you will have full access to your website.

In the end, I would say that WordPress is a clear winner. But invest in it only if you have enough money and you seek it as a career. I would also prefer it if I would have money. But still, Blogger is also not less. But people in Blogger earn less in the end.
