Bloggers Vs Wordpress - Pros & Cons

Hello everybody, many of my friends used ask me "which one is better to use - blogger or wordpress..??"
The answer was clear, that if you want a blog that does not require paid web hosting then you should go for blogger (sacrificing some facilities), And if you want a blog or site that should be as professional as it can be, you should go for wordpress.

Though this blog itself is powerd by blogger (as i love blogger though) i would recommend wordpress to you,

heres why..

 

 

I always experienced many wonderful benefits achieved by having my website, and this has made an incredible difference for me in my life. There is a great value in building your own online presence and growing your audience. Having a complete control, ownership and freedom over your site are the main reasons why I pick WordPress as my preferred content platform.

The open-source community behind WordPress provides many of the unique benefits to the platform. There are thousands of free design themes for you to use to make a great looking website, and there are even more plugins that allow you to extend your site by adding great features. All this without needing to know how to code or without having any web design experience.

Blogger is a simple and easy to use platform, but it just doesn’t cut it in regards to flexibility and customization. That is where WordPress excels. Over 60 million people and brands have chosen it to power their sites and use it to create a broad range of beautiful and impressive blogs and websites.

Many of the biggest organizations run their blogs and sites on WordPress. Some examples are Facebook, Google Ventures, eBay, CNN, NASA, and Mozilla. I run all my projects on WordPress too. WordPress actually powers 26.4% of all websites online while Blogger powers 1.2% (as of May 2016).

How to use custom permalink to boost your SEO

Hello, let me stick to googles blogger  here, previously we couldn’t control the permalink of bloggers blog and by default it used to remove some of the "stop words" and when you use long title of the post, it removes the extending words from permalink.

• http://www.yoursite.com/blogspot-seo-search-preference-robots-redirection-metatag.html
• http://www.yoursite.com/blogspot-custom-permalink.html

How to use custom permalink to boost your SEO

the basic idea is to remove all stop words and use Keywords in your permalink
Now, when you write a Blog post in BlogSpot, simple look for Permalink option, click on it, select custom URL and add your permalink there. I know for newbie, it may sounds like rocket-science to add your own permalink, and I will explain it in simply

When you are writing a new blog post and lets say, your title is
How to boost SEO of your blogSpot blog, by default BlogSpot will make a permalink like
http://domain.blogspot.com/yy/mm/how-to-boost-seo-of-your-blogspot-blog.html
Instead of using such long Permalink, simple add
How-BlogSpot-SEO or BlogSpot-SEO in custom URL. Remember, your Keywords are separated by ‘–‘ (Dash).

For now, you can use following characters in custom URL field (A-Z) (a-z)(0-1)

How to Create Own Email Id With Domain Name (Eg: admin@domainname.com)

With the help of google app, we can create out own email id, this stuff will work with most of the common domain registrar.

Follow The Given Steps: 

1. Firstly, go to google apps Sign up Page, click on start free trial (You would be paying later, but it’s good to enjoy first one month without paying anything)
   
2. Now just click next, and on the next page, you have the option to buy the domain from Google or use any of your existing domain. If you have a domain, use the option which says “Use a domain name I have already purchased” and if you need to buy a domain name, use the second option.
   
3. Now on the next page, you will need to create your first Google Apps user name. My suggestion would be, create only those email address which you are more likely to going to use. As Google Apps charges /user/month, using fewer Email address will ensure that your business monthly expense will be low.
   
4. Just click signup and it will automatically redirect you to admin dashboard of your newly created Google Apps account.
   
5. The thing which we require at first here, is to verify domain ownership which could be done in multiple ways. The easiest way is by adding the meta tag if you already created your website, or you can add Txt record to verify domain ownership. In my case, I have added meta tag into my WordPress site to verify domain ownership. (as proof that i own the domain)
   
6. After verifying your domain ownership, next step is to set up email for your domain. Click on next step after verify, and you will be back to admin console where you can click on setup email to start setting up Google Apps Email service. The great thing about Google Apps setup tool is, it’s very smart and makes it easy for any non-technical user to setup and get running in no-time. For example, in my case, Google apps detected that my domain is hosted on Bluehost, and it gave me instructions to quickly setup Google Apps email service via Bluehost. After this you have to delete all existing MX record.
   
7. At this point, delete all existing MX record in your Bluehost hosting account or other web-hosting services that you are using, and simply add the MX record provided by Email setup console of Google apps.

That’s it! in less than 24 hours Google will check the MX records after which your mail will be activated, hope this helps.

Pleasr remember, having your personalized domain Email address, will help in branding and look more professional, Good Luck!
