Blogger vs WordPress comparison - 2012
Blogger and Wordpress are the best known free blog hosting services.
First of all blogger is ad-free and you can customize CSS in it, which is not so with wordpress freeware platform you have to upgrade it to premium to enable these feartures.
Blogger has integerated adsense feature, customizable html and includes thirdy party scripts, all these things cannot be done with wordpress.
Both have built-in visitors stats and, blogger supports 50+ languages while wp supports 120+ languages.
Also wp is more secured than blogger, as you can enable password protection for every post in wp.
First, Google does not rely heavily in meta tags and keywords anymore.
Second, Google owns Blogger which makes it more easy to distinguish which side you should support. Will Google leave their Blogger program to be dumped by WordPress forever? Of course not, there will be more changes in the future especially if you are within Google’s backyard.
So in my opinion new blogger interface is more search engine friendly.
Howerver bloggers dynamic views is not so good for search engine optimization.
If you think this way, you will not realize the importance of Blogger as a platform and it will just remain a training ground on your perspectives. As a free platform, Blogger is totally easy to use to all novice and first time users. But unlike self-hosted WordPress, it highly requires technical knowledge with regards to hosting, servers and other tools, not to mention the expenditures that you will spend for each set-up.
