Blogging with Blogger, Blogspot, Google Blogs
Blogging is a great hobby and it can also be used as a way market yourself or your business. Blogging is much easier to start than a web page, and it is a lot easier to maintain then a web site. There are quality Free Blog Hosts available, so there is really no reason not to get started today.
Blogger is one of the many options available to people who are looking for free blogging software. It offers registered users the opportunity to publish their own blog free of charge. The website also has templates the blogger can use to create his blog. In fact, this is a Blogger Blog!!!
A major advantage of having an additional blog on Blogger is great for SEO of your other online properties. Believe it or not, Google loves Blogger (as well as Wordpress). They are probably more favorable to Blogger because in 2002 Blogger was doing well that Google expressed interest in purchasing Blogger.
Since taking over Google introduced the concept of AdSense advertising campaigns on blogs which has been generating profits for Google and bloggers alike. Blogger not only offers members templates to create a blog and voice their opinions on the Internet but also simplifies the process of placing AdSense advertisements on the blog.
Blogger has several advantages. It’s very easy for new bloggers to use. Setting up a blog with Blogger is as simple as following a few prompts. There is nothing to install. Some of the other advantages include: Price: Blogger is totally free to use. You don’t have to purchase a domain name as the system will give you an address based on the name of your blog.
Ease of use: Posting to your blog is easy. You can also change the look of your blog very easily. This is all done through Blogger’s dashboard. If you have more than one blog with Blogger, you can access all of the blogs from the same dashboard.
However, Blogger does have some disadvantages when it comes to creating money making blogs.
Lack of flexibility: Compared to other options out there, the design and function of a Blogger blog is very limited. You can download and install custom themes for the blog, but most look very similar. This means your blog won't stand out as well in your niche.
Domain name: You will get a free domain name with your Blogger blog, but the domain name will be “yourblogname.blogspot.com” instead of “yourblogname.com.”
Ownership: You will never truly own your Blogger blog because the files and content are hosted on Blogger’s server.
Blogger has their own terms and conditions for posting content. You can’t just post anything, so always read the Terms and Conditions. If you don't follow their rules, your blog will probably get deleted.
You should be cautious of placing some Affiliate links directly on your Blogger site. Always read the Terms of Service before signing up so that you do not do anything that will get your blog deleted from the site.
I think Blogger/Blogspot is a great way to express yourself and make passive money from blogging.
