Robb's Not Especially Positive Review of Blogger
- As I mentioned earlier, external backlinks.
- Writing small, quick articles that don't require a lot of formatting or visual content.
- Adding up to 200 characters worth of relevent hash tags.
- Adding a relatively long, detailed title for your post.
- Adding a relatively long, detailed description for your posts.
- Formatting, especially for visual content is abysmal.
- Don't even think about trying to write a long post in Blogger. There is no easy way to structure one.
- Even though it's a Google product, you really have to poke around outside of Blogger to learn how to create an XML file that you can submit to Google Sitemaps.
- Google does not give you an over-abundance of tools for creating a visually attractive blog.
Blogger: A website you need to spread knowledge across the world
- Free domain provider
- Provide access to source code
- Wide availability of theme
- No need to be expert in coding
- Simple integration with Adsense, and no limit in earning once our blog becomes popular
- Lack of plugins in Blogger
Best platform to start blogging
- It's very easy to start using
- It's perfect if I want to write articles easily and share it
- Easy to connect to AdSense and make money out of it
- Can connect domain name easily
- Can be customized easily if I know HTML and CSS only too
- It would be easy if I were able to use plugins that are available in the CMS I'm using currently
10 Years of experience with Blogger! Honest Review!
- Free.
- Very easy to use.
- Availability of theme templates.
- Lack of 3rd party support and plugins.
Blogger is great for starters!
- Easy to use!
- Analytics are built-in with no necessary plugins!
- Free - Great for a start up blog.
- Easy to manage, monitor, and delete comments.
- Customization - There are slight opportunities for customization, but not enough for a larger business once we took off.
- Doesn't highlight new features, instead makes people hunt for them.
No Coding Experience, No Problem! Blogger is for you!
- Cost - Because Blogger is free we are able to utilize it to its fullest capacity all while paying nothing!
- User friendly - As I previously stated, we are able to post and reach vast amounts of people in a short amount of time because the interface is so easy and user friendly!
- This goes along with user-friendly, but it is amazing how you do not need any coding experience to have a professional looking page.
- Giving the ability to customize pages would be extremely helpful because many people have the idea that all Blogger accounts look the same, which they do look similar.
- Not intended for large corporations.
Excellent platform to express yourself!
- Blogger gives a structured ready to go platform to display your ideas and writings.
- Blogger is easy to use for new users and those who aren't as tech-savvy.
- Blogger has many pre-designed themes.
- Blogger is free!
- You can monetize on a free site, unlike their competitors
- Blogger is not set up as well for all social media platforms.
- The Google+ social media platform was a flop and because of that, it can be harder to gain traction on Blogger as it was created to pair with Google+.
- Although the site is completely free the domain requires a purchase if you want to have it not say blogger in your URL.
- No Coding Skills Required
- Basic Functionality Makes it User-Friendly for All Experience Levels
- Easy to Connect with Other Google Accounts
- Easy Sharing Capabilities
- Out of Date
- Poor Reputation
- Not a Lot of Customization
- Not a Lot of Upgrade Ability
- Not Good for Enterprise/Corporate Entities
- Keeping of stats helps us see if agents are following reading the blog and gives a matrix to management about the page views and followers over various time periods
- The theme and layout have been very helpful in customizing how the blog page looks and allows us to customize it to help with showing our brand. So instead of it looking like an external application we are using, it appears to be part of our total company system.
- I have found the reading list very helpful in getting different idea's for layouts of the blog and the help section has saved me numerous times when I am trying to see if blogger can do something or I am trying something new.
- When comments are as the author of the post when you post a comment back it should be more threaded and either a symbol or icon should designate the poster. It is hard to determine who the poster is compared to who left a post.
- As a company that uses the blog for our agents, it would be nice if they would allow custom ads to be run.
- It would be nice if they would add a chat feauture within the blog so that if a poster would like to chat with us they would be able to.
I have created a couple of blogs with Blogger for myself, my company and some friends. They were personal blogs and professional blogs. I have also written some tutorials about Blogger for the beginners; some have also been published in magazines.
To my personal point of view, Blogger is definitively the best choice when you have absolutely no technical skill, you have no domain name and no ISP (and you can’t afford or don’t want to pay for it)… and you want to be online in just a couple of minutes. It is easy to use and it offers all the required features for free! What more could you ask for?!
Blogger is also perfect for small businesses as you can easily and very quickly create a website. Blogger is mainly known as a blog solution for creating post articles which are published chronologically, but it also allows you to create static pages which are organized and you can access them thru a menu, as in a regular website! You can use one of the multiple templates that come with Blogger or customize your pages (you can also import templates designed with Artisteer).
- Blogger is free as most of the CMS are, and you can find thousands of gadgets for free.
- Blogger offers a lot of templates which can be customized. You can also specify a different template when the blog/website is displayed on a mobile device to be sure that the display will be responsive.
- It is easy to change the page layout. You only have to drag and drop the elements of the page. When you are done, save. That’s all!
- You can easily manage the comments from your readers.
- When you have a blog or a website, of course you are interested in knowing if you have readers, which articles they prefer, who they are (their country, the operating system and web browser they use…). All you have to do is click on the statistics menu for viewing all these valuable data.
- It is always difficult to speak about cons when something is free. I would say that Blogger is ideal for personal blogs and very small businesses. If you want to design a website with multiple web pages, then I would suggest you to have a look at WordPress.
Just go with WordPress
Easy to use
- It is very easy to set up. Getting started was pretty simple and took very little time.
- The overview tells you how many views the page has and allows you to see the traffic your blog gets.
- The site navigation can be a little confusing.
- There are some limitations to how the blogs can be modified. The settings are hard to find sometimes.
Basic Blogger
- Long format blog posts
- Images integration with Google photos
- Organized and tagged content
- Overall site layout and design
- Intelligent scheduling should be added
- Backend settings
Blogger - it just works (apologies to Apple)
- Blogger hosts the pictures you use in your posts. There's no need to host them elsewhere and link to them.
- The interface is clean and easy to use.
- Blogger is never down. It's always up and response is fast.
- The hardest part about composing a post with pictures is that there is no easy way to place a picture in a precise spot, nor is it easy to place multiple pictures in exact locations.
- When Blogger introduces new functionality, they should tell their users right away in a manner that doesn't force them to go looking for news. Highlight the features.
- We used to be able to apply hyperlinks to the pictures we used in posts. I can't seem to do that anymore.
Blogger (BlogSpot) Great tool building clientele, networking with others, AdSense provides opportunity for making more money.
- I have great preset templates to utilize and build a clean, appealing Blog page. I can also build using HTML or other tools to build an appealing blog page.
- I have ads on my BlogSpot pages and whenever someone clicks on those ads AdSense will pay me so much per click and transfer those funds into my bank account when it reaches a certain amount. You can pick what "type" of ads appear on your pages.
- I can build up the search engine of my BlogSpot pages and name my own URL to those pages.
- I would like more templates
- I also want to be able to reach Technical Support for Google BlogSpot
