On what occasion do you use blogger instead of wordpress? Also, are there any tutorials you can recommend on setting up and optimizing blogger? I never use Blogger for a primary site. I want to own any primary site and the easiest way to do that is by having a WordPress blog on a domain I own. Blogger is not easy to optimize unless you are going to make major changes. I don’t bother for what I use it for which is primarily back linking. Have not seen but then again I haven’t really looked for tutorials on optimizing Blogger. I am sure that there are some but personally would not put the effort into something I did not control. When I was creating various niche Adsense sites it was easy to get your site spidered by Google by using a Blogger blog. Because Google owns Blogger they spider those sites quite regularly and a good link to a new site will get the spider to your site extremely quickly. Likewise if you are looking to open an Adsense account the easiest way is to create a Blogger blog, make a couple posts and apply through Blogger. I still use Blogger as part of a network of sites to rank for a keyword but don’t spend much time optimizing them just using them to push links with the anchor text for the keyword I am trying to rank for. You can use some other services the same way to create your network. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, MySpace and some others all have blog type platforms to create links going to your primary site with your anchor text. Creating a series of these along with a lens or two at Squidoo, some Hub Pages on your topic can all help to drive traffic and help you rank for your keyword often times multiple times from the various platforms. That is how I use Blogger but would never depend on it for a primary site. As always your questions and comments are welcomed.
