For all of the experienced (and not so experienced)- which do you think is a better platform - Blogger or Wordpress?

Dianne, they say Wordpress is the better one and BOTH are free. I have BOTH. For all of the experienced (and not so experienced)- which do you think is a better platform - Blogger or Wordpress?

I also have both. So far, they are about equal in my eyes.

I have Blogger and Wordpress also. Both are free and both are good. I like blogger because I can make some decent money with Adsense.

Keep in mind there is a difference between wordpress.com and .org - it all depends on how much effort you are willing to put into having your own domain.
.com is the version that is like blogger/blogspot.
.org is the one that where you own your own domain.
If you don't care about owning your own domain, I do prefer Blogger - it's super easy and you can have adsense, as BB said.

Jilly, I did not know about the .org and .com. Thanks for the lesson. Keep in mind there is a difference between wordpress.com and .org - it all depends on how much effort you are willing to put into having your own domain.

.org is the one that where you own your own domain.

Hi BB, can you pass some AdSense tips our way? I am stuck at $52 and have yet to make my first $100 to get my first check (lol). Thanks! I have Blogger and Wordpress also. Both are free and both are good. I like blogger because I can make some decent money with Adsense.

I was using Blogger and then I switched to Wordpress. I wanted to give my blog a more professional, articles, news column looking feel. I think Wordpress does that for me.

Di, do you have AdSense on your blog? I was using Blogger and then I switched to Wordpress. I wanted to give my blog a more professional, articles, news column looking feel. I think Wordpress does that for me.

The best thing for adsense is to have a lot of rich content targeted to a niche topic, all linked together so navigation is easy and people can really use the site as a resource. You want it to be a useful destination that people link to.
The more people link to you as a resource, the more Google will direct people at you. More eyeballs, more clickthroughs.
