blogger Why WordPress Might Be Better Than Blogspot For Your Blogging? So you’re ready to start blogging.

Where are you going to put your blog?

Today there are bunch of different platforms you can use. One of which is BlogSpot – by Google.

When I first starting blogging, I figured why not BlogSpot? Google is taking over everything, they know what they’re doing, it’s linked to my account…it’s pretty easy to use… How could I go wrong?

So I created a blog, put about 12 different articles there. I added few banners for my primary opportunity and was pretty excited about the whole thing. It actually did not look bad.

Until couple days later in the morning I came to check on my blog and saw a blank screen with an ugly Google message that said something about Google thinks my blog is a spam blog and it has taken it down while verifying. I needed to click on the link in the email they sent me and that would verify that I am not a machine but a human and then they were within 48 hours reinstate my blog.

That message was plastered on the URL where my blog was sitting – for a whole world to see.

After many, many months of hard work and sweat to bring the peeps to my site, now they really could see “my masterpiece”. I was furious to say the least. Some blogger, ha?

So I clicked the link, reinstated my blog, and in a hurry moved to Word Press. I started off first with the free blog at WordPress.com and later on I moved to my current, self-hosting blog.

Later on I learned that BlogSpot did not like I had banners on there.

Nobody has ever said a word about my blog since then – the blog people, that is.

It’s my blog, I choose what goes on there. I have total freedom to run my blog the way I want it and deem most effective.
