The two are actually very Good! But WordPress is user friendly and very easy to use lots of plug-ins that will help the blog's SEO and rankings.

I wonder why people still use blogger sef , the only advantage it has over self hosted wordpress is free hosting , that never goes down regardless of how heavy incoming traffic is .
Wordpress makes you feel like a demi god , especially when you are a programmer , and if you are not , there is an ocean of plugins to select from to do just about anything you can think of
Blogger limits you in almost every way .
I am holding an online training soon on blogging from beginner to pro and also creating an android app for your blog

if you have great HTML knowledge blogger is amazing, WordPress is more user friendly though
Re: Between Wordpress And Blogger Which One Is Better??? by HeWrites(m): 7:12am On Jan 02, 2018
WordPress but I advice you to stay on Blogger for sometime before moving to WordPress.

A friend who I started blogging before rushed to WordPress (he spent 15k) but now, the blog is no where to be found.

Planning on moving soon though.

I actually use Blogger 'cause it's free and self hosted and much easier to use IMHO. For professional websites with a lot of personal customizations wordpress is king in that aspect but it costs more to maintain.

If you are planning to create a blog with the mindset of making it popular and making money from it, you should go for the self-hosted WordPress blog.

If you are an occasional writer or a hobby-blogger, is the best pick for you.

Here is a handy chart, explaining the feature differences between vs. vs. Self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org):

That's what people fail to understand. Most times they are fooled by the green dots of yoast but I tell you, if you work your meta tag and Blogger seo well, Google bots will crawl Blogger blog faster than WordPress

However, for design and professional look, WordPress has it

Re: Between Wordpress And Blogger Which One Is Better??? by Doerstech(m): 7:32am On Jan 02, 2018
OP 1)Your Question is between Blogger and WordPress which is easier? or simply to use?

Both of them are easy to learn and you have tons of material on the web ( Tens of good hand's on Youtube Videos on both WP and Blogger ) that will teach you practically everything you need to know to build blogs and websites with them.

Lot's of Nigerian bloggers use blogger primarily because of its free nature and also being a brainchild of Google, i used it personally as an amateur and i have nothing against those using it, but now that am into serious stuffs...I stick with WordPress when it comes to Content Management Systems (CMS)

This article here from WPbeginer gives you a load down on both http://www.wpbeginner.com/opinion/wordpress-vs-blogger-which-one-is-better-pros-and-cons/ Please read it.

So for now as a starter you can play around with both ( Blogger and free version of WordPress ) when you get serious and ready to invest money into your game, then go for WordPress self-hosted services ( pay for both your domain and host account ) and start building real life stuffs. You can also get any of the local servers like WAMP, XAMPP and build your site on your local pc.

Still on WordPress, you can take a step further and join groups like this one https://www.meetup.com/Lagos-WordPress-Meetup-Group/
attend their meetings and learn more.


2) You have no knowledge of HTML and you want to rank and want to learn SEO.....

HTML is the foundation and any blogger who knows his onion should know what HTML is about, be you an SEO, Digital marketer etc. It's important you know what HTML is about then build on it add CSS and JS and then move on to other Frontend technologies and the ones of backend.

Barbecue if you're to get the best out of WP, to customize things the way you want, you have to know more than HTML, you must know your CSS very well and PHP.

tThat said, they're tons of free tutorials on HTML and code in places like Codeacademy and Udacity. Even currently Andela and their likes are running various free Web design classes online that involves HTML, CSS and JS through their ALC program with Google, so look out for that and sign up.

SEO goes beyond theory to practical they're tons of free materials on that on the web, but until you put it into practice, you're still a theorist on that.

Read this article on how to find out if your website/blog is listed by search engines: https://doerstechnologies.com.ng/how-to-find-out-if-your-website-listed-search-engines

Read this thread on 5 Things to do to make your Website/Blog more visible to your target audience: https://www.nairaland.com/4206168/5-things-make-website-more

Both of them and other related article around them, will show you how to get fraction you desire for your blog.

I have being building blogs and website using WordPress for sometime now, and if am to choose base on what i know, I will go for WordPress anytime anyday. Having said that, your ranking is not determined by WordPress or Blogger, what makes your rank higher than your competitor is

1) Doing your search engine optimization right (Onpage, Offsite, Local SEO and Technical SEO done properly )

2) Having a content that serves your target audience ( because at the end of the day if your content doesn't appeal to your readers, then you're a goner )

3) Reviewing what you're what's working for you and doing it again.

Blogger has nothing to do with not getting views from google. That's purely based on ur SEO skills.
Re: Between Wordpress And Blogger Which One Is Better??? by mickadeyemi: 8:04am On Jan 02, 2018
No doubt WordPress is really convenient but it will cost some money to get it online unlike blogger that you can start for free.
Like me now I started with blogger, I had a lot of challenges, but I kept learning online from other top blogger users, I was able to design my blog up to this extent check http://automatenaija..com.ng before I moved to WordPress, WordPress as really been convenient to use with alot plugins that can make you look like a real web developer.
I did a lot of html editing on blogger but on WordPress I haven't done it once, and am still able to design my blog to taste checky WordPress www.automatenaija.com.ng

First, check and confirm if you already have h1 tag on your article because having more that one or two h1 is conterproductive - That is the first thing bots look to understand your article so if what is in h1 tag is not related to the article, the bots just dump your post in page 64 of Google search engine result.

To check, view the source page of your previous article and search for </h1>. See first image
The major defect of Blogger is assigning h1 to sidebar title tags, you will need to reassign that (I can help for a token contact @ictunit on telegram).
Your h1 should be ONLY the Title of the blog and title of the article (headline)

Also subheadings should carry h2, this one you can assign when composing the post, see image below on the location
