WordPress will outperform Blogger by about 16 zillion to 1. Like, it's not even at all close. I would never use Blogger as my company's website. That would almost automatically consign your site to a very lonely existence.

Of course, your writing is not likely to stand out if you don't have a clear plan. The more I use it, the more I like it. The user interface is extremely well-done.

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. Read full review The payment wall can be confusing. Hard to get traction if you're trying to go viral with an article. Sometimes content gets buried too easily.

Read full review Support Rating Google doesn't support anything that's free. Anything. Seriously, when was the last time you saw a help number for a free Google app where you could pick up a phone and get a credible voice on the other end. Unless you're actually paying Google for a service you don't exist.

While it may not have all the languages supported, English is certainly an option and with a pricing model that ranges from free to $5 for a subscription, you can't go wrong whether you're a small or large business. Everything is hosted in the cloud so it is very accessible

It's more difficult to build a Blog if one doesn't even know what the Blog is going to be about.

It's straight to the point and is excellent at showing related content, be it your own or another users.

Now since we keep all the information in one place, it has cut down repetitive questions and has given our agents a voice as to what is working for them and what is not.

The only negative impact felt so far is with a few select agents leaving negative feedback to blog due to personal issues they have with policies within the company.
