Blogger

I use Blogger to provide SEO support for my online store and for some marketing support. Blogger is very good at creating easy, Google-legal external backlinks within the context of a legitimately informative article. I don't need to try and sneak external backlinks into various blog comments or do anything else that is unethical. Currently, I have over 80 posts focused on my online store. Each article is either about a unique product that my store provides or deals with an issue that is very specific to the products that I sell.

• It's free and as long as you understand what it does best and its limits, free can be good.
• Ease of using it as a tool that can help reinforce a Google-legal SEO strategy.
• Once you understand how to use Blogger's very limited formatting capabilities it has value for creating quick, concise posts.

• Positive or negative impact is difficult to quantify because of how I use Blogger.
• Outside of using it for SEO purposes, it has absolutely no value for me at all.
• I would say it's safe to say that it has no direct impact on my business, positive or negative.

I have been using Blogger for many years, and from my personal experience, I can say that Blogger is an open-source website that anyone can use, and we don't need to have a paid domain to start blogging. Blogger also provides us access to the source code; hence with the slight knowledge of coding, we can customize our own website as per our own style and features. Even it provides a customized layout option where we can change the layout by just dragging the sections across the layout page. Blogger also gave us an opportunity to earn by making our website public and linking it to Adsense, by which my blogs can reach the vast majority of people. With Blogger, I have created my own educational website where people can learn topics related to Mechanical Engineering and clear their doubts.

• Blogger provides permission to access code
• Availability of customized theme
• Easy to manage and monetization of the blog

• Able to spread my blogs over the wide population for education
• Gives free lifetime domain
• Absent of plugins make my website look less advance and less user-friendly

• Due to the free cost, there is not truly a ROI, but it has helped us recruit a couple new employees.

• Blogger is free so there is no money invested, but the time invested has proven to also be positive.
• Blogger has increased our reach for young adults and given us the opportunity to display more pictures and longer paragraphs that other social media sites. The interest we have accumulated since using blogger has been worth the time and effort we put into using it.
• We have seen that our Blog posts have also attracted parent involvement as well as they are excited to see what ways they can help. It has given us another way to express a need in volunteers.
