Strong and Free
I use Blogger for a variety of purposes, including curating a local news website. The platform allows me to easily upload news items, photos, and more. It is simple to use and a product that I use several times per week. I've been using it for more than a decade now.
- Simple to use
- Easy to set up
- Easy to integrate
- Easy to publish articles to the web
- Easy to publish photos
- Some features and UI are on the older side (though I don't mind this)
- Google changed integration on custom domains
- Easy publishing
- Ease of use
- Ease of editing
- Helped to share to FB
- Creates a permanent record we can use later
- No major negatives
I've used both extensively and like both of them. Each has its strengths and weaknesses and some of the difference is through the use of HTML vs CSS. Both function well for this purpose and both allow for customization of elements, including sidebars and widgets. One major difference is that there are paid functions in WordPress but not in Blogger.

Robb's Not Especially Positive Review of 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.
- As I mentioned earlier, external backlinks.
- Writing small, quick articles that don't require a lot of formatting or visual content.
- Adding up to 200 characters worth of relevent hash tags.
- Adding a relatively long, detailed title for your post.
- Adding a relatively long, detailed description for your posts.
- Formatting, especially for visual content is abysmal.
- Don't even think about trying to write a long post in Blogger. There is no easy way to structure one.
- Even though it's a Google product, you really have to poke around outside of Blogger to learn how to create an XML file that you can submit to Google Sitemaps.
- Google does not give you an over-abundance of tools for creating a visually attractive blog.
- 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.
- WordPress and TypePad (discontinued)
I started using Blogger instead of TypePad because Blogger was free and like so many other early web products. TypePad could not keep up with changes in how things were evolving and was not worth the money you paid for it. If you need a blog that has any level of real complexity, needs formatting, and a decent amount of visual content WordPress.org type sites/blogs smoke Blogger every time. There is no comparison. You can create complex documents with all kinds of visual content that you could never do in Blogger. WordPress.com blogs are a different story and no longer have any real value for me because of changes to how their formatting is done (I'm not especially tuned into blocks). At this point, I would rather use Blogger because I can knock out a post that is focused on enhancing my main site's SEO a lot faster.

Owner and director of marketing. That would be me. I write the copy for the blog, podcast, and videos. I made/make the decisions on the philosophy behind the content and help shape the voice. Whenever possible, we always want to tell a story about what we are providing to the customer.

You have to understand basic SEO and very definitely understand metatag titles, descriptions, keyword phrases, and hashtags. You also have to implicitly understand that all of the above has to be 100% relevant to the content in the post. It also helps if you can write well enough to hold someone's interest for about 1200 characters.
- External backlinks.
- Quick, concise product explanations.
- Concise and easy-to-understand explanations of semi-scientific concepts.
- Using it for external back-linking.
- Nothing else that I can think of.
- Unless Google surprises me and dramatically expands the formatting capabilities of the product, I can't see anything else I could use it for.
Yes
TypePad. I ditched TypePad because they changed how it worked and made it a lot more complicated without creating any added benefits. It became a lot more trouble than it was worth. Also, Blogger was free. After a couple of years, I replaced Blogger with a WordPress.org blog and haven't looked back.
- Price
Yeah, it was free and TypePad was charging you on a monthly basis. After TypePad rewrote the app it was a total mess so switching to a free blog app was an easy decision.
Considering when this happened and how relatively primitive software was compared to today I don't think I would have changed anything. Even back then, you had certain expectations of the software, and if it let you down too many times you ditched it and moved on. Also, there was not a lot of viable competition so when something better and cheaper showed up you just made the move.
I don't think Google even has premium support for their free apps. Unless you're paying, their support team isn't playing...
No
LOL!!! If it happened it happened in another galaxy, maybe another dimension.

Blogger: A website you need to spread knowledge across the world
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.
- Free domain provider
- Provide access to source code
- Wide availability of theme
- No need to be expert in coding
- Simple integration with Adsense, and no limit in earning once our blog becomes popular
- Lack of plugins in Blogger
- 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
I've selected Blogger due to its simple user interface and open source feature. I can make my pages within a few minutes and add them to my website quickly, unlike other software, Iike Wix or WordPress, which is more advanced and requires pre-learning to make efficient use of them. With Blogger, I can start my blog building directly without any prior knowledge and coding.

- With a few clicks you can make a new blog
- And being a product of Google, it has high security and can't be hacked unless Google Account is hacked!
- Can add multiple authors easily
- Blogger helped me a lot in my starting days
Blogger was free to use, which is the main thing. And it was super easy to use and get started with.
