(1-5 of 5)Robb's Not Especially Positive Review of Blogger
- 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)
- 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.
- Price
10 Years of experience with Blogger! Honest Review!
- Free.
- Very easy to use.
- Availability of theme templates.
- Lack of 3rd party support and plugins.
- Blogger has always been free to use so it has been a great platform to post relevant news, guides, technical data, etc.
- Drives more traffic to our website.
- WordPress, Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugins, Quora Blogs, Google Analytics, Google Ads (formerly AdWords), Google Domains, Google Forms, Google Pay (formerly Google Wallet), Google Hangouts, Google Trends and Google Voice
Blogger is great for starters!
- Easy to use!
- Analytics are built-in with no necessary plugins!
- Free - Great for a start up blog.
- Easy to manage, monitor, and delete comments.
- Customization - There are slight opportunities for customization, but not enough for a larger business once we took off.
- Doesn't highlight new features, instead makes people hunt for them.
- Free so no return on investment though it has proven to be a great way to start our blog and ultimately gain an audience.
No Coding Experience, No Problem! Blogger is for you!
- Cost - Because Blogger is free we are able to utilize it to its fullest capacity all while paying nothing!
- User friendly - As I previously stated, we are able to post and reach vast amounts of people in a short amount of time because the interface is so easy and user friendly!
- This goes along with user-friendly, but it is amazing how you do not need any coding experience to have a professional looking page.
- Giving the ability to customize pages would be extremely helpful because many people have the idea that all Blogger accounts look the same, which they do look similar.
- Not intended for large corporations.
- Due to the free cost, there is not truly a ROI, but it has helped us recruit a couple new employees.
Excellent platform to express yourself!
- Blogger gives a structured ready to go platform to display your ideas and writings.
- Blogger is easy to use for new users and those who aren't as tech-savvy.
- Blogger has many pre-designed themes.
- Blogger is free!
- You can monetize on a free site, unlike their competitors
- Blogger is not set up as well for all social media platforms.
- 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.
- 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.
- Facebook for Business and WordPress
