Comments on: Should Casual Bloggers Use WordPress or Google Blogger? http://www.blogtrafficexchange.com/should-casual-bloggers-use-wordpress-or-google-blogger/ Driving Quality Traffic to Your Blog Sat, 20 Mar 2010 23:01:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Erik http://www.blogtrafficexchange.com/should-casual-bloggers-use-wordpress-or-google-blogger/comment-page-1/#comment-4170 Erik Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:53:02 +0000 http://www.blogtrafficexchange.com/?p=643#comment-4170 This is interesting, because I have been working with a couple of friends lately to make the transition from Blogger to Wordpress. Their content and blog is TOO good and TOO valuable to be on a .blogspot.com domain. So, I have convinced them to pick a domain name and let me do the rest. Sure, they could switch to the wordpress.com platform, but you stiil don't have the same functionality and freedom of themes/plugins as you do with the full install of wordpress on a dedicated domain. I think that people like you and me should be helping casual bloggers that are serious about blogging regularly make the switch to wordpress.

I'm not sure whether or not embedded affiliate marketing is possible (clickbank, for example) but there is no hope with Google Adsense and wordpress.com. If someone is looking to have a serious blog they need to host it as well, which means paying for it.
