I blog with wordpress.com and recently i made a post about how I was contemplating blogger and wordpress in term of SEO. This is the umpteenth site I’ve visited. Either i blog with wordpress.org or I switch to blogger…I think that; the bottom line

I agree with Onno. I started out with Blogger but switched to WordPress out of sheer frustration and have since nursed a couple of newbies through startup and it’s much easier, and more intuitive.
The only reason Blogger is so popular is because it is linked to other software like Picasa.

“If you want easy, choose Google Blogger”. Funny, I have come to the opposite conclusion! See my ‘Blogspot vs WordPress’ article on my blog!

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 think it is also noteworthy that WordPress.com doesn’t allow a person to put any kind of ads on their blog. 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.
