| Blogger Over Wordpress |
I just migrated my WordPress blog to blogger and made blogger my headquarters. Why would I do such a thing when WordPress is the crème de la crème of blog platforms for search engine ranking.
I read a couple of really good articles and here is one on blogger lab, and after conducting my research I discovered there is no longer an advantage with WordPress over Blogger. I also tested my blog with WordPress to see where it ranked with one of my key search terms, and despite many articles on my topic and lengthy ones as well, which Google Search now favors, I did not show up until page 18 of Google.
I had three blogs, one on Wordpress, and two on Blogger. After
learning that Google changed its search algorithms in 2011 to combat content
farms, and now favor websites with lots of information on their topic and
lengthy articles, I decided it was best to consolidate my sites under one blog.
I started to get the idea that Google Blogger was the place
to be when I discovered Google+ and how Google+ affects search ranking.
Google was very smart to tie in their social networking platform with
search. Not to mention that if someone
is in your circle or you are in theirs, if you wrote a article on a topic they
are searching you will show up in their search results. With Google+ I noticed
that I received good comments on my articles, while with Wordpress all I have
ever received is spam.
Wordpress functions differently than blogger, you have plug
ins that allow you to customize your site.
It is not as user friendly as blogger, which is real easy to use. I
hired an individual who had done a previous website for me and he customized my
Blogger to my specs and I based it on a free template that I completely
customized except for the article format.
I exported my Wordpress blog with a gadget I found online
that converted it and was able to restore it with little problems. I found the
directions on Moving
Wordpress to Blogger in this article. The only change I needed to make was
in a couple of Categories that I needed to tweak because they either didn’t
show as a capital letter or needed to be Capitalized to match my Categories in Blogger.
Lastly, I do not have to deal with the cost of hosting, the
hosting platform that I never had the time to learn, or having a website. I
have even done away with my website and moved my site to Blogger. Is Blogger
perfect? No, are there a few things I would fix, yes. I do not like that the
blog description becomes the title of the blog, which I already have in my
customized header so it left me having to make that work for my site so that my
title does not appear twice.
I know that many who come across my blogs, have their own
blogs they write and I realize that I have gone against the status quo by
moving my blog from Wordpress to Blogger so I thought I would write this
article to explain why I have moved from Wordpress to Blogger in case anyone
else is asking the same questions about Wordpress and Blogger that I asked.
If you liked this information and found it informative:
I have a small request. Many read my website and the
information is free of charge and the only revenue coming in from my articles
are from Google Ads, which amount to shockingly such low amounts- literally
pennies- that you cannot count it as a viable source of revenue without
millions of page hits, which this website being a niche site does not get.
Book sales do not generate the income one would expect due to the
hundreds upon hundreds of books published in every category. I do not charge
fees to read my material because I want the information I provide available to
all. So I am requesting your help.
