Blogger or Wordpress?
-
Which one should i use to start my blog on my own domain name?
-
I've got to agree - use WordPress!
-
Use Wordpress, and wordpress.org, not just wordpress.com with your own domain name. With wordpress.org you'll own and host and control the content and can implement 301s and whatever else is needed. You have freedom and options you don't get when it's hosted elsewhere.
-
Agreed with the majority here. Wordpress. I have two blogs on there currently and think it's super simple with plenty of awesome plug-ins.
-
An alternative response, just for the hell of it - I have recently seen examples of Google giving a massive boost to blogspot
http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=curly+hair+images
I trawled through a number of hair related queries and there is a massive over representation of blogspot sites appearing high in image search
If your doing images, Id give it a try

ja - wordpress- so many and usefull plugins!
-
I'll add a vote for Wordpress. I love it.
-
+1 Wordpress.
-
Based on reputation and a limited amount of feedback, I would suggest using your own domain name.
Before making your decision, try Google: "Dont use blogger" and "Dont use wordpress".
Of course there are plenty of people who use each service and are quite happy. Since you are asking the question, you probably want to hear about a few negative experiences so you can make the right decisions.

I have used both and Wordpress is by far the best. Lots of great plug-ins. Very versatile and customizable. A little harder to install and customize but there are lots of capable people who can help you for a fee.

Wordpress - you can't beat it for most websites.

Where to find a directory of industry bloggers
Could anyone out there recommend directory sites containing industry specific bloggers or industry specific guest blogs. Always seems very difficult to come by. For example we have written a great article collaborating with a "hardwood flooring" company and would love to get this published. We are in London. Happy holidays to you all 🙂

With the structure of WordPress when multiple tags are selected, SEOMoz reports show each URL/tag as duplicated content? What to do?
wordpress.com/blogpost/tag/word1 wordpress.com/blogpost/tag/word 2 etc. Same page, but WP generates multiple URLs for each tag. in reports, this shows as duplicate content. Is it something to worry about? If yes, what is the best fix?

Duplicate Page Content WordPress blog with categories?
Just got a crawl report back from SEOmoz and it gives me lots of errors for "duplicate page content". Upon investigating, I notice this is because my WP blog is setup into categories so the home page is almost identical to one of the category pages. None of my actually posts are the same but the category pages have some overlap since the same post could show up in two or more categories. Is this a problem or can I just ignore this error? Any thing I should be doing differently? Thanks!

H1 tag in Blank in Wordpress website
Good evening, I have noticed using some h1 checkers, that my primary h1 tag is blank. I manually introduced an h1 with my main keywords, but system recognises as 2 different h1 tags, and therefore it could be harmful for my SEO purposes. I created my wordpress website using Artisteer. Is there any specific way (or plugin) to change this primary h1 tag so it wont appear as blank? My site is www.outletspain.net Thanks in advance Maria Jesus

How to Integrate a Wordpress Blog into my Website
We are looking at integrating a blog into our website. Unfortunately, our content management system is very clunky and not set up to quickly publish blog style content. I'd like to use Wordpress and set up the blog as a subdomain of my company website. Our URL is www.blockandcompany.com so the blog URL would be www.blog.blockandcompany.com. Is it correct to say that if the blog is set up this way, the search engines will see the regular website and the Wordpress hosted blog as one big site? I want to use the blog to write keyword-rich content, but I don't want to divide my SEO "equity" between two separate sites. Any advice?
