Thanks for sharing the video and the artricle.

Wordpress

Lucky my blog is a wordpress one then. Ill need to do some more research on optimising it though.

Wordpress...

Thanks - great article, I think I am going to stick to Wordpress for my blogs which I have found excellent for SEO for my letting websites.

Thanks.

i love blogger

All the content on your

All the content on your blogger site is still indexed..If google indexed search pages then there would be duplicate content.

Blogger is best

Well I have used both wordpress and blogger but my blog in the blogger have come up in the search results whereas wordpress blog
is performing extremely bad.

I am running over 10 blogs

I am running over 10 blogs in blogger and completely satisfied with the service.

Thanks to blogger and google team.

i think

i use blogspot, and i think that is great one.

I thought google was smarter

To be honest I thought google would hire a group of experts in seo to test their algorithm or something. They better get on the ball.

I use Wordpress and

I use Wordpress and Blogspot.

I definitely prefer Wordpress, it's like having a blog on steroids. Write your content and titles correctly and your heading to the front page, if you choose your keywords carefully.

I have accomplished some very good rankings with Goggle blog by creating back links.

This is an excellent video, thanks for sharing.

hi

interesting news, cause i still using blogger.

which blogger or WordPress or b2evolution the best?

huh

This is interesting news, as I am still using blogger. I suppose it is time to do some tests on this again.

I am still wondering why

I am still wondering why would a blog platform owned by Google itself carry a greater burden for getting good rankings on the very search engine that everyone strives to rank well in?

SEO

Is there some secret to getting a comment posted here ? I've tried twice and got nowhere, so this is comment no. 3 which of course has nothin gto do with SEO, but my two previous ones did.

yes lower right corner, login

yes lower right corner, login

wordpress is good

wordpress is good and the best right now with the user friendly seo and mostly support for more plugins to use it.

Wordpress is best

I think wordpress is best. Moreover, my experience with wordpress for SEO has always been good. if you are using wordpress for your blogging purpose or other SEO related issues such as getting links indexed then believe me - You Have Made The Right Decision

Blog for SEO

Chris - I agree with you blog can help you get better PR. But I think wordpress is as good as b2evolution. All you need is a little bit of knowledge and few plugins and it can be equally good as and other blog software.

And thanks for the article.

Bloggers SEO impact

Hi Steve,

I assure you that the blogspot platform is SE friendly, but I tested it out last year and found that it lacked the ability to pass page rank to another website.

Wordpress Rules for Seo with google and Yahoo.

We just went public last month and have been a behind the scenes company,

Well we decided to use a wordpress blog instead of an actuall website or Joomla,

Withing the 3rd week we had a pagerank of three for our homepage and now have a pagerank of two for our contact page,

Wordpress just makes it easier to utilize all the tools needs for keywords and for meta, and web 2.0.

So yes, Google-owned Blogger actually can hold you back if you dot know what your doing.

Great article Chris.

Some of the most sought

Some of the most sought after keyword terms and phrases are sitting on the front page of Google by bloggers using the Google Blogspot platform. Search "Make money online" and see what you find. Look at the number one and number 3 spot. What platform do they use? I recently took a fairly competitive keyword phrase to #1 on Google myself using a blogspot blog as an SEO experiment. I prefer Wordpress myself, but I do not necessarily agree with the statements in this article.
