Yes, it's true that you can get found easier on blogspot if you have a blogger blog, however, to get your site noticed you have to "ping" your blog. There are so many successful bloggers that use WordPress. WordPress has pinging features built into it. When you ping your blog you alert pinging services who alert search engine spiders and also these pinging services alert other blog directories that will list your blog and get it found by others. Heck, even Matt Cutts from Google uses WordPress and not blogger. Not saying that is a reason to use it, but many pro bloggers recommend hosting your own blog over using a blogging service. But I say it's probably best to have more than one blog. Some hosted on your own sites and some blogger/livejournal type blogs.
There are advantages to using a service or hosting your own blog. You have to weigh them out and see which is right for you, the individual, if you only want to go with one and not the other. There is no black and white right or wrong solution.
Be aware that blogger is implementing some rough anti-spam measures these days to curtail auto-blogging (splogs) and many legit blogger blogs (even very old ones getting lots of traffic) are getting disabled beyond recovery. Something to think about before you use blogger these days. If you do, save your posts on your HD.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
