Blogger is under the umbrella of Google, the search engine with the greatest share in the market. Although there may not be sufficient proof that blogs on Blogger could be indexed more by Google over Wordpress, the fact that Google can access files over Blogger (to determine which topics and keywords were usually discussed in support of their pay per click advertising or any other search engine marketing) can possibly make Blogger to have a greater edge in Google's search engine indexing over Wordpress. Blogger's add gadget option allows the blogger to allow advertisers to take part of such gadget on his behalf upon payment. This makes Blogger, advertising-ready, for those who haven't had any personal or company domain in the world wide web. But for business entities who have already established a domain, a Wordpress interface proves to be commercially appealing. So, Blogger is generally ideal for novice bloggers and Wordpress could be compatible with experienced ones.

Wordpress has a greater option for templates and themes for the blogging page. Especially for experienced programmers and web designers, Wordpress provides a lot of pug-ins to fully customize the blogging environment to a wide stream of blog preferences. In addition, Wordpress has also increased its blogging storage capacity to 3Gb which means a lot more space for blog entries. Many also favored the neatness of Wordpress which are more compatible for the business atmosphere. Wordpress also enables bloggers to upload files which is not yet supported by Blogger. Wordpress even spared additional pages for blogger's identity and information as well as contact information of which is limited in Blogger's profile options. Wordpress has anticipated that a blogger might want to change his blog URL. Blogger does not allow change-of-URL option to create your new blog page.

A blog is an essential tool for a website's improvement in terms of customer satisfaction. It also feeds the site for better search engine placement, especially for the targeted set of keywords on search engines like Google and Yahoo. Blogging platforms like Wordpress and Blogger are two of the readily-available tools in the internet which could be useful for both business and personal purposes of blogging. Of course these blogging platforms may change every now and then, a healthy competition that drives them to make their services better.
