    The reasons why you should choose Blogger

    There has a myth about the SEO for Blogger that a blog is hosted on Blogger is less SEO Friendly. But this concept is fully unproved. Because they don't know the mechanism of Google Search Engine, how it crawls and index pages. Where Google suggests other how should organize their website or blogs, will Google build a blogging platform which is less Search Engine Optimization friendly? What a dumbly thought ! If you check the HTML of your Blogger HTML, you will see it follows the Schema Markup and you can fix structured data markup if have any errors.

    I have seen many time, for the specific keyword, Google show the results of blog or website that is hosted on Blogger.  If you have any doubt, then write “Convert HTML to Blogger XML” on Google and check the first result.

  8. Associate with Amazon Affiliate
    For Amazon Affiliate marketing you can choose Blogger platform without any hesitation that does Amazon allow Blogger for affiliate marketing? Because when you create account on Amazon as affiliate marketer, you will see Blogger as an option of Blog management system. And Amazon associates Blogger officially. So you can share affiliate link of products on Blogger blog to earn money.

  2. Freedom of Control
    You can control the basic of blog like deleting, editing, publishing blog, post, page, comment. But if you violate any rule of Blogger content policy, Blogger reserves the rights to delete your blog without notifications. So don't violate content policy.
