And there doesn't seem to be much in terms of SEO help for instance a lot of the terms even though it's with Google didn't match up to what I was used to and you would think a lot of the things that Google uses to rank would be included but they are not for instance meta tags and all that stuff would be a lot easier to access or utilize. It's extremely bare bones > > It's my favorite in order to pass Google ads and then I have so far tended to switch over to another platform once I've been "certified" ----- ### "Blogger Review" — 5.0/5 > **Refioe** | *12 June 2024* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I'm fond of this platform because it has created a pathway for people who yearn to start blogging without paying any monthly fee; creating more opportunities to invest money on marketing the website. I love Blogger so much. > > **Cons**: In all honesty; nothing, zilch. I love everything about Blogger and I urge those who wish to start blogging to consider the above-mentioned platform. > > It has been a lovely experience, I haven't encountered anything worth disliking. ----- ### "Relatively easy way of getting your thoughts online" — 3.0/5 > **Julian** | *23 October 2024* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: A relatively easy way to get your thoughts online \& in front of readers. > > **Cons**: Limited range of fonts (unless you hunt out more), odd labelling, fiddly insertion of pictures, occasional HTML snafus. > > Allows you to quickly launch \& publish blogs with a fairly intuitive interface. Feels a little old-fashioned now, but pretty reliable - \& links well to Google ecosystem, of course. ----- ### "Blogger Review" — 5.0/5 > **Luke** | *18 January 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really liked the ability to create a page for blogging or writing articles and also reading other peoples work > > **Cons**: It can feel a bit like a social media, it could be designed in a way to make it appear more professional ----- ### "A free blogging platform with some limitations to consider" — 4.0/5 > **Vassilis** | *23 August 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Several years ago I started building a professional blog using Blogger, because it is free, easy to use and has a great integration with other Google services. For example, the option to import photos from Google Photos to my posts is really convenient and saves me time and effort (and storage, in some cases) from uploading photos to another platform. The same goes for the integration of YouTube videos, which is seamless. The interface is easy to use and lean, without the bells and whistles of other blogging platforms. There is also the option for manually tweaking the interface/layout. As I am also managing various WordPress sites/blogs, I find Blogger much more easy to use for blogging purposes, with its limited functionalities helping the user to focus on the content and not the visuals or other aspects. Blogger used to have an old-fashioned user interface, but it was recently revamped and new options/themes were introduced. I find the upgraded Blogger much more appealing than its past version. Another thing I like is the mobile app that allows me to prepare new posts on the go, when I am not around my laptop. It is not perfect, but does the work for short posts enriched with images. > > **Cons**: Compared to other blogging platforms, Blogger has limited customization options (e.g. a few themes) and lacks the administrative/blog management options that one might want/need. Plus, I miss the integration with the now defunct Google+, where I was able to tag/mention friends and colleagues in my posts. When I adopted Blogger as my blogging platform, the integration with Google+ was definitely a factor that affected my selection. The lack of third-party add-ins, widgets etc. is also hard to go unnoticed - the blog would definitely benefit in terms of functionality and appearance from them, as in the case of WordPress. I also had a hard time when I tried to export the content and import it to another blogging platform. It may be possible with the use of third-party tools, but in no way it is a match for the formatted export options of WordPress. Last but not least, having a self-hosted blog based on Blogger does not seem to be an option, which is an issue for companies that need to integrate it in their own ecosystem and avoid being dependent on Google. > > What started many years ago as a personal blog describing my professional activities, ended up as a company (a company that I am no longer working for) blog for describing the team's activities in general. The option of having multiple blog authors helped a lot in the management of our blog and we could easily integrate resources from the corporate Google account, such as photos and documents. Another use of Blogger we found was the development of microsites for events, like Conferences and Workshops. We had the opportunity to develop about a dozen without much effort, and keep them as points of reference for the events, sharing publications and even asking participants to vote for them, using the integrated Blogger option. After all these years, I still maintain my Blogger-powered professional blog while my ex company has now turned to Medium for blogging purposes, having also changed scope of business and tone of communication since then. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/262729/blogger?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/262729/blogger) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
