Well if thats your aim Gary you are probably wasting your time commenting on this blog because my subscribers don’t come anywhere near that amount.

Personally I don’t mind commenting on new blogs that have little traffic and perhaps no subscribers because I like to give them a little encouragement to help them along their blogging career. OF course the post I comment on has to have something of value otherwise I wouldn’t have stopped in the first place.

My main concern is that in promoting my WordPress blog by commenting on other blogs, there’s no way to tell how many subscribers a blogger blog has. What a waist of time for me to sit and read a post and comment on it, if the blog has perhaps less then ten subscribers. But on WordPress blogs using feedburner, I can often find the subscriber count. I want to limit my blog commenting to only those blogs that have at least 1,000 subscribers. Better yet, I spent time this morning commenting on two blogs that have 20,000+ subscribers each! But how many subscribers does any particular blogger blog have? As far as I can tell there’s no way to know.

The main reason for the using these platforms is because its free. Unfortunately there are certain pitfalls like having your account cancelled and losing everything.

I don’t know why anyone would want to make their primary blog reside on a platform they don’t own! It is possible by the way to modify the template to have do follow links. I am not sure you would want to though as blogger seems to attract a lot of spammers.

If you think it is useful you could give it a tweet. I’m sure the blogger would appreciate that.

Sire,

WordPress is still the best for me. Do you know anything better than WP?

As for Blogger, it’s really annoying to comment on those blogs and makes me not to leave a comment. If I think the content or article is useful, then I’ll read it without leaving a comment.

Rone, the captcha and you need to login to put a comment are some of things I usually avoid, however you can get a PR even from commenting at bloggar blogs.

I originally deleted your comment Mark because of the link in your post. There really was no need to link to your blog again when you already have it in the url and commentluv.

As to Blogger, it’s not the layout that bothered me it’s always been the comment form and the extra steps required to leave a comment.

I never used Blogger, but you’re absolutely right: Layout can be crappy, and most annoying is the Captcha input. But this relates to many websites or services. Some numbers or letters are hardly to read. Anyway, I guess WordPress is a far better service to start blogging. I’ve done so with a blog about speed reading techniques. At some stage however, I realised I had to move it completely, it’s just better to have control over certain things. Particularly comments. Thanks, it’s a feature rich comment form. Like the edit function.

If they are going to move their blog at a later date then it would be better to host their own from the beginning rather than lose all that SEO
