Hello All! I am George Pierce, this post is about Blogger (blogger.com aka blogspot.com), a free blog, along with:
1: Why you need a blog
2: Why use Blogger
3: Why Blogger is your best choice
The following is based on my knowledge, opinion, and experience.
Why do you need a blog?
TRAFFIC!!!
Blogs are a way for you to generate traffic, they can be a free traffic magnet using the power of SEO. You can then use the traffic that your blogs generate in so many ways. I generally use blogs to drive my free blog traffic to squeeze pages, landing pages, videos, or websites. You can also add banners, links, and ads to your blog. Blogs are simply an added opportunity for you to make money, grow your list, boost your channel or website, build your membership, increase donations, and so on.
Why use Blogger?
EASY!!! FREE!!!
Blogger is extremely easy to use. Blogger is very user friendly and perfect for newbies. You will be able to set up your blog and create posts with no previous skill. There is no cost. There is no limit...as far as I know, you have no limit on the length of your posts or the number of your posts. In addition, Blogger is owned by Google which also owns YouTube, so if you are using videos to promote your efforts or if you are growing a YT channel, you re-post your videos on Blogger with minimal effort. Click on media, then YT, and a list of your videos will appear, click on the one that you want, add text, and post.
Why is Blogger best?
Because Blogger is so easy to use, it is FAST! Most new IMs are not aware of the value of speed. The more you can do, the more you increase your chances for success. Once you gain experience, the more you can do, the more money you will make.
As mentioned, Blogger is owned by Google which also owns YT, which might mean an SEO advantage.
Blogger is the first and original blog platform which means that it has already been around for over 20 years. Posts on Blogger should benefit your cause indefinitely.
Blogger will let you know whenever a comment is made (see above), so you can respond which leads to more engagement, an SEO signal that search engines live.
Blogger integrates with Google: All you need to sign up with Blogger and get its Google+ features, which almost every business owner has. Google holds many of Blogger’s best features, including AdSense, Analytics, and storage. You can even link your blog with your Google+ account to make it more shareable and reach a wider audience.
Most blogs, including Blogger, also have an RSS feed for added sharing.
Fast Performance: Because it’s integrated with Google, Google takes care of performance. Blogger doesn’t show its age through speed. With Google’s help, its performance boosts its ranks in search engines, since speed and performance make websites stand out when it comes to SEO. As your blog grows, performance is not going to be an issue.
Store posts and photos: With Picasa, which you also get through Google, you can store and edit any pictures in your blog posts. This feature comes with Google, too, and it gives you access to all your images.
My experience dates back to BEFORE weblogs (blogs) were invented. I have tried many free and paid blogs, and most are excellent, but the only reason that I can think of for NOT using Blogger is that it is simple. Personally, that does not matter, however, Blogger is basic.
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce

Thanks for the reminder. I need to visit my blogger blog. After all it's owned by Google and will get indexed and rank faster if your content is indexable and good of course. Great write up about it Blogger.
About getting indexed, Blogger still allows access to HTML for metadata. Thank you, Terri.
If you are a newbie, the top left pen-like symbol on your Blogger page will get you to the source (HTML) and you can use free sites such as Free Meta Tag Generator to create your metadata, then just copy and paste it into the source, if you are using an HTML editor, paste your data between head and head.
