A lot of blogs use wordpress or blogspot, are these blogs still useful for SEO in terms of linkbuilding, or should they be avoided?

I am very new to linkbuilding and SEO as a whole, so please forgive my ignorance.

Reaching out to bloggers is a common tactic, but I've found a lot of people tend to blog with the assistance of wordpress or blogspot. I was wondering whether these blogs are still useful for SEO or if it is best to avoid them?

Thanks in advance,

Lewis

Hello Sam,

Besides de question whether Wordpress or Blogstpot is useful, analyze every site as equal: Check its backlinkprofle, where visits come from, content quality and frequency posting and any other SEO metric you know.
Remember Google will like the links coming from good quality sites, without thinking too much about the platform where its published.

There are some folks out there saying that using free platforms (wordpress, blogspot, drupal, blog.com or any other) have less "power" or "SEO Juice" assigned by Google. I have not read any good case study that proves that.

Hope it helps.
Best luck.
GR.

Great help from G. Riera. That's why I never think of BlogSpot or WordPress.
