Blogger vs wordpress from SEO perspective

[TVape]

Blogger is under the google umbrella and of course will be in line with google's strategic moves in the future.That includes commenting with google plus accounts and any future integrations. (google plus will HUGE in the future when it comes to SEO)currently there is no way to host blogger on your own servers, which means all your images and video are not really yours from an SEO perspective.

Wordpress however does not have as much technical restrictions, but eventually it will be a major competitor to blogger. You can host it on your own servers as well. So from an SEO perspective which one is better?

Subdomains are considered separate sites so you.blogger.com doesn't really get any of the good juice from blogger being a Google product.  (Not really anyways)

Wordpress gives you full control. G+ will be important but you can already integrate G+ comments into your site if you want.  With more themes, more support, more plugins and more SEO posts already available to help you, I'd think Wordpress usually wins this debate.

(I wouldn't think you.wordpress.com is better than you.blogger.com but you.com probably kicks the crap out of both.)

Both are good. You cant go wrong with them. It's more of a preference. Ive made both rank so it's not really a problem.

If I was starting from scratch though with no capital (back then free site platforms were very bad) I would go with Google+ and blog there directly lol focusing on G+ now and create the brand there would be what I'd do   Then I would host some content on a personal blog or wordpress/blogspot.

Great answers from the other guys there, I will just say that googles approach while crawling will only ever be about content and mark up, not about brand.

Wordpress and blogger is only as good as the markup you put on it, bad themes, bad markup, but SERPS.
