which one is better for making money in the long run? i've tried both but i only have time to invest in one. blogger was alot easier to use and easy to set up adsense. wordpress was a bit longer to figure out and use and i did not figure out how to set up adsense there yet, however, i feel that wordpress.com is much more powerful. in the long, which one would allow for more ads or allow me to make more money?
but are you talking about wordpress as in the self-installaion from wordpress.org where you have to host the site yourself? or are you about wordpress.com?
i don't have my own site, thus i need to use wordpress.com since they host free blogs there. in my case what would u think is better? blogger.com or wordpress.com?
WordPress is definitely the way to go if you have some degree of technical knowledge of web design. Some knowledge of PHP can enhance the capabilities of your site in certain areas, but it isn't necessary. However, WP's plugin and widget architectures are endlessly useful, both for the design and function of the site, and for back-end concepts like SEO, logging, image gallery maintenance, and so on. There is also a huge selection of premade themes and templates to get you set up pretty quickly. The only problem with WordPress is that it's a bit CPU intensive when things get really busy, so you have to make sure you have a host that has a boatload of CPU power. I am with BlueHost (though I am not actively running a blog at the moment, but I maintain the hosting and domains) and they have CPU limitations. When my old review blog got hit with the Digg Effect, it utterly died under the pressure. I had to spend an hour just trying to get into my admin panel to install a static page plugin to lighten the CPU load so the site wasn't constantly redlining the SQL databases.
If your only intention of making a website is to serve as many ads as possible, you may need to overhaul your PR department.
Yeah, that was my problem. I was completely unprepared for the Digg Effect and had nothing installed to alleviate it. Uploading the cache plugin was easy, but I had to fight through a thousand hits a minute just to get to the admin panel -- very, very slowly -- so I could activate it. By then though the Digg article was filled with hundreds of "site's broken" comments. It was kind of embarrassing. Still got 30K hits through that day though, but I shudder to think how many didn't get through. So yeah, you never know if and when you'll get linked on a high profile site, so have a cache plugin on hand just in case.
