Reviewing the Blogs?

I think it would be helpful to review the blogs, especially from an SEO perspective. Blogger doesn't seem to do as well as some of the real estate specific sites. Just a thought. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I would like to have reviews also - Blogger also does not support catagories (which I think are vital). One of my internet friends and me set up a couple of blogs on blogger and boy were we disappointed. I am now going self hosted (on GoDaddy) wordpress.org for all my blogging needs! I have been REALLY happy! 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

There can be suttle advantages with blogging platforms, but mostly you'll find that the long term advantage lies with content. The consistency, subject focus, link structure and practices used. Obviously the web [and the search engine algorithm] is not static so you have to keep up with it all. We've worked with a few different platforms and, while we believe WP is designed well for SEO, we've had to add a combination of available [plugin] & custom features. You have to manage that all with the updates coming from the core team, which can interfere with templates, plugins and features coming out of the open community. It requires careful revision control management, etc. 3  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?
