Why Free Hosted Blogs Suck

by Heather Floyd July 23, 2009 18:19

I came across this post today by Lara Kulpa of Ginkgo Consulting, and it very nicely elucidates some reasons I steer my clients away from using free hosted blogging services (wordpress.com and blogger.com) in favor of their own hosted domain name blog.

Read the whole post for the juicy details, but here is the quick summary:

Okay, so now that that’s cleared up, let’s move on to all the reasons why free hosted blogs suck.

  1. As I said previously, lack of freedom. Lack of control. 
  2. They’re simply NOT search engine friendly. 
  3. Limited income opportunities, if any.
  4. Credibility.

Hey Heather! Thanks for featuring my post about this! Let's spread the word and leave the free hosted blogs to the teeny boppers who want to post up their angst-ridden poetry! ;)

Who Is Arachne's Sister?

I consider myself a spiritual sister to Arachne, of ancient greek origin, who was a priestess of the Goddess Athene and  an exceptional weaver. Though I have an interest in the fabric arts, these days most of my weaving happens online - in the form of website development and online marketing, and in building connections and relationships.

My real name is Heather Floyd and for over a decade I have been involved in web and software design and development. Now I help solopreneurs/independent professionals and micro-businesses who are overwhelmed with website options and costs to have a website that gets traffic and generates business with less aggravation and expense.

I also have interests in environmentalism & sustainability issues, personal development, and productivty.
