Many people nowadays talk about blog. And many more are coming rapidly and utilizing the services provided by it. But it is shameful thing for us that we use blog every day in our life but don’t know what it actually is? So here is it for all the beginners.
A Blog is a Webpage in which content updated regularly or with a time for gaining pleasure or name and frame or monetization. In Blog we can share our feelings, emotions and many more.
The term "blog" comes from two words - web and log (web log). It is a journal where your thoughts and opinions are recorded, just like the paper-based journal, but with three distinct differences (that I could think of);
1.It is published on the internet rather than on paper.
2.It is open for public to read (this is optional).
3.It is interactive –readers can leave comments and you can answer them.
A blogger is a great tool for making your thoughts and views worldwide. Some of the benefits of using blogger are;
1.Free Custom Design:
Blogger provides us with free designing. You can design your website as much as you can. There is no limitation for designing and the most important thing is that it is completely free. Moreover it is hosted by Google and that makes it somewhat especial and secure too.
2.Free Hosting:
Via blogger you will get a complete (100 %) free hosting. In other sites like wordpress you will have pay money for custom domain (domains ending with .com, .org, .in, etc) but in blogger you can utilize your custom domain if you had previously. So you will not have to lose a penny.
3.Monetization without Investment:
Monetization refers to advertising of one’s site. In blogger you can advertise via adsense completely free. Just you have to be applicable for it. If you are under the policies of it you can advertise easily by filling out the form in monetize tab of blogger. But in other sites you may be requiring custom domain.
4.Quick indexing of contents (posts, pages, etc.):
Because blogger is hosted by Google itself it will index your contents in your blog quickly. This will lead to promotion of your blog and result more amount of targeted visitors.
You can get many blog hosting sites. But the famous two blog hosting sites are blogger and wordpress. Blogger sites ends with .BlogSpot extension and wordpress sites ends with .wordpress extension. There are more advantages for beginners in blogger so we recommend you to use blogger.
