Blogger is a web-based tool that helps you publish to the web instantly whenever the urge strikes. It's the leading tool in the rapidly growing area of web publishing known as weblogs, or "blogs". It gives you an easy way to publish your blogs without needing any installation or coding knowledge. By simply encoding and uploading your content, it will automatically appear as a new blog post.
Aside from that, Blogger is free, and you don’t need to pay for hosting your site or published content. Even if you don’t have much knowledge of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, you can still design your blog site like a pro. With the help of free blog templates, you can select a theme that fits your lifestyle and resonates with your content and target audience.
There are also many free third-party templates available for use. Some are inspired by WordPress designs and other popular websites. By simply keeping the backlinks to the original author, you can freely use the professional templates offered by other web developers.
The SEO settings for Blogger are already installed, so you don’t have to start from scratch. If you’re knowledgeable enough to make advanced SEO tweaks, you can do so with Blogspot blogs. Just go to your Blogger dashboard, then Settings, where you can find all the search engine optimization options to help your blog rank higher in Google search results.
One more thing to add about Blogger is that it’s Google AdSense ready. By default, you already have an option to monetize your blog using AdSense. Before going down that path, make sure you have good quality content published on your blog before deciding to sign up for an AdSense account.
