It’s fair I think. I’m not an anti Wordpress or what. Heto pa pansin ko, lakas ng algo ng blogger. Kahit may nauna na nagpost sa akin na blog site with the same content tapos hindi blogspot gamit nya, una pa rin ako sa engine nila. Tapos nagbigay pa ng pr 3 yung google sakin in 2 months. Nakakaloka! Buti na lang nag CD-blogspot ako hehe

just read this 2007 today (12/08), and i’ve always noticed Google has consistently given top preference to its subsidiaries/affiliates…..that’s also why I’ve kept my blogsites in “blogger.com” even though i’ve moved just recently most contents found in those sites to “wordpress” (which blog service i noticed recently to be more user-friendly)….but what more can i say about google? it’s just being very business-like in its behavior just like other huge businesses out there! & this is actually, being strategic! ha ha ha!

best – Jerome

Yeah, as much as I love Google, sometimes it’s hard to take them seriously as a “resource” when they so blatantly put their own products in front of everyone. And let’s not even talk “don’t be evil”…

I just created a blogger account last week and made a post. Lumabas lang ang site ko sa google search engine after 2 days then ngayon, wala na ulit! Why oh why!!! Google have you failed me?

Perhaps google just trust blogger more because it has no broken links, perfect formatting and design perfection in their eyes.
My blogs always do better on google then on Yahoo or msn.

hey, well of course google will enter a direct video link from youtube on the google search, because that is part of their company, it’s fair enough in my opinion…

of course there are other public video databases, but there is always the chance of freudulent content, google’s mass of staff try to keep upto date on all content and make sure it’s correct and accurte, but the magority of that will be within it’s own database.

i don’t wanna cause a stir or anything but, google in general always keep in mind about the freedom of information, and it’s their main goal, even all the pirated content that is put on google, google got in a bit of trouble for all this, but they’ve been fighting to try and get videos of tv shows and movies on youtube for free (for us, using thier great skill at advertising, with out anoyence)

and video’s are only one example of what google does.

i wouldn’t compare google to microsoft, never, sure alot of microsoft’s staff are completly inocent of any branding and corporate sponsership, but there is a basis that staff have to work upon, and microsoft always force thier own premotion above the point of the product.

nice to read the blog, hope to hear from ya.

It’s not a surprise if Google favors their own products.

Wrong! Google Search does not favor any Blogspot, or Blogpots, blogshot or whatever! Gaining a good ranking on google search depends on the traffic your site is receiving, probably that guy’s old wordpress blog didn’t get so much traffic.

And speaking of traffic, your blog should be defined clearly in terms of keywords. I own a wordpress account, and by the Grace of God, it’s really getting a lot of hits because every post is being tagged accordingly.

Google is not favoring YouTube, it’s part of an upgraded feature of Google search that allows YouTube videos to be included in the search results. YouTube has the largest collection of videos.

Lesson: Use blogspot? NOPE! Wordpress is way better than Blogspot! Try it.

It’s a rather obvious thing. You use google search… ofcourse their stuff would come out first. Resistance is futile!

If SEO matters to you, go with Blogger. If it doesn’t, go with Wordpress. If it sorta matters to you, create a mirror Blogger account that points to your main site.

that’s why i’m sticking it out with blogspot. though not as many themes and features compared to wordpress, blogspot is easy to learn. maybe if they have a premium blogspot service, I would gladly upgrade.
