Blogger Custom Domain, Blogspot & FTP Publishing Choice for serious blogging

Basically, if you want to be a serious blogger, nothing matters. But if you use a Custom Domain for your blogger blog, there are 2 advantages. One is that, there would be a brand name, and the other, click through rate. CTR in SERPs is the second advantage I was talking about. When you see a blogspot, you wont feel like the information is as authentic as you feel the same about the info in a .com or .net. Same is the case with .info domains. As a website itself is like a brand name which cannot be copied. There is no need for me to trademark it. As it is what you have for yourself. If some one uses Gaminglan.net as a brand name, the site, gaminglan.net gets the traffic, so there is no point using it. So, with your custom domain, you are at your own palace on the web.

If you have any possibility of getting a domain name for you, I will advise you to get one. But if there is no possibility, there is no point discussing or wasting time for getting one.

When you want to talk about FTP publishing, its better to go for Wordpress, than using FTP Publishing. That's the last thing I can talk about as I din't not use it, but I recommend Wordpress in those cases.
