Is there an SEO Penalty for hosting a blog on blogger.com vs my domain?

reseller hosting
bigmark1972 asked:


I am looking to do some affiliate work and generate adsense revenue using blogs. Is there a significant SEO disadvantage to hosting my blogs on blogger.com vs my own domain name?

I would think getting a reseller host and making a new domain for each niche would be the best option. eg www.niche keyword/blog

This may not be cost effective so what would be better from an SEO standpoint;

www.blogger.com/niche keyword/blog

or

www.mydomain.com/niche keyword/blog

there is no penalty but more gain actually if you use google own blogs it gives higher ranks. I prefer this keyword/blog

Having your own domain name is always better, it is easier to sell advertising. Send an email to for information on how to get a free .com, .net or .org domain name
