I agree with you.The easiest and best way to have a website or blog on custom domain is through Blogger. As they set it all up for you.You do not have to do anything such as mapping or point your domain to your blog as you have to with some other sites. Also it is so cheap.I now have 6 blogs on Blogger-all on my own domain! I recomend Blogger to anybody as the service is great. Andrea.

Hey Andy, thanks. This makes perfect sense. However, I’m still getting my feet wet so I’m not ready to purchase. Can you only purchase for one year at a time?

dont i own my blogger blogs?, nobody seems to link to me, anywho?.

The problem is it seems to take forever for the blog to get visitors, none of my blogs are showing up in search engines, so i dont know.

here is some of my blogs, so you can see how i have it set up?.

easy-google-adsense.blog spot. com
laura-vandervort.blog spot. com
karasmallville.blog spot. com
sewerratt. blog spot. com
dont know if these addresses post in youtube text, why do they get no hits?.

lawl, you have 6 subscribers. don’t take your own advice. if you have real followers, they will follow you. you don’t need to purchase real estate on the internet to be popular and youtube users have proven this. if you’re truly interesting, you will make it big no matter what. you just don’t have anything interesting to say and no matter how much of the internet you purchase, that won’t change

Not if you’re trying to build a newsletter or client database.

I like the video and you’re right.

As a result I decided to go to your site. What kind of puzzled me was that I had to give my email address before getting any access…..
