My intention is not to misguide people but to showcase what WordPress offer and how it’s beneficial. I agree with your statement on Database issue. It’s a headache to maintain hosting and Db issues. Though, when it comes to SEO WordPress is way better than BlogSpot.
Here are quick Points: BlogSpot is not SEO friendly by default, you have to hack the template to make it SEO friendly.
Meta Title, Description, Keyword, Robots.txt They can’t be edited straight forward.
These things can be controlled by hacks, though how feasible it’s for everyone? Where as WP plugins are most of the time plug and play.
Even if we ignore this, I would always recommend self hosted WordPress over BlogSpot, as blog is still owned by Google and they have the right to delete it anything…
Also, think of other advantage like you control your own blog, you can block anyone by I.P…. You have plugins to make your life easier… Though, it takes the same time as BlogSpot to learn things with WordPress, but it’s worth…

Androidage I might disagree with the statement on Focus Keyword as it could be achieved on BlogSpot too or any other platform. Provided, you have enough permission to add meta information and obviously content has to be SEO optimized. Though, in WordPress all this things become very easy because of Themes and plugins and as you said, WordPress is more SEO friendly and do we need more reasons apart from SEO when we talking abt Working online?

Thanks for your comment and it’s good to see you expert comment. You mentioned the right key for WordPress popularity and that is continue evolution. With time, they are changing and adopting more current trend. Infact, now they work as trend settler and other platform follows them.
As I mentioned BlogSpot or other platform have their pros and cons but when it comes to select which is the best: There is no second thought about WordPress being there.

Great points, all! To these I’ll add:

• Intuitiveness – through years of refinement, the interface is simple for a beginner to understand, yet fluid enough not to slow down those more experienced.

• Cross-functionality – whether you start with a self-hosted site or with a free wordpress.com blog, the interface remains similar enough so that your knowledge of how to use the platform easily transfers.

I’ve designed custom WordPress themes; self-hosted sites with WordPress as content management system; incorporated WordPress blogs into non-WordPress sites; and of course have a WordPress.com blog. That said, having used other platforms like Blogger or LiveJournal (no disrespect), it’s WordPress for the win in my book.
