Default Is Wordpress the most popular blogging platform?
I am curious. Blogger is owned by Google, and is ranked very high (4) in Alexa. Do you think that Wordpress is more popular, adding the download count of Wordpress.org blogs, blogs online, and the blogs hosted by Wordpress already on Wordpress.com?

I reckon Wordpress is more popular, but I am unsure how to find out. I just think Blogger has more hits overall.

Wordpress is definitely more popular than blogger at the moment.

Wordpress is #27 worldwide in Alexa, Blogger is 9, I think Blogger is more popular, but not the most preferred.

Blogger has dropped. It was 4 a few weeks ago. I checked while I was at college. Must of got a big burst of traffic or something.

I guess it is true, that its more popular, but people prefer Wordpress. Silly, but probably true.

Well more people probably have blogger blogs because blogger is around a long time and wordpress is quite new.

Does anyone know when Wordpress started? I know Blogger is older, but is it really that much older?

It must just be the publicity of the site!

I think that wordpres is 5 years old but not 100% sure about that.

Blogger is about 9-10 years old,right?

Wordpress is becoming more popular due to the features. All in one SEO plugin is a great resource for getting better SERP.

Blogger started in 1999 by a company called pyra labs. Then google bought it in 2003. Now blogger is the most used blogging platform in the world

I'd say Wordpress is more popular now than blogger (with active blogs).

Blogger probably has more blogs, but most will be inactive.

I disagree, I think Blogger is more known than Wordpress.
Wordpress might be more active, but Blogger is more popular.

Which is what I said. Wordpress will have more active blogs than blogger and in that sense i'd say it's more popular.

Oh I see what you are saying, you are saying it's more popular by the number of active blogs, but I am saying it is more popular by how widely known it is, not how much it is used.
My definition of popular, is how much it's known, not most used.

I see the confusion.

Wordpress.com has better blogs than Blogger.

Quantity wise, I think blogger still holds the lead.

Should wordpress.com allow ads, they'd leave Blogger high and dry.

That is a big minus for wordpress,everyone wants to monetize their blogs a bit and you can easily do that with blogger.

Blogger is more popular because when you signup for an email account at gmail.com you can log into anything google runs, like blogger.com
