I’ve noticed businesses hosting their blog on blogspot!  Hosting your business blog on blogspot is a terrible idea!  Here are a few reason why not to host your business blog on blogspot:

1. Google gets enough traffic: All you are doing by getting a blogspot domain for your business is further helping google gain more traffic they really don’t need.

2. Transferring your data is not easy: Blogger hosts all your data and getting everything transferred is not easy.  Though I was successful transffering from Blogspot to Blogger, it’s not always so easy.

3. Crappy Setup: With blogger you don’t get many options.  You can really add addons besides for widgets.  You can’t upload any files to their server.

4. Start right from the start:  The investment is not expensive.  $10 at the most for a domain per year, plus free to $6 per month hosting.  Plus, you can claim this against you taxes.
