Blogspot versus Vox

I must say Vox is much easier to use. Uploading of pictures, formatting of the posts. For the last post, I had to do some manual HTML coding. Crazy.

That said, blogspot seems to be much better for SEO and ranking stuff. Google Analytics is really wicked. You know, I always thought that Search Engine Optimization was some mystical art form. It's not. Want a good ranking when people search for 'shopster blog' in Google? Put 'shopsterblog' in your URL (shopsterblog.blogspot.com), and host your blog on the preferred blog platform of Google.

I mean it's crazy, on Vox I had routine posts about Shopster since January, and I didn't make it past 7th on the Google rankings. With just the one post before here on Shopster's Insider's Blog, I already jumped up to 4th.
