If one consider blogging and earning at the same time it lacks to Blogger or Blogspot in terms of monetisation of a page. WordPress doesn’t extend you the option to earn few buck from the popularity rank of your page. We know Blogger being a Google product does support Google Adsense but not that trait in WordPress. There have been quite a success story of bloggers in Blogspot... Yes, in comparison to the range of services available in WordPress in terms of Themes (very limited) and Widgets (not all for free users) as you said in your post, it is quite advance. But don’t you think users should be allowed to monetize their part too. What is the prime concern involved for not making it completely free???? If someone wants to build his/her own web page, as a general reader, or writer or user or a professional of any kind, then S/he has to go through a daunting task of domain registration and hosting service etc.. In that case, I think it falls behind others. WordPress has been extensively used as a SEO tool or a platform to make websites using the well-structured content management websites, but not for bloggers.
