    Hard to find on Google. When entering a search keyword on Google, most likely no blog from Blogspot will appear. Therefore, Blogspot is not the right choice if you want your blog to be famous.

    Not professional looking. Blogspot is not the right medium to build a brand. The amount of spam that is done with blogspot.com reduces the credibility of this platform.

    Hard to get backlinks. Backlinks are one way to make your blog easy for Google to find. But with the reasons above, the blog owner or other websites are usually reluctant to provide backlinks if you use Blogspot.

    Can be used to create emails. Domain owners can also create an email account with their blog name behind it, such as aguspurnomo@monitoringoil.com. If used in a business context, of course, the email address makes you look professional.
