Blogger is the website you go to for creating and maintaining a blog on Blogspot, which is the domain name for the blogs associated with Blogger. Blogger is a very easy-to-use site, owned by Google and tied into other Google accounts and applications. Blogger is free and offers lots of options but you must have a Google account to use. Of the free blog services we researched, this is probably the easiest to use and the most popular. Because Blogger is associated with Google, it is most easily indexed by the Google search index. You can use Google Analytics to track traffic, which is more complex than other blog tracking services.
