WordPress.com vs WordPress.org
WordPress.org is where we get the open source blogging software that is freely available to anyone to download. The software must be downloaded and installed onto a computer.
WordPress.com is the online counterpart, much like blogger.com. You cannot add plugins etc. like you can do with an independent wordpress installation downloaded from wordpress.org. It’s a web site that provides blogs hosted free of charge. The software on WordPress.com is very similar but not exactly the same software you can download from WordPress.org. It is a multi-user version of WordPress that allows many thousands of blogs to be hosted on a single web server. The free blog hosting does not come with the ability to upload plugins or themes.
WordPress.org Pros [Standalone Software]
- Ability to upload themes
- Ability to upload plugins
- Great community
- Complete control to change code if you’re technically minded
WordPress.org Cons
- You need a good web host, which generally costs $7-12 a month
- Requires more technical knowledge to set up and run
- You’re responsible for stopping spam
- You have to handle backups
- You must upgrade the software manually when a new version comes out
- If you get a huge spike in traffic (like Digg or Slashdot) you site will probably go down
WordPress.com Pros [The Website]
- It’s free and much easier
- Everything is taken care of: setup, upgrades, backups, security, etc
- Your blog is on dozens of servers, so it’s highly unlikely it will go down due to traffic
- Your posts are backed up hourly
- You get extra traffic from blogs of the day and tags
- You can find like-minded bloggers using tag and friend surfer
- Your login is secure (SSL) so no one can get into your account if you use wifi
WordPress.com Cons
- Limited customization of themes (though we’re adding more every day)
- You can’t hack the code behind your blog
- Cannot add plugins
Hi fellow internet marketer.
I found this blog using a piece of software called PR Backlink. It is a desktop blog search engine that will find all your keywords. I would like to give you a copy of this software. Just click on my hot link.
You can use it for both traffic and back links. And best of all it is FREE.
Thanks, And thank you blogmaster in advance for leaving this comment up.

One of the most effective ways of driving traffic to a blog is often a banner exchange that shares the same genere. This is the source of a large number of repeat visitors when quality content is presented. visit 5to4.com
