Ultimate List of Free Blogging Platforms
The purpose of this post is to create an index of the free blogging platforms that are available on the Internet.
I have used many of these free blogging platforms to create quick and dirty affiliate marketing sites. I find that Google really likes several of these platforms, for example Sampa. Any time I create a Sampa page, I have very good luck in getting ranked very high in Google for the keywords that I am targeting.
While I don’t recommend that you use these platforms for your primaryblogs (always own your domain names), they are great for affiliate marketing and niche marketing sites.
Here is the Ultimate List of Free Blogging Platforms:
- Aeonity.com
- blog.com
- blogates.com
- blogetery.com
- blogger.com
- blogr.com
- blogsome.com
- blogster.com
- bravenet.com/webtools/journal/
- clearblogs.com
- ehow.com
- googlepages.com
- hubpages.com
- iseekblog.com
- myspace.com
- pbwiki.com
- quazen.com
- rticlz.com
- sampa.com
- squarespace.com
- squidoo.com
- stikipad.com
- thoughts.com
- tumblr.com
- wikispaces.com
- wordpress.com
I am sure that I have missed many. Please leave a comment with the name of any that I have missed and I will add them to the list. I will also give you credit by linking to your blog.

Informative post. Didn’t realize there were so many out there. Personally I’ve found wordpress to be adequate for my hosted blog. For my free blog Popular Gaming Culture I just host on Blogspot.

Cool, I’ve been experimenting with these recently for affiliate marketing. These are my findings from that list:
- Squidoo is not doing well, the sites keep dropping out of Google.
- Hubpages is doing slightly better.
- I tried blogger before and they rank, but don’t rank high.
- Wordpress are finicky about affiliate links so I dont use them
- Tumblr deleted my account after the Thirty Day Challenge so I steer clear now!
Those are the only ones I’ve used. I’ll have to check out Sampa, not tried those yet.

I am glad that you guys liked the post. If you know of any other platforms please tell me and I will add it to the list with a link to your blog.

Thanks Fred,
We have a couple of groups starting the ThirtyDayChallenge in October, the 15th to be exact and I will pass along your site for their review (we have 19 in the group so far). It will be a great help to many of our newbies! Heck, there are many here that I had never heard of. Thanks again and keep the good information coming!

Thanks,

WOW.. And I thought there are only Blogger, Wordpress.com and Blogsome!!

Pinyo | October 16th, 2007 at 3:46 pm #
Didn’t know there are so many. I think WordPress is still the best on that list.

Guess which participant will give you the best return for your comment effort.
Table of Link Values of participants
Just a quick survey of how many links on each participants article page.
It will eventually be an article but I thought you would like to see the table. I was amazed!

Thanks for the list, and the idea to do affiliate marketing with it. I’ve been thinking of doing affiliate marketing for my book on mySelf Adjusting Technique. And, being so new to doing this kind of thing, I don’t know if this a href tag will work right or not! It’s fun to learn though. Thanks for your help.

Hello!
Great compilation and good to know what Google likes in particular. I have another one for you SuperSized.org. The platform is based on Serendipity – s9y.org – Weblog software.
* Hosting is free
* You can use your own domain name ! That’s a cool feature.
* And you can take your blog to any host later. All you need to do is to install S9Y software, which is free and import the content. Done!
* Seems like nothing to loose.
I am not using their free hosting, but I use Serendipity, which is kind of underrated blog software like Linux versus MS Windows. You might want to check it out and add it to the list.
– John

What about LiveJournal (and GreatestJournal, InsaneJournal, DeadJournal, Blurty)? And Vox?
Thanks for the list. I didn’t know most of those hosts. Now I definitely have to take a look at Sampa.
I should also add your list to my del.icio.us bookmarks.

Your post has made it to the top 10. I deleted 23 post and you made it. Since there are only 10 articles in the carnival it would not be hard to get notice. I recommend that you stumbleupon the carnival post to bring some traffic and increase your chance of getting traffic from my post to yours.

Squidoo isn’t really a blogging platform… More of a social networking site.
Well, it’s a nice list nevertheless. Maybe next time you should write a list of blogging CMS (the ones you download and install on your own server).

Nice list! I wrote some reviews of the free blogging scripts available for self-hosting (cos I am searching for one that suits my needs). Check it out if you have time!

I spent an hour to find this information! It was not easy even to find correct English expression “Free Blogging Platforms” because I am not super in this language… I know enough about Russian free blogging platforms but English-speaking ones… It was very curious. And I found (Yahoo!) what I needed! Thanks a lot!

Great list of blogging platforms, in my opinion…wordpress is the best, but for implementing a social network with your blogging, Hubpages wins hands down. I also like blogger and tumblr, but just began with tumbler. I had never heard of many of these and am going to look at starting a couple accounts tonight. Thank you very much for this list, it is well needed. Maybe next time you can make a list of the best blogging platforms for ranking in Google and getting the most traffic? Great job and thanks again.
