WordPress.com is another free blogging platform that should not be confused with WordPress.org, which is a self hosted blogging application.

WordPress.com will allow you to set up a blog as a sub domain on their own domain. Just like Blogger.com, this is a great way to build links to your own website so that your rankings in the search engines increase.

You do need to be careful with WordPress.com because they’re a lot stricter about having things like affiliate links throughout your blog and being overly promotional. Still, you shouldn’t have to worry as long as you offer quality content and link to your own site in a smart way to get all the benefits of WordPress.com without being shut down.
