What Are the Limitations of a Blogger.com Account

Most of the people always prefer to choose blogger.com to give a healthy start to their blogging career. The fact is quite clear that first it is free-to-use (no need to spend a single penny over purchasing domain or hosting) and second it is easy to use. The only price that you may pay for choosing this FREE platform is that, it has lots of limitations. Unfortunately, Blogger.com has lots of limitations which we will be discussing in today’s article (What are the limitations of Blogger Account).

Number of Blogs:

You can create 100 different blogs per account. However, in case the limit gets exceeded then Google authorities have the right to not only disable your account but also restrict your access to your blogs. Therefore, always keep in mind that your blog lists does not exceed the 100 mark. 

Number of Posts:

Fortunately, there are no such limits for the number of posts. You can create unlimited posts with unlimited content. All the posts would be saved into your account, and they will be there until or unless you deleted them manually. In case you unwantedly delete the posts, then they can be recovered through Google History Cache.

Size of Pages: 

Separate pages (the main page of your site, the archive pages and the post pages) are limited to 1 MB in size. This will allow you to add hindered pages of text. However, if you list 100 posts on either home or achieve pages then it might exceed the size limit, and it would display an error message such as, "006 please contact Blogger Support”. You can get rid of this error by decreasing the number of posts on your main page.

Account Suspension:

Blogger has some strict rules and regulations. They suspend a site or even your whole account if it is suspected that you are violating their any terms of service. Once, the site gets suspended then there is hardly any chance of recovering it back. Blogger.com does not send notifications before banning an account, it means there is no warning for the website owner. Once the blog gets suspended the domain would be on hold, and no one can use the same domain again.

Number of Comments:

There are no such limits in the number of comments. A Post can have unlimited comments. It depends on you whether you show the comments or hide them from your posts, but the pre-existing comments would be remained saved in your account. You can enable the comments anytime you like.

Size of Pictures:

There is no size limit of a single picture. However, if you are uploading a picture through your mobile or smartphones then it should not bigger than 250K per picture. Remember: 1 Blog has 1 Gigabyte of FREE image hosting. 

Length or Size of Posts:

There are no such limitations for the length of the individual posts. However, if your posts are too long then they might exceed the page Size Limits (See the next point to elaborate the size limitations).

Number of Stand-Alone Pages:

You can only create 20 Stand-Alone pages per blog (example of a stand-alone page: http://www.mybloggerlab.com/p/advertise-here.html). 

Storage Limit of Pictures:

The storage limit for pictures is 1 GB (Gigabytes), which are linked to your Picasa account. Even if you delete them from your pages it would be still available on your Picasa Account.

Number of Labels:

You can create 5000 unique labels per blog and can use 20 unique labels per post. 

Team Members:

You can add up to 100 members per blog. 

Conclusion:

We would recommend you to continue using this FREE platform, but make sure you get rid of BlogSpot domain and transform it to .com because it has much more flexible options. Incase Google delete your site due to some policy violation then you can move your site to WordPress. However, if you do not have a .com Domain then you would be left empty handed. Now the decision is yours either take it or leave it.

    1. No, you can even publish 1000+ posts per day. However, after publishing 50 Posts in a day you have to enter Captcha so that Google can guess whether you are posting through a Bot or Real Human.

      If you want to remove the "Captcha" then you can contact the Blogger Support they will check your Blogs stats and reputations and they will grant you to post with even entering Captcha.

      Hope that Helps.

  20. Are you aware of any way to exceed the label limit on individual posts or of a blog-site which offers unlimited label options. The blog I want to make requires use of a lot of interconnected labels and the limitations blogger has in this regard do not offer me the flexibility I need. Be curious if you know of any ways around this.
