- The profile that readers will see when they view your posts on your free website. If you use Google+ Profile you readers may follow it and share your articles on the web.

The small and unique blog name will not only help your blog readers to remember your blog name but it also good for creating your blog profile on social media networks like on Facebook, Google +, Twitter and etc. So, You blog name should be like Facebook.com, Google.com, Bloggingseo.net and much more.
