I took that advice (from Problogger I think) when I started my own blog a couple of years ago. But I disagree that using Blogger makes a blog look spammy. It all depends on the domain that is being blogged. You make the comment that you only have two blogspot blogs in your reader -- I'd wager those are in the blogging domain -- but I read quite a few very good blogs in the domain I blog in: massive online games. I expect that this is because the writers of these blogs are gamers and originally wanted a quick easy platform to get started. In a couple of cases recently, some of the better blogs in this niche have moved to their own domain and self hosting, but some of the biggest havent and have actually said they won't. I reckon if you go into other, more diverse niches, you'd find a lot of blogspot or wordpress blogs of excellent quality. I agree with you that a blogger should really use their own domain.

I think too many very good blogs these days look too professional. Very bland. No personality, no personal branding. Mine is guilty of quite the opposite, but in time I will hit a comfortable middle road! Ultimately a blog is going to stand out for the depth and integrity of its content and views expressed. The posts should be about some coherent relatively narrow theme. The ads or links should point to very similar areas of interest.

The fact that Matt Cutt's blog or that some other blogs that y'all have named aren't spam is irrelevant. The point is, that there are factors that contribute towards Google trusting you and factors that don't. I for one, will be adding all of the above pages to several of my blogs. Thanks for the tip!
