If I'm starting with a free blog at Blogspot.com instead of a full webpage do I still need to acquire the domain name??
Thanks

You don't "need" to acquire a domain name but if you are using your blogger page as your primary web space and not just a blog, it's a good idea to get one.
Even though you can't do web page miracles with blogger, having a domain name and forwarding your blogspot address to it makes it more professional. Plus, it's only about $10 a year for the domain and you'll secure that domain and have it in case you want to upgrade to another interface in the future.
Good luck.

If you decide to get a domain, all you have to do is change the forwarding on your domain to your blog url - I think it looks a lot more professional when you use a domain compared to a generic blog url.

It will make your blog more professional even if you are not hosting your blog. Before you buy the domain name, do some keyword research for your domain name. You can get good ranking if you have good domain name.

Having keyword in your domain name would help your SEO ranking but the more important thing is your on page and off page (i.e. back links) optimization.
I don't have all the keywords in my domain name but I am still able to rank well for some of those keywords because of the back links that I have built.
