Advantages of having your own domain name

I see that a lot of bloggers who link up at my linkup parties still have a shared domain name - like blogname.blogspot.com or blogname.wordpress.com. Getting your own domain name - like frugalfollies.com - has a lot of advantage, including:

• You're easier to find.  If people know your blog's name, they might just type in blogname.com into their address bar.  They won't find your blog - or worse, they'll find another similarly-named blog.
• It looks more professional.  Even if you have shared hosting, you appear to be a separately-run website (at least at first glance).
• You're creating a brand based on your domain name.
• Your domain is portable - if you decide to change to a different platform, or if you decide to host your blog yourself, your blog's address can go with you.
• You can get separate website statistics like Google PageRank, Mozrank, or Technorati or Alexa rankings.
