Re-blogging - What is re-blogging? How can it help me or help you? - Part 1 of 2

IF I reblog I only reblog the very best information.  I also like to reblog things that I don't know or that I think my sphere will find interesting.

I like the reblog option. I think ultimately it helps and the credit goes to the right person. However one of my biggest single blogs ever (reblogged 16x) - when I google it, it is a REBLOG that shows up on page one of Google. Again, credit is given to me on the blog, BUT it would be nice if my original blog was the "winner".

Thanks for explaining the purpose to this feature.    Appreciated, and am "mulling" it over.

I search for posts to re-blog.... and am happy to find good info to pass along to my clients, prospects and fellow Realtors!  Love the RE-BLOG!  Kathy

Great post.  I agree with re-blogging.  But, I see Steve's earlier point.  once someone  reblogs your "blog" they become the focus of that blog when found online.  in my opinion.  so a possible down side.  but there are many up sides to it. 

I find that re-blogging is a great way to share an idea with a group of people that might not have seen it the first time. It is also a great way to add to the conversation while doing so.

Thank you, ill look to reblog this ...

Hey Jeff--I am your basic "post-a-day" blogger, so I come out with some pretty bad stuff, from time to time. On the other hand, once in a while, I "hit" one and my emails light up like a pin-ball machine. What is more exciting, people start to re-blog my posts to their people.

It is like "Brownian" movement for bloggers.

Thanks for the post. Any time, any place, any one can "re-blog" me.

Thanks. As a newbie....it helps.

I re-blog occasionally. If another blogger has written something well, why re-invent the wheel? I DO, however, think it's important to preface the re-blog with WHY you are re-blogging and add some commentary of your own to personalize it to your market area.

And I agree that having your post re-blogged is a huge compliment!

Thanks for the information, I have re-blogged a couple of times because I though the content was great.

Boy, was I surprised when I started getting points when someone reblogged my stuff lately. What a neat surprise. I did not know you could not reblog a members only post.

First of all, Jeff, I'm glad you're not in my neck of the woods.  LOL!  You are an excellent resource.  I would definitely endorse you.  I can't re-blog your articles though because your signature throws off my blog format.

I re-blog when there is good information that I would like to share. It takes me awhile to write my own stuff and I can't write about everything.  I don't have time.  So it is wonderful to have the ability to get good information out to my readers.

I read a lot of articles and deliver only the best to my readers.  It's like having a news paper or magazine.  In fact, I was thinking of adding to my blog description that occasionally there will be articles that are chosen to hold a spot on my blog.  All of my posts go onto my Facebook and fan page automatically so even if people don't see them on Active Rain, they do read them from my feeds.  I write my own content as well.  But I like having the variety.

Most of the time I will write an introduction above the re-blog because a few times that I just re-blogged without explaining that it was a re-blog, I had people come on and think that I wrote it and they commented to me.  I want the person who wrote the article to get the comments.   Now on the other hand, I have had people thank me for re-blogging something because they may have missed it when it first came out.

reblogging is a great way to share information further!  Thanks for the post!

Jeff, I found this blog on a re-blog. I would not have read this post had it not been re-blogged .  I didn't know that others reblogging your information would get them higher on Google than the original blog.  So, from now on, my local and neighborhood information will not have the reblog feature. 

I love to re-blog posts that have information in which the writer is an expert.  This is not information that I could write about, but my local readers will benefit from.

Re-blogging is crucial to members blogs.  It adds great informative content to your site, boost your page rankings, and shoots a bit of Google Juice to the original blog.  Its a Win Win all around!

I am going to admit hesitately but re-blogging make me look more informed and I am surprised at the clients that think it was mine although I clearly state it isn't.

Thanks...You've answered a few of my ??'s on this topic.

All the best!

Wow didnt know about this AR feature and I think overall it does help.
