My concern for the re-blog feature to be removed or changed is due to the over re-blogging of post by some. In years past, post were content filled posting and from personal experiences. I believe in order to get back to strong content which is great for Google is to remove or change this feature on Active Rain. I can fully understand when a blogger gets writers block. In Real Estate blogging there are so many issues we can write about which can help your business grow. Active Rain has produce a great platform for increasing your business production even in this market.
When Bob Stewart put in place Re-blogging , here on Active Rain he spell out many great ideas and feature of re-blogging. The main complaint I have of this feature is that some blogger's here are using the re-blog as a point scheme. Not adding to the conversation anything just re-blogging the post. Sometimes the post is worth the re-blog. On the other hand you wonder what they are up too.
Before you re-blog a post ask yourself "How will this Help your business" and "How will be seen by your followers". The best advantage to a re-blog post is for your follower to gain knowledge through the re-blog. A disadvantage that I have concerns about is what if the re-blog information is not accurate.
The change I am referring to is to remove points for re-blogging.
I have two questions here about re-blogging:
- How does re-blogging help with SEO?
- Should the Re-Blogging feature be removed or changed?
