Does Hitting the Re-Blog Button Produce Google juice?

Based on the above comments, it appears that it could go either way.  maybe yes.....maybe no.... who really knows. Let's call Google.

What I learned, by trial and error, is that I had a typo in the title.  When I changed that in the original, it didn't get changed in the re-blog and that bumped it out! :-(  And now you have . . . the rest of the story.  HA HA HA  (My apologies to Paul Harvey!)

The post has to be written in the Google Juice format.  Any blog that you want to get crawled does.  That is the KEY!!

Dana - Hmmm I have not seen it on any re-blogs that I have done but I have seen it on the original blogs... I tend to agree with Lisa and Maureen about it but Steven says it does give out the google juice... Hmmmm confusing as always... My two cents have said no to this question but hey, who am I to question an authority... 

I re-blog occassionally when I think the information is so great that it needs to be passed on.  I never gave it a thought about if I received Google juice.  I think it is great if I do and also help the original poster.

Interesting questions, I reblog when someone writes something that I think is worth sharing, not so much for the SEO but more for the good info.

I reblog ten posts a week maximum because that is the points rewards structure in place. I figure they do everything else that's good for you with reward points, so this would not have the points if there were not a benefit. I pick the ten posts each week that say soemthing  better than I could have OR that cover a subject that the blogger knows better than I know.

Re-blogging is an interesting topic.  I wrote a blog post in the last few weeks about EDITING the post after reblogging to disable comments, thereby forcing the reader to go to the original author's post to comment. AND, I stated that I consider it a compliment to have my post re-blogged.

Since then, I have noticed many bloggers who have NO ORIGINAL CONTENT and their blog is all re-blogs. That probably wouldn't annoy me as much as it does if they would preface the re-blog by saying, "This Tulsa Realtor has written an excellent post about xxx.  I hope you find her information as useful as I did."

So, if you're going to re-blog, go the extra step to give the original author credit and explain to your clients why you feel this information is useful; then edit and disable comments.

Lisa's response #16 was very helpful.

Thanks for bringing the topic up - have wondered about it myself!

Thanks for presenting this question. I've always wondered how Google treated reblogs. Now I know.

Good question in your post, and very interesting comments throughout.    Appreciated this...am going to hit the "allow reblog" button.

I beleive it does produce "google juice"... I re-blog when I see something interesting and worthwhile sharing again...

Dana, thanks for the great post...

I'm so glad you asked this....I have wondered this as well. I once did a Google search for one of Lenn's reblogs. I Googled the exact title and she came up higher in the rankings than the original...so I suspect it has something to do with the way Google looks at the reblogger.....since Lenn has mad google juice in general, her reblog came up higher? Not sure....love to know.
