Today there are millions of bloggers and social networkers worldwide. While blogging allows you to share stories and experiences, social networking helps you connect with others with the same interest.

Have you ever wondered how the term “Blog” came into existence? Blogs were used by many around the world even before we heard the name Blog. Initially it was the web logs which were used to write and update websites. The name web log later became Blog.

Blogging has become very popular nowadays and widely used by many leading companies, organisations and individuals around the globe. The BBC has a blog for its news readers to post their comments and update.

Wordpress and Blogger.com make blogging very easy to understand and use. Blogs give you the options of creating a design and layout, uploading images, video and having a unique URL. This way it looks as if you are maintaining your own website. It allows you to share information with your friends and keep them updated on your latest move.

Blogs are very SEO friendly so it is worth having links back to your website. Search engines love new content. If you are a blogger already updating your blog frequently with interesting information. Search engine robots crawl these blogs more often than websites. Your blog can boost your main site’s rankings if set up properly.

Social networking sites are as much SEO friendly as blogs. Sites such as Facebook give many options to promote your website and allow you to create groups and find people of a particular area with the same interest.

Twitter on the other hand allows you to update it with the latest happenings. You can be followed by people if you have interesting tweets and stay up to date and interact with people with the same ideas.

cecille20,

Yes. However, search engines page results (SERP) may have an impact on social networking, because social networking is used by SEO's to earn links back to the source...
