At first glance one might think this is a smaller version of a blog, and in some ways it is.

Microblogging, in its original concept, is a blog that allows bite sized snippet or phrases to be placed on it for quick informational purposes. Maybe one example of this would be the site know as Twitter. Here you can write 140 character snippets which have a link to a bigger blog.

In a corporate sense a microblog system could be an internal messaging system where quick little messages are sent to a list of employees when needed. This allows participants to get real time messages out without having the burden of going through the steps of posting to a blog.

Whether it is in a social networking environment or in a corporate situation, microblogging has found its place in both. As these platforms become more widely used you will see a much smoother interface for users to use, and companies will find more ways to incorporate their marketing skills in these microblooging platforms.

If you haven’t dipped you toe into twitter or the likes, give it a try and see how you like it.

The only requirement is that the link you send is dofollow. A website or blog that is not itself indexed will not do your own site any good. The Internet runs on links. The search engines travel from page to page and site to sit via the network of links that are in place. As the search engine spiders travel through a site that links to your own it discovers and indexes your blog.I found some more information here. Increasing the number of links to your site increases the probability is that the spiders will find your new content.

For me to say, “go get a link” is simple enough. Figuring out where to get them is something else entirely. There are a huge number of places available for a webmaster to place links. These include social bookmarking sites, multi-author sites and other people’s blogs. The world of the Internet is ever changing and choosing the right places for your links is important. The quality that is required for your links has increased dramatically over the last few years. Choosing the best and most relevant links that you can find will get your site indexed and keep it that way.
