Twitter's 'retweet' and Tumblr's 'Reblog'- which is better and why? Is there any other social network that offers this facility to 'repost' with ease?

[Chameli]

Twitter is social networking site. Tumblr is a social blogging site. You can use twitter to generate traffic and tumblr to generate backlinks. You can also monetize your tumblr blogs and make money

I use Twitter as my main way to get links and spread news about my new post. I don't just promote my stuff though when I see other good stuff I tweet about it as well. I have not tried Tumblr yet but maybe I should.

[Rational Mind]

I am not on tumblr, however, I have a couple of twitter profiles. Twitter is for sharing short messages. Tumblr is a blogging platform. Retweet means resharing the content that has been shared. Reblog is resharing the post that has been published.

Tumblr's 'Reblog' is better.

Why?

Because your Tumblr can be connected to your Twitter and each time you post to your Tumblr it can also be posted to your Twitter. OR you can post to Twitter at a later date..

Because a Tumblr can be connected to a Twitter (and also Facebook by the way), that means if a Tumblr blogger reblogs your post, it is possible that it can also be tweeted via their Twitter because they associated their Tumblr and Twitter. OR they can post to their Twitter at a later date.

Once your Tumblr post is tweeted to your Twitter, you can retweet it again at a later date.

The potential for circulating or distributing your posts is multiplied in this way.

I have not tried tumblr, however, they say you can generate backlinks to your main site through tumblr blogs and the backlinks from tumblr are counted as quality backlinks.

Tumblr allows you to use affiliate links. Be careful because certain affiliate links are not allowed. Links from Clickbank and Commission Junction, I know are not allowed from experience. I got my blogs deleted. Before they were deleted, I was having some success using InfoLinks on my Tumblr blogs. But that was on the blogs that got deleted. I created new Tumblr blogs and tried to apply for Infolinks but they have consistently or persistently refused to approve any of my blogs.

Another thing that Tumblr allows is for you to create a page using an affiliate link that leads directly to the vendor's sites. I have not had much success using this method. But it seems others have because they use it.

Check Tumblr's Help section for all the details. It's very thorough.

Hope this explains.

Tumblr is a free blogging platform that you can monetize with affiliate ads and network ads. However, you will have to check TOS before monetizing the tumblr blogs. You can also tweet affiliate links and earn money from twitter

If you already have a self hosted blog, you can use tumblr to generate backlinks to your primary blog. Tumblr backlinks are considered very powerful. You can use twitter to build traffic and social signals.

[Rational Mind]

I do not want to spend time on tumblr building the blog when I can use that time on my own blog which is more profitable.

[Chameli]

Since I am not using tumblr, even though I have an acocunt there, I do not know how beneficial is tumblr reblog. I use twitter and I have a lot of Twitter accounts. The retweets give you more social signals and traffic.

[Rational Mind]

You can use tumbler to build backlinks to your main website, you can also use tumbler to build traffic through inbound linking.

Maybe they've changed this but when I used to have a Wordpress blog, it could be linked to my Tumblr blog. Whenever I published a post on my Wordpress blog, it automatically posted to my Tumblr with tags. Unless they removed this feature, it's not really any extra work at all. You're basically publishing two blogs at the same time. I don't know if they still have that feature. I don't have a Wordpress blog any more.

Just saying. If your concern is extra work, there is none. But if you just don't want a Tumblr then that's your decision.

[Rational Mind]

Twitter is for traffic and tumblr for traffic as well as backlink. Traffic will generate revenue and backlink will build up ranks.

TUMBLR TIPS:
So! I'm still doing my thing on Tumblr. Trying to get more followers and also likes and reblogs. Without them your Tumblr won't survive. I don't want to buy followers, likes and reblogs. I've tried that route and ... it's OK. Eh! I would rather patiently build my following. I found a group on Facebook that might help me achieve this goal. It's a Closed group. I'm giving it a try. They have "q4q" and "r4r". If you queue a certain number of posts from someone's blog, they have to return the favor and queue the same of posts from your blog. If you reblog a certain post they want reblogged from their blog, they have to return the favor and reblog a specific post from your blog. Some of the members in the group have a following so that gives my blogs more exposure and hopefully I'll grow my following. I think this type of reciprocal activity might work! I have tried other Tumblr groups on Facebook and Google Plus and they were useless. This one might be worthwhile. I'll report back later on my progress. I just joined the group about a week ago.

Tumblr is web 2.0 site. Web 2.0 sites are a great platform to generate backlinks. You can use Tumblr to generate backlink to your primary site. If you do it properly, you might even pull some traffic from tumblr.

[Rational Mind]

You can use timbler to drive traffic and generate backlinks, however, this is not an easy work. There are a lot of people who are using tumblr for traffic and backlink and they are not interested on what other are sharing.
