Weebly, Blogger, Wordpress and tumblr?

[bronxpad]

What do people think about links from free hosted sites like weenly, Wordpress, blogger and tumblr? I see that they are do follow but how is there link juice? Are they beneficial to a link profile?

I personally use Tumblr quite heavily to promote my photography aransphotography.tumblr.com, not so much for link building but there is a huge amount of traffic flowing through that site and its great to divert some of that traffic to my flickr or my own website.

Also, if people chose to re-blog my stuff then I get some free links as a bonus, link juice or not!

In short my tumblr is part of my social outreach and inbound marketing strategy rather than my link development plans.

I do not use wordpress, blogger or Weebly personally, but I do have links on other peoples blogs from there that do me no harm!
