Is Tumblr difficult to Optimize? Is Tumblr bad for SEO?
-
To All,
I love Tumblr as a social media marketing tool and blogging platform, especially for niches/brands with strong visual content possibilities. But I've never had much luck in getting good rankings or even getting some pages/posts to index.
I've come across many blog posts like this one: http://danzambonini.com/tumblr-seo-and-why-i-moved-to-wordpress/
But is Tumblr really bad for SEO? I mean some folks who know a lot more than me(like Wil Reynolds and Jon Cooper) run Tumblr blogs, so it can't be that bad, right?
Any tips or guides on how best to optimize Tumblr blogs would be great.
Thanks,
Jon

James,
I agree that Posterous and Wordpress seem to index more quickly all things being equal.
I haven't had the severe problems the blog poster I referenced earlier has, but if I need to get 10,000 reblogs for a Tumblr post to index at all, then I will go with another tool and then just syndicate to Tumblr and the rest.
Thanks,
Jon
