Tumblr links

[julie-getonthemap]

I have several Tumblr blogs. Created when Tumblr links were worth more, and now primarily for my amusement.

But, I'd like to get whatever link juice I can out of them.

I thought only the footer links were do follow, but when I check Moz it's showing all links as do follow. Any idea which is true?

Hi Julie

If they are your blogs which relate to your business and you have set them with do follow links back to your business website then they will be useful. It's when people use Tumblr to set up PBNs (Private Business Networks) where it becomes grey hat and ill-advised.

If the subject of the blogs, (URL & Title) have no relevance to your business then you may do more harm than good.

Also be careful with exact match anchor text - spread it out over different relevant keywords/phrases.

You determine whether a link is do follow or no follow.

Are you sure? About five years ago I thought Tumblr went to no-follow links in the posts, with only bio links as do follow.  Did they change back?

Hi Julie

Yes, add a post and a link. Right click ‘view source’ and find the link. If it doesn’t‘ have rel=nofollow in the ‘a href’ it is do follow.
