Do links from a Tumblr blog count as inbound links?

[Spreader7376]

That's it. I'm thinking of making a Tumblre blog (s) for inbound links. Is it worthwhile?

[Theo-NL]

I think they do, as I can't find any 'nofollow' on their links. However, unless if you have a really popular (and well linked to Tumblr blog), I don't think the value will be large.

[Spreader7376]

Yeah. I'm thinking the same... But what about if you had 100 Tumblr blogs???

That sounds to me like you are wanting to start your own little link-farm - I would advise you steer well clear of this!

Regards,

who moi? LOL

No - i don't think I'd do that - was more over looking at the principal of it (as opposed to the rights/wrongs). At a seminar I went to recently one of the speakers had over 50 Tumblr sites and was touting this as a legitimate tactic...

[Theo-NL]

I think you should start visiting other speakers on your seminars The amount of root domains linking to you is far more important that the numbers of links from a domain. Having 50 Tumblr blogs would never count as good as 50 different sites linking to you.

Really? Well, that is very wrong If Google gets wind of anything like that, you will get a real kick in the pants! Get your fingers busy and start writing some great content for others to link to Regards, Andy

LOL. It was actually a very reputable conference/speaker... I don't think they were advocating link farming, but moreover the principal of it.

I agree though - I'm actually very white hat (have to be!) so it's not something I'd consider. 100% agree with root domains being more important. Thanks for your help.

THanks for your help Andy. We are doing just that - guest blogging is a greaty way in - be it with content, infographics or whatever. Works really well for us at the moment.
