Tumblr is a free blogging platform that takes about 5 seconds to setup. You enter your email, a password, and your subdomain, and your blog is instantly created. You can then build links to your new Tumblr blog and write content with anchor dofollow links back to your site.
I have a live Tumblr blog example for my Super Nintendo Console case study. You can see my Tumblr blog at super-nintendo-console.tumblr.com.
A good strategy to use with these free blog engines is to create a subdomain with the keyword you are getting, and then after you have added a good amount of content and a few links, use a few greyhat link building strategies to quickly index your new page which will help you get your actual site indexed quickly as well and without the risk of penalization.
If you really want to get into advanced link building with Tumblr, you could even search around for existing Tumblr blogs in your niche that blog frequently and have a strong pagerank. You could easily email them asking to buy links (although I do NOT recommend you ever buy/sell links unless you are experienced in it), and generally the majority of the people will be glad to accept your money since they are not webmasters for a living and they are blogging on a free platform.
Like always, I like providing the straight-to-the-point groundwork for how to build links, and leave the rest of the creativity up to you.
Thanks for sharing, I never heard of Tumblr before but Im sure its a great way to build links
I just used it and its very easy to get the back links …
Good stuff collin
This link building strategy supposed to get higher pagerank in google rite? I’am still don’t understand, my friend site just 3 month old and just 30 post have 1 page rank and I rank higher than her in Alexa and have 2 years old blog with 300 post still no page rank in Google…
The pagerank depends on the page ranks of the site from where you get the link. If you get all the links from PR0 pages then you wont get any PR. It also depends on the outgoing links from the page too. If you have link from a PR1-2 page but if it has hundreds of outgoing links then its of no use.
Thanks again for yet another great suggestion!
Loving it…keep um coming
Tumblr is great for creating quality backlinks to a website.
Just the way I like it, simple and easy
2nd or 3rd time I’ve heard of it so I need to get there, thanks Collin.
Haven’t heard too much from ya lately, Collin! Glad to see a new post!
It seems like a nice blogging platform but can you get your own template?
Thanks for sharing, looks Lovly , 10 seconds to sign up
I think your Super Nintendo Console look nice. What is the Ebay script that you use in your web?

Some great info Collin!
Names like Tumblr and Flickr are becoming the standard for new websites with short names that have active representations. The “r” at the end gives the site more life than it would have if the name was just “Tumble”. Maybe after names ending with “r” are exhausted, another type of name will start to become popular.
its a great way to build links, and I have tumblr account too
Thanks collin to suggest Tumbir blog. It very easy to use compared to other blog and easy to build a link back to my site too.
I’ve heard of this before but never understood how it works. Now I do and I’m going start one. I’ve one question. Is this do-follow.

Thankyou for your tips on Stumblr. Is it best to create a new account for every site you are promoting?
