How to Use Tumblr Blogs for Backlinks
- ARTICLES |
Bloggers and website owners know how important it is to have a lot of relevant backlinks to their site. Off page factors such as backlinks are a major factor in your site's search engine rankings, but getting new backlinks can be a tedious, time-consuming pain, right? So, let's look at a simple way to somewhat automate the creation of new backlinks using Tumblr blogs and ping.fm.
Tumblr blogs are sort of a hybrid between a regular blog and a microblogging platform like Twitter. Just like a typical blog you create blog posts, but they add in the social media element where you follow other blogs, and you can also reblog other blogs.
So, with Tumblr you can build backlinks, and you can also leverage the efforts of others who will distribute your backlinks for you.
Now if we want to automate this whole operation, the first thing you'll have to do is set up a profile on ping.fm, and then select the social media platforms that you use and would like to update automatically for you.
Once your ping.fm profile is complete and you have subscribed to the services that you will be updating with your content, go to the dashboard and type your message in the box. If you include a link, it will be shortened automatically for you. You have the option of just copying and pasting the title and first few sentences of your blog post, or you can take a minute and come up with a bit of original content that describes the blog post.
With one click of the 'Ping it,' button, you've just updated several social media sites including your tumblr blog at once and created a fresh batch of relevant backlinks.
Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your Tumblr blogs:
Community is a big part of getting lots of followers and reblogs with Tumblr. Get in there and network with other bloggers. Leave relevant comments and reblog generously. Soon others will start reciprocating and reblogging your content as well.
Adding Tumblr blogs into your backlink building strategy can be a fun, engaging way to boost your search engine rankings, get some good exposure in your niche and attract relevant traffic to your blog.
Blogging is just one way to boost your site's SEO. For more tips and strategies for growing your online business visit http://mcreasite.com/blog today.
