Tumblr: How to Get Free PR7 Links Within Minutes



293 Flares 293 Flares ×
tumblr link building Why don’t you listen to the (strange-looking) man…

Tell me you found an easy and quick link building technique, and you’ll have my full attention.

Tell me that technique will generate high PR links back to my blog for FREE, and I’ll get to work right there and then.

That’s pretty much what happened when I heard of this link building strategy using Tumblr.

But first things first.

What is Tumblr?

Tumblr is a free micro-blogging platform that allows you to post video or audio files and images in addition to text.

how to set up tumblr

If it’s too long to tweet, but too short to write a substantial blog post about, it’s perfect for Tumblr.com.

It’s similar to Posterous, but simpler to use. Some might say it’s even more powerful than Posterous.

So what?

Great, you say, yet another thing to add to my to-do list, Ana.

Allow me to explain what makes Tumblr such a good addition to your link building strategy.

Tumblr Is…

1.  PR8 website.

Which means that it has a lot of authority to pass to your blog and other web properties.

2.   Dofollow.

Update 11/12: from everything I see, it seems like Tumblr added a nofollow tag to most of the links, including the ones I talk about in this post.

Doesn’t mean you can’t use this strategy to acquire links; they are just not as good as they used to be.

All the links you post to Tumblr are Dofollow.

If you are not sure what Dofollow means, take a look at this post.

3.   Self-publishing platform.

You can pretty much publish whatever you want to Tumblr, as long as you don’t violate their Terms of Service, of course.

Let’s compare that to any article directory, say EzineArticles.com.

With EzineArticles, you submit an article, then wait and hope that it passes the moderator’s “inspection”. Additionally, they have strict backlinking rules that limit you as to where to add your links, how many, how many keywords in your anchor text you can use, etc.

No such problem with Tumblr.

So you can pretty much treat it as your personal article directory that gives you just as much, if not more, link juice as any traditional article directory – without the hassle.

4.   SEO-friendly.

I’ve seen many Tumblr blogs rank very highly on Google for some very competitive keywords.

How I Use Tumblr for Link Building

These are some very simple, effective, and quick techniques I can implement within minutes.

1.   Publish summaries of my blog posts.

Just a few sentences will do with a keyword-rich link or two back to my post.

2.   Use OnlyWire.com or Ping.fm

Both of these free services allow you to bookmark your posts to several social media/micro-blogging platforms at the same time.

Tumblr is one of them.

3.   Import your RSS feeds.

Tumblr used to have an import RSS function, which allowed you to connect your Tumblr blog with your WP blog, Twitter account, etc.

A couple of months ago they quietly did away with that feature.

However, where there’s a will, there’s a way, right?

There are some WP plugins you can use to connect Tumblr with your WordPress blog, but most of them are not very well suited for the job. For instance, Tumblrize will cross-publish your entire posts, which will create duplicate content issues and render your backlinks worthless.

The best solution I found is TumblRSSApp.com.

It allows you to add several RSS feeds and is entirely free.

Notice the last drop-down box in the image above that says “select post type“.

You’ll have 2 choices here: text or link. I suggest you choose “link” for your blog RSS feed and “text” for your Twitter link. I had to experiment to learn this essential piece of information.

How to Get High PR Dofollow Backlinks from Tumblr

Of course, I saved the best for last.

In this video, I’ll show you how to get dofollow links from high PR pages on Tumblr within minutes and with minimal effort.

Brief video summary:

  1. Create an account at Tumblr.com
  2. In URL field enter your main keywords with dashes between them.
  3. Confirm your email address.
  4. Click on “Untitled” ==> “Customize Appearance”. Choose a free theme.
  5. Go under “Settings”.
  6. Check “Use custom domain box”. Add your domain name without http  or “/”.
  7. Enable SEOQuake. Do a Google search with this command site:tumblr.com “liked this”
  8. Find high PR pages. Click on them one by one.
  9. Once on a page, click on “Reblog” in the upper right corner.
  10. Refresh the page to make sure your keywords show up as the last name in “Notes”.

Originally, I learned this tactic from SEO Experts Academy – the best course on how to generate a flood of SEO traffic I’ve ever seen.

This Tumblr link building strategy is only one of many they teach you in the course. If you are finally ready to get a grip on your search engine traffic, SEO Experts Academy is definitely the way to go:

I discovered this very method 6 or 7 months before nofollow was implemented and before every man and their dog heard about it. Was unbelievable while it lasted, but anything good in seo never lasts. Tumblr is still awesome for linking if you know the right way to implement.

cole November 2, 2012 at 4:53 pm

Although this is a bit out of date, it’s an interesting concept. Linkbuilding with Tumblr could still potentially be useful even if some things have changed.

Ruan October 26, 2012 at 2:11 pm

Ana, I actually just did this on the first page I could find with a high PR, which was PR 6. What I don’t understand is that all the links, even the ones reblogged look like nofollow.

Do you think this has been changed that they are nofollow links now?

Look at this page for instance:

http://un-library.tumblr.com/post/13827351249/security-council-the-situation-concerning-iraq

Mine is there as “freelance-writing-tactics” but it’s striked through even though I reblogged. :(

Ana Hoffman October 28, 2012 at 6:04 pm

It’s possible that they switched to nofollow, Ruan.

Ruan October 28, 2012 at 10:31 pm

Yeah, sadly it does seem to be the case, Ana. I still think it was a cool and clever little trick though!

Ruan October 26, 2012 at 1:57 pm

Hey Ana!

This is so cool! I have just set up my Tumblr blog, set up my custom URL redirecting to my domain. I was just wondering, how many links can you get this way?

I mean you get a dofollow link for every blog you reblog, right? Does this mean it’s unlimited?

Ana Hoffman October 28, 2012 at 6:02 pm

I haven’t done this for a while, Ruan, and never tried to do too many at a time; mostly because it takes time, which I don’t have. As with any link building strategy, it’s always a good plan to go slowly.

Jane October 18, 2012 at 4:26 pm

I couldn’t find a date on this post… Is this still a valid strategy?

Thank you,
Jane

Ana Hoffman October 19, 2012 at 12:46 pm

Tumblr has been making a lot of changes lately, Jane; not sure if this still works.

Matt September 25, 2012 at 4:14 am

Hey! Just thought I’d let you know how I’m getting on with Tumblr.
Having played around with it, there’s 2 things to note. I have managed to get quite a few backlinks now through judicious use of tags and images. Images that have links embedded are DO follow, and if you pick your tags well, you can get links back from High PR “pages”. e.g http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/ferrari
I have also picked an “infinite” page theme. When you scroll down in your browser, it auto loads more content at the bottom. Not 100% sure how google crawls this, but feel it may be more advantageous than having pagination.

Ali September 15, 2012 at 12:33 pm

Regardless if this tip still working or not. I mean regardless if it is still do follow or no follow, I’d like to thank you Ana for your uncommon tips and exceptional advice. Your blog post, the seo report, and the newsletter are very very unique and useful.

Thanks again :)

Ana Hoffman September 17, 2012 at 9:57 am

Thank you, Ali.

Udo June 22, 2012 at 1:32 am

This doesn’t work no more, does it? Tumblr checks CNAME or A-Record points to tumblr and reblog links are nofollow now.

Ana Hoffman June 26, 2012 at 10:43 am

I haven’t tested it for a while, Udo; it makes sense that Tumblr would’ve eventually stopped letting users redirect Tumblr blogs to other sites.

Matt August 13, 2012 at 5:34 am

It appears Udo is right, although there is still value in no-follow links.
I will be purchasing a new domain on 22nd of this month, (when it comes free), so I wonder what would happen if I pointed the CNAME to Tumblr initially, waited for it to clear, saved the settings, and then changed it back to my original blog? Guess I’ll find out.
Also, I wonder if there’s a simple way to increase a Tumblr blog’s PR ranking? Perhaps it too has something to do with re-blogging/liking etc.?

Ana Hoffman August 13, 2012 at 9:44 am

Things do change.

As far as ranking a Tumblr blog goes, it’s pretty much the same as any other web property, Matt – on-page optimization + links.

Matt August 14, 2012 at 12:59 am

I kinda meant in terms of getting enough comments/reblogs etc. for your own tumblr then pointing the PR at your own site.
Take this page for example. SEO Quake (thanks for that tip by the way) indicates you have very few backlinks to this particular page, but it’s PR2. Now look at the comments: Non of them have links directly inside them, (potentially indicating they’re not spam), and people continue to comment on your article regularly nearly a year later, indicating it must have some ongoing value, which indeed it does for people like me! It’s not much of a stretch to think part of Google’s algorithm might be geared towards this.
My main problem is that I do web/SEO for an insurance company, and there are 2 issues. All my onsite work has to be compliant. This means I have to wait for that department to clear everything I write before I publish, which also includes reply comments on our company blog. It’s all so unresponsive it’s barely worth doing. Also, for the same reasons, I can’t post anything funny or slightly offbeat which could act as linkbait, and generate “fans”.
This is where things like tumblr come in for me. I can post a lot of pretty pictures of fancy cars which should attract a few car fans who might become fans of my tumblr blog, meanwhile I slip in 1 in 5 insurance related items linking back to the main site.

Ana Hoffman August 14, 2012 at 8:28 pm

I see your point, Matt.

Why not try something a bit more interactive, like YouTube or even Pinterest?

YouTube is the reason I am getting so much traffic to this particular post; it’s the video that’s embedded in the post that’s generating the clicks.

Also, Pinterest is huge, as you know, and I can think of a dozen ways you could turn it into a fun, yet educational platform for your company.

And the best part is your potential audience is already there; you just need to figure out how to get their attention.

With Tumblr, I am afraid you’ll just get lost in the sea of other blogs.

Most people just auto-post to Tumblr these days just to get some worthless links.

What do you think?

Matt August 15, 2012 at 2:04 am

You read my mind, I just started a pinterest page too! Their text links are nofollow, although you can add a clickthru link to the picture itself, which appears to be do-follow, and I’m busy pinning some of my pics from my visits to Le Mans over the past couple of years, (I’ve got a couple of hundred). They’re entirely unique so I’m hoping they’ll grab a bit of attention. I think the image link thing is the same on tumblr too, and I’m also cross linking them.
I thought I’d give tumblr a try, as a lot of my friends now seem to use it for their own personal blogs which persuaded me it might still be worth a go, and I can waffle a bit below each pic too. I guess it all depends on whether I make an impact. I’m sure autoblogs do very little for anyone, but again, surely google can sort these based on nobody commenting or following them, which is a sort of anti social signal?
Concerning videos, yes, the very reason I came to this page initially was precisely because of the video.
The main problem though is imagination. Many, many people do insurance videos and nobody watches them because they’re hopelessly uninteresting, regardless of how informative they are. Nobody really wants to watch a video called “What is Public Liability Insurance”. I am still scratching my head trying to come up with a different angle for that one.

Ana Hoffman August 15, 2012 at 7:08 am

Pinterest tip: don’t post too many pics at a time, Matt.

As you get more followers (by following others), your pictures will appear in their stream as you publish them.

Dofollow/nofollow links: don’t worry about it. You are doing it to build a brand, not really for link building.

Videos: try sock puppets or doodle videos. They do great and are not boring. You can also easily outsource them on Fiverr for $5. Doesn’t get any easier than that.

Matt August 15, 2012 at 8:15 am

OK, thanks for all the helpful advice, I will do that and check out fiverr.com

Matt August 28, 2012 at 8:37 am

Not sure why, but my tumblr blog has just become “do follow” instead of “no follow”? Thought u might like to know.

Matt August 28, 2012 at 8:39 am

…and yes, I used your affiliate link to buy commentluv, thanks for heads up on that one…

Ana Hoffman August 29, 2012 at 8:24 am

Not sure, Matt; I haven’t been on Tumblr for a while.

Thanks for the purchase!

Nat Rous April 26, 2012 at 10:46 am

This is just stellar! I had no idea I could change the domain on tumblr to my own site. Just awesome.

Thanks so much!

Ana Hoffman April 26, 2012 at 12:30 pm

You are very welcome, Nat.

John Park - Trust God April 23, 2012 at 9:29 am

First I would like to thank you for this tip. I’ve used Tumblr in the past , but never new of this technique. This is going to help me out a lot for getting links to my posts. God Bless you.

Ana Hoffman April 25, 2012 at 12:19 pm

Glad I could help, John, and blessings to you as well.

Shrilash March 26, 2012 at 9:03 pm

This is simply awesome. I remember reading this trick some time back but never used it. I will not miss this time. But I still doubt if it will have the same effect as we comment on normal pr7 blog page. I can also see other disadvantage with tumblr; you link keep going down. Lets say if 10 person does the same stuff on same page, my link may go off from that page.

Ana Hoffman March 28, 2012 at 9:49 am

I’ve never found a PR7 blog page to comment on, Shrilash.

Plus the links don’t get pushed off the page. Even though you can’t see them, they are still coded to show up on the same page when Google crawls it.

Frederick Olson March 17, 2012 at 10:41 pm

hello… just a couple quick questions… in some tutorials it says to also “like” the post… so you have a dofollow and a nofollow link… and for the next question… how many of these high pr posts do we need to reblog?… thank you

Ana Hoffman March 18, 2012 at 6:59 am

You are thinking too much about it, Frederick…

Only one link per page will be counted by Google, so both liking it and reblogging it doesn’t make much sense.

Frederick Olson March 18, 2012 at 7:26 am

thank you… as for the number of high PR pages… how many pages do we reblog?

Ana Hoffman March 18, 2012 at 5:01 pm

As I said, Frederick, don’t be focused on these details; there’s no such thing as a certain number of pages will suffice.

Scott Webb March 15, 2012 at 8:26 pm

Hey Anna,

I have been thinking a lot about Tumblr as I love using it. I didn’t expect to find this kind of idea here for link building. I Saw it and expected some thoughts I’ve been having.

Those thoughts are regarding your own posts on Tumblr being reblogged instead of you reblogging. I looked around recently and saw that if someone reblogs your post and leaves the content/links, these are still dofollow links on their site now.

If your post is reblogged 200 times, that is potentially 200 links. Have you written or discussed this at all? I saw there are over 200 comments here and I need to go over them in full to see if this stuff is talked about already.

This strategy is super interest (the one you mention here). Rebologging these high PR posts and having it then link back to your tumblr is amazing. While this doesn’t build the rank to one of my authority sites, it would build rank with the tumblr blog that then links to authority.

Very Very Interesting.

Ana Hoffman March 17, 2012 at 11:28 am

Never thought about it, Scott, but you are so right; sounds like a great strategy!

Now if you can get other people to reblog you… lol

Scott Webb March 17, 2012 at 12:25 pm

Hey! I think you’re site is one of my favorites now. I agree, being reblogged isn’t exactly something you can count on. But if something you post does go viral, I wonder what would happen. It goes to say that all those reblogs may not be indexed due to duplicate content but if a power hitter picks it up you never know. It becomes a numbers game and making sure to create content

I saw a post somewhere that talked about a tumblr blog that was geeky pickup lines of Ryan Gossling – might have been seomoz. The site gained pagerank super fast probably because of all the reblogging. Once it’s got a sweet pagerank, adding some sidebar type links would be pretty nice.

Ana Hoffman March 17, 2012 at 5:48 pm

Point taken.

Ulvi March 12, 2012 at 8:16 am

I wanted to have a look at SEO Masters Academy to read further info on Tumblr link building. But it looks they stopped the service for new clients. I think your article with video is the best source for Tumblr link building tricks. Thanks for the great tips!

Ana Hoffman March 13, 2012 at 12:03 pm

Glad I could help.

Anthony February 21, 2012 at 6:52 pm

I origianlly watched this Matt carter Vid when delivered to my email and thought it was a great trick. I tried it and it worked great BUT with one big downside. Once you find a great tumblr page with good PR rank you might be published but once your comment gets pushed back from the 1st page to the second it no longer will hold any page rank…. I found this out the hard way…

Ana Hoffman February 22, 2012 at 10:30 am

Actually, that’s not correct, Anthony.

Even though you can’t see all the reblogs, they are still located on the same page – there are no page breaks on Tumblr.

Anthony February 22, 2012 at 12:39 pm

ANA, Are you 100% sure of this…?

This is the reply i received directly from MATT himself when I first questioned this technique:
_________________________________________________
Yes it does, so you are best to find a Tumblr page that
is not as popular, so less people link on it.

All the best

Matt

I noticed on the google group trick it is important to be on page one vs page 10.
After viewing your tumblr pr 7 trick i noticed that once “liked” on that page it gets moved to the “next” column and is no longer on the first page of the tumblr page after several others are liking and moving you down the list.

Does that still apply to tumblr to be on page one vs being moved down the list???

Thanks,
Anthony

Before I responded to your comment, I took a look at one of the “busy” Tumblr pages.

It doesn’t show all the likes and reblogs, you are right, and you need to click on “Show more” to see more.

However, when you click on “Show more”, keep your eyes on the address bar. It doesn’t change in any way.

Also, take a look at the HTML source of the page. All the comments are still on the same page – no immediately visible to the reader, but definitely to SE spiders.

Maybe Matt needs to do the same.

Ana Hoffman February 19, 2012 at 7:11 pm

So far I haven’t found a way to do the same with WP.com – I don’t see a way to add a custom domain name that would redirect to your actual site.

Of course, you CAN build links that way to your wp.com blog and then link to your main site from there…

Aniket February 8, 2012 at 9:36 pm

Wow. I had been using Digg, reddit & Tumblr.
I posted a few small articles, but this is amazing. This is really great.

Thanks Ana. A traffic source with a backlink is always gr8. :)

Ana Hoffman February 9, 2012 at 8:39 am

It really is, Aniket.

Sagar January 30, 2012 at 9:00 am

This is cool, building links from Tumblr… never thought about it, thanks for sharing ;)

Ana Hoffman January 30, 2012 at 9:41 am

You are welcome, Sagar.

Paul January 28, 2012 at 8:06 am

Hey Anna, another great post and idea. I had setup tumbler and began using it before your post came out. Wondering if can change my setup if it is already an established account. Will be checking that out. Thanks for all you share.

Ana Hoffman January 28, 2012 at 2:05 pm

You should be able to change it without a problem, Paul.

Andrea Hypno January 27, 2012 at 1:17 am

Very interesting post, and thanks for having added the summary of the video for those like me, and you, who are not native English speakers. :)

Now, before heading to tumblr I was reading your last blog post and at a certain point pippity entered in and I’m not able to close it and come back to the post. It might be it’s my pc which has a little screen but it might also be pippity isn’t working as it should so I thought you should be informed.

Have a great day!

Ana Hoffman January 27, 2012 at 6:52 am

Thanks for letting me know, Andrea – I’ll check into it.

Hamza January 26, 2012 at 2:46 pm

Very useful Information Ana.Thanks for sharing this method .Now going to try it

Ana Hoffman January 26, 2012 at 3:16 pm

You are welcome, Hamza.

Cynthia Pauley January 25, 2012 at 7:31 pm

Ana,
After reading this post again, I am wondering whether or not you are indicating that we should post a summary of each blog article on Tumblr in addition to the main article itself which would be posted via Onlywire or if you just need to do one or the other. I have been using Onlywire for about two years so most of my blog posts have gone to Tumblr via that route. I need to go in and optimize these as you have outlined now that Christmas and the Seattle area snow storm have passed. That snow storm was an economic killer–we had to cancel 4 days of patients. I love snow, but up in the mountains for skiing.

Ana Hoffman January 26, 2012 at 9:09 am

If your OnlyWire account publishes to Tumblr, Cynthia, then you don’t need to publish it there manually.

I am with you: love snow, but on my terms!

Jeff Casmer January 24, 2012 at 12:08 pm

I knew Tumbler was a good source to get a high PR backlink but was not aware of those extra couple of tips.

Ana Hoffman January 24, 2012 at 7:18 pm

And now you know…

Zellin Miaca January 20, 2012 at 3:23 pm

Im starting out to create my user name in Tumblr and I am so excited to use this link so I could make my backlinks and blogging easier and more feasible. A better way to start up the year using this unbeatable high PR site and Ill be using this marketing tool in the niche of social networking . I’ll be able to make my online job more useful, feasible and knowledgeable to other users through Tumblr. Thank you so much for that video on how I can use Tumblr, its the easiest procedure and very detailed that’s why any user can get used to it , a user-friendly indeed and a nice strategy for every freelancer!
Keep posting links and I’m looking forward to catch up more updates with this site Miss Anna!

Ana Hoffman January 21, 2012 at 8:18 am

You are very welcome, Zellin.

zac January 20, 2012 at 6:36 am

I tried out the method, and i got “invalid tumblr log” on my blog. I wrote to tumblr support and this is what they says”Hello Zac,We’ve suspended your blog for spam or affiliate marketing. Per the policies you agreed to when creating your account, Tumblr prohibits such activity.

Best,
Kristin

Any body got similar situations as well? Seriously, does this trick really works? seems like it got my tumblr banned!

Ana Hoffman January 20, 2012 at 7:31 am

I don’t think it had anything to do with reblogging the content, Zac – it’s within Tumblr guidelines.

zac January 20, 2012 at 8:40 am

precisely, which is why i thought it is strange that they blacklist my tumblr. I did every step in your guide and nothing else. Do you think it is possible that they claim that my reblog is spam or affiliate marketing because i change the url to my website in the settings portion? or could it be that i reblog quite a bit when i first created this account. I think your reader Przemek too raised this query.

Abhi Balani January 18, 2012 at 8:59 am

I have created an account just now, on tumblr. That post is perfect to start with. I am on blogger so very much worried my blog’s SEO. So, Let’s start making backlinks to my sites.

Thank you.

Ana Hoffman January 19, 2012 at 6:42 am

Search engine traffic is great!

Przemek Czaicki January 16, 2012 at 5:20 pm

I shall start tumblr-ing immediately :)
Would you recommend using tumblr to create a few backlinks each day to spread them out, or is it irrelevant and I can simply go on a backlinking spree?

Thanks

Ana Hoffman January 16, 2012 at 9:02 pm

It depends on whether your site is brand new or established, Przemek.

For the most part, this shouldn’t be a problem.

Przemek Czaicki January 17, 2012 at 4:19 am

The dust has barely settled on this one, it’s about 6 months old. I’ll wait for a spike in robot traffic before I plant any more. Great site btw., added to my bookmarks.

Ana Hoffman January 17, 2012 at 8:56 am

By the way, I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED your photos…

Przemek Czaicki January 17, 2012 at 10:41 am

Aww, thanks Ana, I really appreciate the support :)

Przemek Czaicki March 22, 2012 at 3:53 pm

Heheh, just got my back linking account blacklisted. Looks like they figured out this backlinking method :) Funny, because if I’m logged in with that account, I have no access to the whole tumblr.com domain, i.e. I cannot browse any blogs. So I think they’re taking it seriously.

Ana Hoffman March 23, 2012 at 8:28 pm

Mine did as well, including the one that I didn’t reblog with at all… Not sure what’s going on.

As I said in the post, this is not against their rules at all; they allow and encourage reblogging.

Zellin Miaca January 16, 2012 at 2:33 pm

This is a nice strategy Anna. Ill surely be picking this so I could look for high PR do follow sites. I watched the video and its so informative. I’m now excited to generate traffic and blogging using this newly find venue for high PR suggested sites. Now ‘I’m heading to my next step to explore tumblr and sign up. Its absolutely nice and thanks for sharing this tip. Keep it up!

Ana Hoffman January 16, 2012 at 9:00 pm

You are welcome, Zellin.

zac January 15, 2012 at 10:25 pm

Hi,

I tried out your method. I could detect the backlink (using the linkchecker as per your advice) but when i use seo spyglass to check did i get that backlink, i couldn’t find it. What could have gone wrong?

Ana Hoffman January 16, 2012 at 9:12 am

Many times, it takes a while for Google to actually discover your links, Zac. It’s possible also that some of the links you drop around the web will never be found by Google.

zac January 11, 2012 at 6:59 pm

ok got it ;) Thanks.

btw how do you check that after doing this you are getting the backlinks to your website ?

Ana Hoffman January 11, 2012 at 8:37 pm

If you have the URL of the page where you left the link, then the simplest thing to do is to run it through scrapebox. com/free-link-checker – it’ll tell you if the page links to you or not.

If not, check out my latest post: http://www.trafficgenerationcafe.com/yahoo-site-explorer-alternatives/

zac January 11, 2012 at 2:16 am

I tried the part on “add custom domain” in the setting and i got stucked. Do you need to point your domain A record to 72.32.231.8? If i did that, say i set up a tumbler called iphoneaccessories. tumblr. com, after i add custome domain name (Say www. verigoodstore. com), everytime i key in iphoneaccessories. tumblr. com it will be directed to www. verigoodstore. com, or it is the other way round, that means when i type www. verigoodstore. com it will be directed to iphoneaccessories. tumblr. com?

Zac – you don’t need to change any records to do this; just follow the directions in the video.

That is truly an ingenious link building technique and to be sincere, I had no idea how powerful Tumblr can be as a link building tool. I opened an account in 2009 and I have never since revisited it until you mentioned it in this post. Thanks.

Now is a good time to start using it, Kevin!
