I was testing the waters with some sample posts in my Tumblr blog and try if Google can index it properly. (You may want to read, "110mb for Sale? What Happens Now to the Premium Subscribers".)
After a couple of days (or three), tried Google Web and Google Blogs — nada! The Google blogs actually even return at No. 1 (well, it was the latest) my main blog (Deuts.NET), which contained links to the latest entries at my Tumblr blog.
You see, my main WordPress (self-hosted) blog which shows only the title can actually rank higher than my Tumblr blog. Now, I'm wondering, should I retain my domain deuts.org hosted at Tumblr?
I'm starting to think twice. I liked Tumblr's Facebook application — no, I loved it! But the fact remains that I don't actually get that much traffic from Facebook anyway. Majority of the traffic in my Tumblr are from my followers there. Referrers — not even search engines.

ReplyDeleteYou see, it depends from person to person. I got lot of traffic from Facebook, though must find some other sources ASAP. :)
ReplyDeletei was thinking about the same. googling abt it, this page was the first result.
ReplyDeleteI never came across a tumblr page as a result in any google search of mine till date. Its very surprising as they say tumblr is no.1 micro blogging service.
its just strange
