Do links from a Tumblr blog count as inbound links?
-
That's it. I'm thinking of making a Tumblre blog (s) for inbound links. Is it worthwhile?
-
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.

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.
-
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 -
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. -
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...
-
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,
Andy

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

Link Building
Hi Mozzers, I work for an IT company specialising in outsourcing Cisco Engineers worldwide. Due to being involved heavily in outsourcing, I'm finding it impossible to generate genuine and organic links to our website. My question is that is it essential to have back links back to our website to achieve high search engine rankings? I'm unable to get clients and other partners to provide links as we're the outsourced company,but I can get backlinks from unrelated c ompanies. For example we're running a CSR initiative with a National Gym relating to health & fitness, also links from our web designers etc... Do these links have any type of value? Any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated. Jason 🙂

Should I link from my blog back to my product pages?
Hello... I just installed a blog on my Magento site. My question is whether or not i should be linking within posts on the blog back to the product or category pages that i am talking about...from an SEO perspective. If in my post i am talking about flashlights being important when preparing for a storm, should i link the word flashlights to the flashlight category on my site? I know I can do this, the question is should i, from google's perspective. A) should i link the word (flashlights) to that category on my page B) should i put a line at the bottom of every post that says something like "if you are interested in purchasing flashlights, visit this link" and hyperlink that whole sentence... THANKS!

Value of Inbound Links to Pages With a lot of Outbound Links
Suppose you have a resource page of the Top 50 Awesome Sites in your niche. Since there are about 50 outbound links, then I would think there will be less Page Rank being passed to internal pages from internal links on the resource page. Since you are getting less PR passed to internal pages, are there other ways the inbound links can be beneficial, such as increasing the diversity of links of your domain? Sites like SEO Optimise seem to create a lot of Top 30 Resources lists and I have read that they think it is a strong tactic.
