Is BH SEO using tumblr dead?

I'm curious to this as well. I ranked a few pages on 3rd and 4th page (I know, nothing to be proud of), but those positions were mainly due to tumblr links. Haven't seen a decline in position yet with this change.

Yeah, I haven't neither, but I believe this change was made today, so it will take some time until the link juice goes away I believe. That's fucking sad.
 
Just checked one of my blogs and link is now the new redirect format. Just bought some expired Tumblers as well...shucks.
 
Damn, this sucks but according to Matt Cutts google does follow and pass value to meta refresh links.

That info might be old and out dated tho.

The best way to figure this out is to test it.

Someone should do a case study for us all :)

Since it's a 0 seconds meta refresh it probably does passes some juice according to what I've read, but nothing compared to the direct link.

What? This is a big change if your someone like me that has a nice tumblr pbn thats juiced up with a fuck ton of GSA links.

Tumblr is a great web 2.0 and you can buy great tumblrs for cheap. Its other options but tumblr was the go to.
 
Damn i just bought a bunchj of expired tumblrs. Might as well use them to see if they do anything anymore.
 
Is there anybody competent enough to confirm that.Is tumblr worthless for SEO now?

Nothing ever dies. Although, intuitive/creativity lacks which makes a method not worth while.
 
Yea dude, this philosophical bullshits are kinda old. We all know that everything evolves and if you are smart you will find a way and bla bla bla bla bla bullshits. What am i asking is , for us, mortals who don't know the secret ways of sucking a google's dick , are these backlinks worthless now.
 
Here is what we know:

1.https://www.stonetemple.com/eric-enge-interviews-googles-matt-cutts/

2. My ranking using only tumblr to rank has not vanished yet.

3. My ranking using some tumblr has not tanked yet.

4. A Meta Refresh works in many ways like a 301 Redirect, passing a high percentage of link juice. Especially with a 0% Delay, that acts almost identically to a 301. At least, currently. Just like a 301, a Meta Refresh is a way to get users from page A to page B. Nothing more. Having a Meta Refresh tag on a page DOES NOT mean the link is no longer Do - Follow or will be less powerful, it is a tool for Tumblr and with other websites, does not implicitly mean it will be worse for ranking.

5. Rumor is a 0 second Meta Refresh.
​

6. Again, 0 second Meta Refresh works the same as if not better than a 301 in just about all testing so far (Which you can Google) so it is not something to get your panties in a bunch.

So now that we have some facts and what we know out the way, what does this mean?

Using typical MMA math, or as we know if it SEO Math, if 301 passes no less than 90% of original link juice, and a Meta Refresh operates the same way reportedly and in practice, the Meta Refresh will pass no less than 90% of the link juice.

Those are fictional numbers, but just trying to put things into perspective. We do know it passes most link juice. Will it be less than a Tumblr does currently? I would bet so. Will it be significant? Not with a zero second delay. That is my opinion and until my ranking and testing shows me otherwise, that is how I will be operating.

go ahead and give up using Tumblrs. It makes it easier for me to get good ones. Until you test it and know it does not work, posting anything like this is a waste of time.

Me? I am having a VA prep a project now to split test a KW I have previously ranked to see if I can rank it the same way with Tumblr. We shall see. I suggest everyone does there own testing if they want to make it in SEO and not just toss around ideas. After getting a question in one of my threads, in PM and in email about this topic I thought I would share my thoughts.

My thought is, if it works still, does any of this matter?
 
Now that's what i'm calling an answer. Thank you! :)

I've Tried after seeing tons of thread for Tumblr Dead.
Was Eager To Test Out :)

MY RESULTS:
I've used 3 Keywords (High, Med & Low Respectively) :) None of them got SERP....

1. Got 3 different Tumblr Blogs:
2. Metrics (PA: 25+, UR: 10+, PR: 2)
3. Got 3 different Articles (Not Spun) used them as Tier 1.
4. 5 Edu Links for High Comp Keyword and 200 GSA Blog Comments.
5. 2 Edu Links for Mid Comp Keyword and 200 GSA Blog Comments.
6. 1 Edu Link for Low Comp Keyword and 10 Manual Comments.

Serp Movement:

High Comp Keyword: From None to #102
Medium Comp Keyword: From None to #39
Low Comp Keyword: From None to #12

I guess, you can figure out Ans from this :)
 
As long as you are still using the content unique and keyword article, there must be traffic towards your site

Can you even read? I said nothing about SEO being dead. But having a link on a tumblr blog now, which is probably the favorite web 2.0 of many SEOs currently, is the same as nothing.

I am getting a bit tired of people like you asking if something is dead just because they are to lazy to test shit out themselves

I call them burger flippers, because they do not have the attitude of a banking successful IMer that is needed to really make it in this business, sounds harsh?

Maybe, but it is still true though.


Good luck to you.
