What is Tumblr?

• Tumblr is considered a micro-blog, but somewhat bigger than Twitter.

• Tumblr is also a very “clean” type of blog.

• This means that there are not a lot of fancy graphics and add-ons like with MySpace.

• Tumblr is also a very well organized type of blogging, collection system.

Page 11: Tumblr for the PI

Why Tumblr?

• Tumblr has an Alexa rank of 187

• Squidoo has an Alexa rank of 264

• Facebook has an Alexa rank of 2!

• That’s why you should be looking at Tumblr as a way to increase traffic to your website.

• And best of all it is FREE!

Page 12: Tumblr for the PI

Why Tumblr?

• You might have a blog already, which is fine.

• But remember, to get higher rankings in Google, you need to have a lot of high ranking sites linking to your site.

• The best of these sites are Web2.0 websites.

• And since these Web2.0 sites are so well liked by Google, Google thinks “well, if this Tumblr blog links to this PI website, it must be important!”

Page 13: Tumblr for the PI

Why Tumblr?

• Post Text, Audio, Photos, Links, Quotes, Videos, Slideshows and more!

• You can get a custom domain

• Make things private or public

• Easy tools that make adding bookmarks to your Tumblr site very easy.

• Link with Twitter

• Link with Facebook

• Use Tumblr on mobile devices

Page 14: Tumblr for the PI

Goal for Tumblr??

• What is the goal for your account on Tumblr?

• Do you want more visitors?

• Do you want to be ranked high in the Search Engines?

• Do you want more clients?

• NOTE: there is a difference between visitors and clients

• You must DECIDE on your Goal first before you setup your account on Tumblr.

Page 15: Tumblr for the PI

Visitors vs. Clients

• With Visitors, your focus should be on 3 things:1) Get them to sign up for your mailing list

2) Buy something from you (see Mondays presentation)

3) Become your client

• With Clients, you need to provide them a source of contact, SECURE, and additional services.

Page 16: Tumblr for the PI

Keywords

• Keywords are the way search engines work.

• Keywords are: PI, Private Investigator, GPS, etc

• FORGET GETTING THE TOP RANKINGS FOR THOSE!!

• Besides those are worthless keywords, people using those are browsing. You want BUYERS.

Page 17: Tumblr for the PI

Keywords/Tags

• So, as I have said before, think like someone searching for your business

• What would they type in to find your exact business?

• Not PI, or Private Investigator, think more words

• These are your keywords or Tags

Copyright 2010 PIM LLC

Page 18: Tumblr for the PI

Long Tail Keywords

• Long tail keywords is where everything is at now, and what you need.

• Consider the following list:1) PI

2) Private Investigator

3) Private Investigator in GA

4) Divorce & Private Investigator in GA

• Which do you think is someone looking to hire right now?
