The wording was a little different, but yeah. It would be interesting to see how cartoon preference correlates with other things. For example, I would expect that Disney people are more likely to be political extremists (left and right).
- Paul Buchheit
That's interesting Paul. I see the very flip of that; most of my hardcore Disney friends (most of them work(ed) for Disney) are very uninterested in politics, whereas the WB fans are extremely political.
- Anika
Disney wins at yet another level. It is not only interested in erasing the real by turning it into a three-dimensional virtual image with no depth, but it also seeks to erase time by synchronizing all the periods, all the cultures, in a single traveling motion, by juxtaposing them in a single scenario. Thus, it marks the beginning of real, punctual and unidimensional time, which is also...

Tumblr users...what's your experience with google rankings for your blogs? The one reason I don't use Tumblr properly is because of generally poor search engine rankings. Am I imagining it or are they definitely worse than standard wordpress blogs?
def, Sergej Sidoruk, Kathleen Capps and 11 other people liked this
no thoughts on this anyone?
- Zee.
Mine are fine. Google PageRank says I have a 3 but I only launched it a few weeks ago. If you search for internet detour (the site is http://internetdetour.com) it comes up first and I can find my stuff on some other searches. Not terrible at all.
- Sweyn Venderbush
I don't track search rankings for my tumblr blog.
- jbrotherlove
@Sweyn, what about for individual posts? I tried searching for a few of them and couldn't find one on google when just searching by the post title
- Zee.
There's something wrong with Tumblr rankings for sure. Even my empty "coming soon" page with the same address was GR:2 now I'm on tumblr and it's GR:1! Seems like Google is punishing everyone who opts to use Tumblr. The subject domain is http://mindcast.org for example.
- Berk D. Demir
Zee, even with the juice of a newspaper linking to my tumblr blog, it performs so poorly in search results (and this is with custom page names) that I've stopped caring about page rank entirely. What matters is the content being available for easy importation into other services (Friendfeed) and websites (mine or other like minded ones).
- Brandon Mendelson
Shocking Brandon...I need to dig into this and find out why
- Zee.
Some SEO may be needed. See the following. Replace BLOG TITLE as needed.
- aptjauder
<title>{Title}{block:SearchPage}, Search results for: {SearchQuery}{/block:SearchPage}{block:PostSummary}, {PostSummary}{/block:PostSummary} - <BLOG TITLE></title>
- aptjauder
<meta name="title" content="{Title}{block:SearchPage}, Search results for: {SearchQuery}{/block:SearchPage}{block:PostSummary}, {PostSummary}{/block:PostSummary} - <BLOG TITLE>">
- aptjauder
{block:Description}<meta name="description" content="{block:PostSummary}{PostSummary}{/block:PostSummary} {MetaDescription} - <BLOG TITLE>" />{/block:Description}
- aptjauder
Try using these and see how they work for you. YMMV.
- aptjauder
Hey thanks apt, it's not really for me, because i'm quite happy where I am. But i was considering writing a story about why it was the case and how it could be fixed, so that will still help - thank you
- Zee.
My poorly setup and maintained non-SEO optimised WP blog far exceeds hits than my regularly updated Tumblr.
- Threepwood
It's partially about how certain things are set up which matter a lot to Google. For example, mindcast.org uses a consistent title across the board for all posts which makes it very hard for Google to tell them apart. Optimizing <title>, <h1>, meta title and description tags *should* help.
- aptjauder
I am with Jbrotherlove - I don't check the google stuff on it.
- Brent - Yes I am
A Wordpress blog, even a bog standard one without any SEO plugins, is search engine friendly with a simple custom permalink.
- Gilbert Harding
One thing to note. I think WP does generate a sitemap and afaik, there is no way to generate/submit one for tumblr. If someone else knows how to...
- aptjauder
Another reason is that the rss generated by Tumblr cannot be used to submit as a sitemap. The short urls result in a 301 to the long url which google does not like. Complain to tumblr if you care about this. You can see this if you use GWT and look under sitemap details.
- aptjauder
Tumblr is a lot of noise. Most Tumblr blogs are about lolcats and random Rick Astley crap. I could understand how a search engine could dismiss *.tumblr.com as low quality. For best pagerank always have a full yourdomain.com URL so your content can stand alone in indexes.
- Sparky, lurking
Sparky, many folks, including myself, are using full domains for our Tumblr blogs and still getting poor results.
- Brandon Mendelson
Tumblr itself is PR 7 so pretty good. Keep in mind many tumblr blogs do not contain a lot of text which also accounts for lowered results.
- aptjauder
Just found http://tumblrmap.net/ which will generate an xml sitemap of your tumblr blog - I'm trying it out now and see it makes any difference.

There will always be a VIP group of sorts... back when Facebook started it looked like early adaptors were joining over there. Then came Twitter, now Friendfeed. If Friendfeed gets too mainstream (if that's possible) I'm wondering what's next.

Why would they do that? They are already getting tons of money from sponsors and advertisers. Duh!

@David: In the Web 2.0 world, there's bound to be something new and already in the works. I wonder what it is too, but I'd be surprised if it's not currently under construction, or even ready to launch.

I swear that first sentence just made my blood pressure shoot up 20 points. The second sentence rapidly lowered it. I have a few people added who unfortunately take everything forwarded to them as fact. They will never get an invite. This is my hideout from the people who shouldn't be allowed online.

Hmm... I'm not sure which disappoints me more... People being overly anxious over the idea that Facebook will supposedly be charged for use.

"If you’ve been reading some of the previous WordPress-related articles here on Smashing Magazine, you’ll know that WordPress is much more than a blogging platform. It can be used as a CMS, too. And WordPress widgets are a powerful tool in your WordPress development arsenal. When you think of WordPress widgets, you may think they’re just a way to rearrange various items in your blog’s sidebar without touching any code. Sure, that’s nice and all, but that’s really just the tip of the iceberg of all the things WordPress widgets can do."
