Part 3: Free Blogging Sites

Free blogging sites are a world where you have much more control over your content. The tradeoff is that you don't have the built-in traffic base of Facebook. However, many of the free blogging platforms contain viral components like friend lists and "reblogging" that can increase your blog's reach similar to Facebook's viralness.

There are many free blogging platforms such as Blogger, Prosperous, Blog.com, Type pad, Weebly, LiveJournal, even WordPress has their own blogging platform. For this chapter, though, I'm going to concentrate on what I feel is the best of the bunch for traffic building TUMBLR.

I like Tumblr for a number of reasons. First of all, it's very quick and easy to set up an account and get a site going. If you're comfortable working online, you can open a new account and be stocking your Tumblr blog (aka Tumblog) within just a few minutes. If you're new to online, it's still simple, all you need is an email address and you're good to go. There's a very simple form to fill out, your account is set up and you're ready to go. Want to run more than one Tumblog? Just get another email address, that's what Gmail is for. ;) There are tons of free themes for your Tumblog, so you can make it look however you want. Simple is best, though, put the focus on the content. Plus, some of the layouts can really bog down the viewer's browser with unnecessary complexity.

Second, Tumblr has a number of features that are important for traffic building. Most important are the follow list and the reblogging features, but Tumblr also has blog post scheduling and optional integration with Facebook and Twitter. Tumblr also supports many third-party apps like Google Analytics and Feed burner. You can also follow other Tumblogs and their posts will appear in your dashboard feed, as will yours for anyone who follows your Tumblog.

Third, Tumblr is stable. They only slowly add features and don't do radical changes like Facebook did with their switch to the timeline. More than likely, you won't have to worry about re-doing your work.

Finally, most important, Tumblr has massive traction. Tumblr is currently rated by Alexa as the 20th busiest site in the US and 36th in the world. That's a lot of traffic, and it's reflected in search engine results. Just take a look at what I found when I searched for "self-shot girls" on Google:

Notice that there are 225,000,000 results, and results #1 and #2 are Tumblogs. Not only that, results #6 and #8 are also Tumblogs. In other words, four out of the top eight results were free blog sites that anyone could've put up. In general, Google loves Tumblr, and I bet these 4 blogs get a LOT of traffic.

Tumblogs are pretty simple, plus we can't tell how much traffic a Tumblog gets, so I'm not going to have case studies like I did for Facebook. Instead, I'm going to break down some blog post and Tumblr settings best practices for you, plus show you the posting process.
