One of the best ways to get traffic from Tumblr is to keep your Tumblr blog simple. I know some of the themes are flashy and pretty to look at but sometimes by having overwhelming colors and pictures could make your blog hard to follow and read. So, if you want to keep your reader’s attention, the best way is to keep your blog theme simple and clean.
The reblogging feature of Tumblr is one of its best assets. When you follow other Tumblr blogs within your niche, when they post anything on their blog, it will show up in your newsfeed. Then, you can reblog it to all of your followers. In about a months time, you can amass a hefty following racking up a lot of signups, sales, and social backlinks.
Another way to get a horde of traffic from Tumblr to your website is to find a handful of influencers in your niche that are on Tumblr and ask them to recommend your blog to the Tumblr Admins. If you have a great blog that is delivering high valued content, it could get placed on Tumblr’s explore page. If your Tumblr blog is placed on the explore page, you will see your blog triple in traffic.
If you follow Brendan’s advice in the video for at least 4 weeks, you will have enough traffic from Tumblr followers to begin sharing your content and having it go viral. Try to find content or images that are share-worthy, funny, or a bit controversial but not too over the top. Happy Tumbli’n
