Why You Can’t See Your Tumblr Backlinks in Ahrefs (And What To Do About It)
So, you’ve just created a shiny new Tumblr blog and you’re eagerly waiting for those fabulous backlinks to start rolling in—only to find out that they simply don’t show up in Ahrefs. Talk about a back-breaking bummer, right? Well, settle in, my friend, because it’s time to uncover the burst of reality you need to know.
Low Domain Authority? Yes, please don’t waste your precious time obsessing over those backlinks. Tumblr is, after all, a social platform with generally low domain authority. If you’re banking on those links boosting your visibility on Google, you might be in for a rude awakening. Imagine waiting for a tropical vacation, only to find out you’ve booked a trip to a swamp. 🎣
Check Indexing! 🚀 One of the most mundane yet crucial steps is checking if your links are indexed on Google. Spoiler alert: If they’re not indexed, you’re not getting the credit you think you deserve. Unearth this fact before you spiral into despair. A helpful hack? Use the URL inspection tool in Google Search Console to see if your links are happily living in the index. Smarty pants alert! 🧠
Digging for Gold with Digital PR The link-building game is akin to mining for gold, my friend. High-quality backlinks from reputable sites like Forbes or TechRadar come at a price—usually in the form of creating valuable press releases or compelling stories that journalists would salivate over. 💼✨ Launch those surveys or create buzzworthy headlines and send them flying into your industry’s inboxes!
While you’re at it, check out trending resources like #JournoRequest on Twitter for inspiration. 🐦 It’s like a treasure map leading you to the links your competition dreams about!
Lastly, let’s not forget that proper strategies like HARO (Help a Reporter Out) and guest posting remain kings of the castle when it comes to effective link building. If you’re thinking of offering a cheeky lunch in exchange for a link, an idea as wild as this can truly pave the way. 🍔💸
