A short, factual update and practical checklist that clarifies the points raised by , , and .

Squidoo is not a publishing option today — its key content was migrated to HubPages after the site was shut down in 2014. HubPages announced the acquisition on Aug 15, 2014. Tumblr remains an active microblogging platform and was acquired by Automattic (WordPress.com’s parent) in 2019; it now supports theme editing and domain controls that affect discovery and indexing. TechCrunch on the Automattic acquisition. Tumblr help: custom HTML and domain settings.

Important SEO realities: social platforms amplify content and drive referral traffic, but social “likes/shares” are not a direct Google ranking signal — their value is indirect (visibility → links → ranking). Links posted on social/UGC pages are often treated differently by search engines, so social should be used for distribution and discovery rather than relying on it for link equity. See Search Engine Journal’s summary of Google’s stance.

Practical, safe workflow (applies to Tumblr or any UGC channel)

  • Prefer original content on the site intended to rank; use Tumblr posts as teasers or syndication hubs.
  • If republishing full text on a platform, set a canonical to the original URL (or use excerpt + link) to avoid duplicate-content issues. Google on canonicalization.
  • Use Tumblr’s custom-theme editor or a custom domain (if needed) to control metadata and visibility. Tumblr domains & theme docs.
  • Tag conscientiously, add descriptive alt text to images, and avoid repeated anchor-text backlinks from many UGC pages.
  • Monitor referral traffic and backlinks with Analytics and an SEO tool; treat social as a discovery channel that can earn real editorial links.

Context note: ’s emphasis on useful, non-spammy posts is sound; ’s concern about Squidoo is resolved by the HubPages move; and ’s reminder about social sites’ off‑site role is correct but should be paired with the cautions above.

These are social networking sites. The ones you mentioned are popular ones and like others can positively trigger off-site ranking factors the search engine could consider of value to your web pages. There's other good ones too that help with web site promotion. These are not meant to spam repeatedly with keyphrase stuffed lunacy. They are meant to offer the world something of unique value, within your web page content mostly. Lightly influence the search engine into determining your "posts" in social networking sites are credible. Also, a little trick I'm using now is to add a quick access gadget to my Chrome browser so thatr anytime I'm on a web page I want to share socially I can choose the service and write out my blurb quite effeciently, especially when my account(s) log in automatically.

Google+ is a pretty good new social site. There's future power to be generated from that one. Another good one I like is DIGG. That's because I often find my DIGG blurbs on some pretty valuable web pages because DIGG feed a minor part of the web page's contrent, then remains there seemingly permanently, even .gov sites sometimes which is cool with me.
