Tip #11 - What if Your Phrase is “Gone” on Tumblr?
By Mike Mindel | August 17, 2007
Update
Tumblr is currently suspending and banning blogs for unknown reasons. We suggest you use an alternative content platform.
See this post Tip#12 - It’s the Process not the Platform for more details.
Tumblr is NOT the Holy Grail
Some of you are missing the point.
Tumblr is not the holy grail.
If you see your umbrella phrase has gone in Tumblr and there are already two people in that niche, then either change your umbrella phrase, change your niche or move to another platform.
Please see Tip #12 - IMPORTANT - It’s the Process NOT the Platform.
What if Your Phrase is “Gone” on Tumblr
So you’ve done all your market research.
You’ve been GTrending and niche mining and nugget spotting.
Armed with your ‘umbrella phrase’ - one eyed dog spotting - you troop on over to Tumblr and try to sign up.
Only the ‘umbrella phrase’ has already been taken and you see this!
Wotchya Gonna Do?
Well. Quit obviously!
That’s it.
Your Thirty Day Challenge is over.
Thanks for joining us.
It’s been real.
Go home.
If you’re already at home then stick on the telly.
Watch Seinfeld.
Ring a friend and tell them how you nearly became an internet marketer.
You’re DONE.
I Don’t Think So
Of course you’re not going to do that.
You’re a trooper. You’re going to stick it out until the end aren’t you?
But I bet you thought about it, huh?
After all, you’ve written, what, six articles by now?
Well. Don’t worry.
Help is at hand.
There is More Than One Combination
Try the following combinations:
- unusualpropertiesforsale.tumblr.com
- unusual-properties-for-sale.tumblr.com
- unusual_properties_for_sale.tumblr.com
- unusual-propertiesforsale.tumblr.com
- www-unusualpropertiesforsale.tumblr.com
- www-unusual-properties-for-sale.tumblr.com
- unusualproperties-forsale.tumblr.com
You will ALWAYS find a combination that works.
Happy now?
:-)
A Note on Separate Blogs
If you have separate niche keywords then create a different Tumblr blog for each one.
So one blog for oneeyeddog.tumblr.com and another one for oneeyeddogspotting.tumblr.com.
The reason is that you are targeting a specific niche keyword with each blog. All your posts must be dedicated to that one keyword e.g. ‘one eyed dogs’.
As always, make sure the content is highly relevant, targeted and useful or Google will label it spam and eject you from the index.
Rightly so too…

WE’re on a roll I saw this comment from Caro inthe Forum also. There is so much good mining inthe forum. You have to sift thru the fools gold as well. But over all I think everyone eans well. It is just that us new guys are a little slower.
