1. Create a site.xml  this can be a bit tricky with Tumblr [in order to generate your own], I heard of a couple of places where you can do this but I haven’t been able to get any of them working, but if your keen and want to use the one they provide it can be found here : http://site.tumblr.com/sitemap.xml. You will want to submit this to Google so they can begin to start parsing your posts. If you have multiple pages on your Tumblr like I do; you will get one for every custom page as well as one for the main Tumblr blog. I am not sure if Tumblr even does this. I would though if your serious about ranking on search engines.
2. Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools  this is essential to tracking your blog’s progress, how much traffic you get, and what people find interesting. Rather than just writing amazing content and hope it find the correct audience track it, guide it towards the correct audience with these amazing tools.
3. Submit your site to Dmoz  from what I can gather its something old that everyone uses it. Google checks to see if your website is listed here. I don’t why. The approval process takes awhile especially because, it has people vetting if the website belongs where they say it does, basically just do it.
4. Monitor your websites uptime I couldn’t stress this more [UptimeRobot] with a Tumblr blog. I was well aware that when Tumblr went down within seconds of happening this is an amazing service and you should have this linked up for your website. Lately its been more like I get notified when my Tumblr blog is up! :D
5. Write something find your audience and cater to them, blog about things they will find interesting and of course things that you love writing about. Comment and talk to other bloggers people that you find interesting!
