How to Use Tumblr for SEO and Social Media Marketing - Moz
There are now over 130 million Tumblr blogs (known as "tumblrogs"), which makes Tumblr the largest hosted blog platform on the web, compared to the 70 million blogs hosted on Wordpress.com. It has 300 million monthly visitors, basically 15% of all Internet users. And it has a demographic that is unique in that 50% of the users are under 25, many of whom are teenagers (whereas teens are reportedly ditching Facebook in droves).
Big brands have taken notice of this too. In May, Yahoo purchased Tumblr for $1.1 billion (the largest purchase of a consumer Internet company since Google bought YouTube), and many of the world's largest brands already have a presence on Tumblr.
