When it comes to posting original entries from the web, Tumblr’s text, photo, quote, link, chat, audio, and video options are just plain killer.

Posterous, though not really made with the web-created post in mind, does have a web posting WYSIWYG editor that does just fine. It’s a little bit more difficult to post and preview, but that’s not where Posterous tries to excel.

Posterous’ knockout posting punch is email — the technology that most of us take for granted on a daily basis. What Posterous can do with your emails is simply incredible, and we recommend creating all of your posts by emailing post@posterous.com.

But there is a fundamental problem with Tumblr that I wasn’t aware of before I started using it - the search engines don’t seem to like it. In the two mon
Here’s a little chart to illustrate:

- Hi Melissa, I work with the Movable Type and TypePad teams, and I think one of those platforms might well be your best choice. Both allow you to run multiple blogs all in one install, and both have significantly better security than other platforms, so you don’t have to worry about your blog getting hacked or constantly having to update your software
- But perhaps the best reason to take a look is because of how strong the SEO is on TypePad — we’ve had our customers’ own research show that TypePad blogs show up even ahead of Blogger sites, which are hosted by Google itself. (Take a look: http://twitter.com/simplyneecy/statuses/766451463 ) What’s cool is, you can use things like our Blog It service (http://blogit.typepad.com/) for free to post across Tumblr and TypePad or MT at the same time.
- Google loves Textpattern. I haven’t done it yet with mine, but there’s a way to integrate Tumblr posts right into Textpattern..
- Title of the blog is, AND direct quotes from the blog’s content. Didn’t come up in the first 5 search results pages!

- Great advice. What's holding me back is SEO. And the comment about Google dinging me for cross posting is definitely valid. Maybe I will make the move, redirect the feed and leave the old site up for archives.
- Posterous' lack of URL redirection might make the move tough for SEO. If you import a blog does it keep the same URLs? Right now Posterous doesn't have any other way of specifying them..
- nd no - there is no way to modify Posterous URL's after import
