Hosting your blog on blog.startup.com is also broken, because you derive no SEO benefit from it. It's more likely that you drive traffic from SEO than from Tumblr 'reblogs'. Hence, you shouldn't even use tumblr for your main corporate blog.
>> Hosting your blog on blog.startup.com is also broken, because you derive no SEO benefit from it. Any chance you could clarify this?
No need to read this. Another whine post.
Is this a joke?
I agree with the problem, but disagree with the solution. When I come across an interesting blog post, I also want an obvious way to the blog's homepage to see more posts. It would be equally frustrating if I want to see more posts, and instead end up on some landing page. While designing my startup's blog[1], I looked at a lot of other startups' blogs and noticed that most of them had the same problem the author des…
As the logo and link are the only things in the header this works pretty well for our visitors/users.
Logo link issue aside, I'd love to host my company blog on Tumblr but have heard bad things about the SEO factor of Tumblr sites, even if you use your own blog.company.com subdomain. I have no empirical evidence of this, but anecdotally it appears to be true, so I'v been deterred.
I heard from discussions on SEOMoz blog that hosting on Tumblr doesn't give your domain the "SEO juice", but I don't actually know what that means. Perhaps your domain isn't marked as valuable when your popular posts are not hosted on your primary site. However, when your posts do get popular, they drive just as much traffic to your blog.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
But it doesn't. When you click on my head on Medium, I don't expect you to land on my home page , or my company page, or any other page that is mine on the internet. As far as Medium and readers are concerned, my Medium profile is your destination ( https://medium.com/@kirillzubovsky ). On there you see all my posts and all the social information that I provided, and you can further explore the service and/or my link…
Lets not conflate this with the M logo, which wasn't my point (I don't think either of us would expect the Tumblr logo to take you anywhere other than Tumblr). The point, correct me if I'm wrong, of your post was that a company's logo on their Tumblr blog should go to their own website and not to the root of their Tumblr blog. Yet, because your blog is on Medium it's ok that none of the titles go to your homepage? I…
Like I said, going from my face to my Medium profile is exactly what should be expected. Much like going to your profile on pretty much any website out there.
If by clicking on the M button I got somewhere other than the Medium front page, that would have been a valid argument for you, but I do get to Medium front page, so it isn't.
