Tumblr and SEO: A Case Study in Rapid Response
David’s quick implementation of SEO practices got glowing praises over on an SEO site. Well done!

Same goes for my sitemap. The post description and date always seem to cause havoc to this:
Where did my (231-74) 157 links go? Did they vanish into the Tumblr cookie jar?
Lastly, invalid dates galore:

About “m0serious”: About me…hmm…in short, I am a God fearing, success driven, sportsaholic, internet addict, lyricist, proud father of 3 who loves entertaining friends. I enjoy everything from good music, good food, great church service and web surfing. I appreciate how the internet has made it possible to do basically anything you want to.
