I had a bunch of blogs on Tumblr, one of the about stock picks and Google never visited the site and never indexed the content. Tooks weeks if not months for a post to show up in the index at all. But in Blogger - with an hour on a brand new blog. I think it's because of the way you can link content in Tumblr. The structure is too easy to abuse. You can see it on Tumblr pages that have a high page rank, you'll see 3000+ likes with names like "real estate website" as the like. I had the same experience.

I also had the same hunch that Tumblr blogs have no SEO juice, at least not on default settings. I was really interested in starting a Tumblr blog due to the simplicity, but then realised that I've never landed, not once, at a Tumblr blog via search. Same goes for the others like Posterous.

Google just seems to ignore my Tumblr blogs, despite any tweaking, whereas I can get a WP blog up to PR4 in very little time. It's the traffic too, though, Google just doesn't seem to send any traffic to Tumblr. Having said this, like you, I like the concept and some of the functionality of Tumblr. Ho hum.

I recommend somewhere between a 1% and 4% keyword density. Don't go any higher than this, or your site will look like a spam site to the search engines, and may be penalized.
