However, tumblr is a social network. So--like twitter--you have to have a good balance of content & spam vs. socializing with other blogs outside of your own. Otherwise, you just look like another affiliate site. Tone down the banner farms and hide your links WITHIN the content. It may help to purchase a blog template or two. It shows you have actually contributed to their service, where others may not have. Make your blog blend in with all of the freeloaders. Participate, encourage your viewers to submit to you or ask questions (answer them, of course). Participate, participate, participate! I have yet to have one of my tumblr blogs shut down (knock on wood).
I hope this eases your concerns about your blogs being shut down.
Good luck to you. Get your money.

Thanks for the advice, that was one of the first really helpful posts in regards to avoiding being banned. I've been leaning towards less spam / more legitimate looking blogs and haven't been banned in 5 weeks...usually my sites last 1-2 weeks.
