We recently received some very positive feedback that we’d like to share with you. This comes from Dominic D. (aka “Failed”), a GFY forum member that closely followed our Tumblr tutorial series published last March.

He put a lot of effort and persistence into his work and even started a thread on the forum to post his great results obtained using our method.

He then came back to us about a week ago with these nice words and, even better, complementary information to be used in conjunction with our method for even better results!

Feel free to use it and remember… Perseverance is the key!

Here’s what Dominic wrote us after using our guides:

Quote:

Thank You CrakRevenue! It’s a rarity to find affiliates in our industry that are willing to publically share their successful tactics and tools. Reading the step-by-step instructions and in-depth information the team at CrakRevenue shared in their Tumblr tutorial series was exciting. It was an introduction to new ways of gaining traffic and revenue for those of us unfamiliar with Tumblr. I suspect it even helped those with previous knowledge, as well. To show my appreciation for my traffic and revenue increase, I would like to share some of what I learned along the way. No Fear! There is a piece of advice I want to share right away. Don’t listen to the negative comments about being banned, and losing all of your hard work. There are many well-aged, hardcore porn blogs still happily posting away. Follow the Tumblr rules, and forget the scare tactics made by webmasters who are afraid of competition. It’s amazing how many people want to offer you advice when it’s a deterrent! After you’ve overcome your fear of being banned, it’s time to read the tutorials provided by CrakRevenue. They guide you through important steps in account creation, social interaction, and traffic generation. When your blog is functional and you’ve implemented everything suggested in the tutorials, we’re ready to start tweaking! Tags Let’s start with tags. In the 3rd step of the 1st tutorial it states there is a tag limit of 10. From the research I have conducted and the posts I have made, it appears that the tag limit is actually 30. Note that you will not receive a warning if you go over 30 tags while creating a post. This could be an incredible waste of time, so keep an accurate count. Being aware that there are a total of 30 tags allows us to experiment a lot more with keywords and it casts a larger net. Big net = more fish! It’s incredibly important that we pay attention to tags for several reasons. The tags we use place us into the Tumblr search results. There are tags that will generate little to no attention, and tags that will make your eyes light up when you receive your follower count updates. Confident with my test results, I’ve ignored the suggestion of not using the same tags repeatedly. Adding the same quality tag on many subsequent posts put the blog at the top of a popular search query in Tumblr. This how I’ve amassed a significantly higher follower count compared to similar blogs that I’ve created. Posting Patterns The follower count can also be rapidly increased by considering post frequency. Research your competitors and find out how often they post. In order to stand a chance of being noticed in the dashboard feed and internal search results, it’s important to post competitively. You should have plenty of content available to reblog from those you have already been following. It’s not crucial that every post be your own, in fact, it makes you appear more social if you mix it up. Use the queue and bang out those posts! Post timing will also increase traffic. Pay attention to the days and times that your follower count increases and your stats spike. This is a part of knowing your audience. Which day and at what time do most viewers search for your content? After answering that question, increase your post count during those time periods and attract more followers. Know Your Settings I’ve seen active conversations take place with followers and with people that I follow. Enabling your blog to allow replies encourages participation and time spent on your site. It also appears that posts with comments tend to be shared a lot more. Be vocal and ask people to follow you! The more viewers added to the conversation the better. Let people ask questions, even anonymously. I’ve received compliments, complaints, and a few questions too. The complaints are always anonymous, of course. Whatever the message sent, it again encourages participation and increases time spent on the site. It also gives you a chance to further interact with your loyal viewers and keep them coming back. Letting people submit posts is another big opportunity for traffic and follower gains. The people who see their own submissions on the blog get excited. They are more willing to share their own blog posts than any others. The potential of receiving recognition from other social networks increases greatly. I like to make posts daring my blog viewers to submit for one reason or another. It works well! Back To Blogging I certainly hope that what I’ve shared helps bring all of you more traffic, and more revenue! Again, I would like to thank the CrakRevenue team for the amazing tutorials. I very much appreciate learning new ways to promote sites, generate traffic, and create revenue opportunities. I’m positive that anyone who reads CrakRevenue’s Tumblr tutorial series will have the same success I’ve had. - Dominic D.

please feel free to share your experiences with us.

With all the competition-reporting bots?

How will these tutorials have to be revised with the acquisition of tumblr by Yahoo?!

Nonetheless they were good tutorials, congrats to everyone else who followed them with success.

Failed

My blogs are alive and gaining followers every minute. That's why I specifically included the paragraph about disregarding the fear tactics of webmasters afraid of competition. The only way your competition can destroy your blogs is if you've broken Tumblr's rules.

As far as the Yahoo acquisition is concerned, Marissa Mayer (Yahoo CEO) has stated that the porn can stay and that she promises not to screw Tumblr up.

Just got my several hundred followers porn blog on tumblr terminated and my account closed. Tell me again how this doesn't happen?

Dankasaur

Not following the rules.

PornDiscounts-V

I had it set to NSFW. It had occasional nudity. It wasn't overly pornographic.

Fat Panda

bottom line your blog(s) will be CLOSED eventually.

ONE email to [email protected] complaining about a blog SPAMMING and its fucking DONE, true or not

rogueteens

not just a spamming complaint, complain about anything, one of the pics, even a spelling mistake and the blog will be gone.

Failed, post the url of one of you blogs here, I guarantee that it'll be deleted by the days out. (this isn't a threat. I do NOT send mail to tumblr about other people's blogs but I guarantee that someone will)

nice reading you Dominic.
How do you usually link to the sponsor?
linking from the pic or adding a link in the description?

I really like tumblr and will use it the way it has been explained above. But you are right that it has a very good chance of being close down one day. Until then, I'll work it but just not put ALL of my time into it.

Anything that a webmaster builds and does not control he will likely lose one day.

Niktamer

Glad to see that people are interested and debating, very motivating to continue.
We will post some clear results / case studies very soon.

meanwhile you can comment in here, on our blog or contact our team to get more details.

you don't want to do that, read up on the tumblr help pages, a blog flagged as porn will be marked as "hide" from the search engines.

BTW, when it comes to tags can you just use them in this format:

milf,wife,tits,naked,porn etc... and then any time a person searches "milf naked" my page with those tags will come up?

Or

Will I have to use milf naked, milf tits, milf wife, etc...

Meaning do I need to use exact search terms in order to be found?

?

Failed

My ratios are different for each sponsor. The most popular blog I have, and 2 others, promote 3 sponsors. The ratios from pure Tumblr traffic are: 1:800 1:1400 and 1:2750. I'm actually very happy with all 3, considering where the traffic is coming from. But, I hope that adding sponsors and continuing to experiment will get all of my ratios closer to the 1:800 mark or better. I've seen better ratios through Tumblr traffic than I have with some of my own sites.

I never link directly to the sponsor. I always use a buffer page that shows more content than the post on Tumblr. From that page I mix it up with direct join and tour pages. The buffer page is linked from Tumblr through both pictures and text added to the post or beneath the picture. I mix up that way of linking, as well. Doing the same thing over and over seems to result in fewer clicks than throwing some curve balls in there. Perhaps I just haven't found the right method for consistency as of yet.

That's a good question. From what I've seen with my own tagging, using an example of "milf naked" will bring you search traffic for "milf", "naked", and "milf naked". So, repeating the word milf in your tags isn't needed unless you specifically want results for "milf naked", "milf tits", and the like. I hope that makes sense.

Also, I'm certainly no expert on Tumblr search dynamics and I'm still learning as I go. My recommendation to you would be, experiment, document all relevant information, and compare it to your results when you experiment again.

Thanks again!

Fat Panda

find a competitors blog, email [email protected] with the url and some allegations and within 24 hours they will be GONE!

try it

mopek1

Have you seen it happen?

Niktamer

Thats not really the goal of our collaborative tutorials... but I guess we need to deal with this kind of attitude, that is clearly part of the game.

I would but would be too afraid they'd shut down all of them.

Failed

The only reason your blog would be deleted is if you break Tumblr's rules. But, let's say we buy into the fear of having our blogs deleted and that Tumblr can make them disappear for no reason at all. What did we lose by starting a Tumblr blog? Nothing! Whether your blog is deleted at 10 followers, or 10,000 followers, you gained traffic for the entire time your blog was visible. We also continue to receive traffic from our posts that were reblogged. Your hard work continues to work for you even after you stop posting or have your blog deleted. The only way you don't reap rewards is if you don't try!

Helpful tutorial for Tumblr. Are you able to post any sample blogs that are doing well using these strategies?

You are mad in all senses to tout your own horn. Your tumblr blogs will be found by competitors and destroyed. Unfortunate but true.

Hmm I wonder if they ban for this too...if most of your posts are nude and you've set it to NSFW for some google love

another thought: if you have multiple blogs - they ban the one in question or they go with the entire account ?

you are totally wrong on your first point but I agree with the second, the benefits don't last long but any reblogs do stay up.

the entire account goes.
