Can Tumblr still be useful for us in Adult?

I know they banned porn awhile back (and lost half their user base) and many of us left for other platforms.

But I was wondering if it would still be useful for branding or backlinks to our main sites.

Their terms state that you can post erotica or stories/text, so has anyone had any experience with this?

I don't want to invest a lot of work into a blog only to see it banned a year later because some admin decided that he/she was feeling power happy that day.

How did they ban you for owning a subreddit with 100k followers?

It's still good for backlinks. You can find code online to bypass out redirect.

The html templates can be edited directly to get a nofollow link from tumblr pages. With that said though, it's nearly a dead site so don't expect too many active tumblr's to like/follow, but it does still have some value from an SEO point of view.

Tumblr used to be great.

But now it looks like you have to join to see any posts.

They stuffed it up.

Even for non porn, I am not sure its worth bothering with.

It would be interesting to see the stats, but I suspect fewer and fewer use the site.

Was it not better if you bought any of those premium templates they had
and then point your domain to Tumblr?
I think sites with own domain on such premium templates were not deleted so fast...

I had few blogs over 250k followers before the ownership change...i abandoned them for few years,like a year ago I've tried posting some censored pics where i censored genitalia this resulted in blogs being deleted so...i guess we can forget about Tumblr.

All the ones I run seem to be ok, unless this started recently? I'm referring to using a standard template and then editing it to add a footer or header link.

just change the youraccount to your username and redirect it out by editing the html





<! DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<base href="https://gfy.com/" /><!--[if IE]></base><![endif]-->
<script type="text/javascript">
if (location.host == youraccount.tumblr.com')
location.replace(location.href.replace(youraccount .tumblr.com', 'xrateduniversity.com' ));
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="https://xrateduniversity.com">NEW URL: OLDURL is now NEWURL</a>
</body>
</html>

I've kept quiet about this, not giving away secrets to the competition. But you asked, and it's a valid question.

I had a page there for FetishArtist of course. I kinda liked the platform. While it didn't know what it wanted to be when it grew up, it was very flexible in that it was like someone merged several social media apps into one.

To be honest, I even liked looking at the shared porn there. ;-p

When the big shake up happened, I walked away from my account, just expecting it to be banned.

Last year, I took on The Dungeon Store as a publicity client, and I do offer some social media services as part of publicity work. Somehow Tumblr came back up and I looked into it. My account wasn't banned (a couple pieces flagged, it's fine now). I even signed TDS up for an account.

Bad news first. Yup, porn is banned. Likewise You're gonna have a problem with a search on things like BDSM, fetish, Femdom, bondage. Tumblr is like "oh geeze, I've never heard of those words before."

Worse news, if your campaign is something like a hardcore photo or video with "I'm a horny slut dripping with cum that wants you in her ass now." skip it. You're better off not wasting your time.

But the good news is, I see a thriving crowd of cammers and sex workers who post simple photos, toys, stories, some graphic artwork. It's mostly women, with some transgender, nonbinary, and the occasional het male there.

Growing an organic campaign there is slow, requires some personality, and attention, but Amelia and Forrest could easily do PG campaigns based on their cosplay and gothic content.

I see potential for recruiting, for example, Kink.com could reach out to women there to expand their camming side. Peach could reach out there for their premium social platform. Zuzana could reach out to offer design services and Natalie could reach out to host performer sites.

So there's something to work with, but I'm not sensing waters for whales. Possibly some might pop on on the NFT/cryptobro side of Tumblr, but I don't swim in those waters.

The way I'm doing campaigns there does not typically use live models or porn, bypassing some of the roadblocks for content. Likewise, while my posts don't come up on a search for kink, BDSM, or Femdom, I can still use tags, and Tumblr will still recommend tags like BD/SM, kink education, & BD/SM events. I can still follow those tags, find others, like, reblog their posts, and connect.

So there's potential and it is definitely useful.
