Just judging from volume, many webmasters are using Tumblr to augment their own standalone sites/forum marketing/chat marketing and other offsite-based marketing channels. Looks like your activities haven't gone unnoticed by the bloggerati. Interesting analysis regarding traffic sustainability.

But the obvious prevalence of Tumblr smut, combined with the company's public ambivalence about it, means Tumblr's traffic is not as sustainable as, say, Wikipedia's. It's not hard to imagine Tumblr cracking down on adult content to appease advertisers; it would hardly be the startup's first controversial or heavy handed content intervention. If Tumblr were to begin evicting porn, Richard Branson, Greylock Partners and the other VCs behind Tumblr's latest funding round would find the company's numbers had become suddenly less impressive.
