Tumblr's Porn-fueled TRAFFIC rise doesn't go unnoticed
 

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.

I have often wondered about the kiddie porn troves on Tumblr, myself.

nice site in your sig ;)

Several of our models use Tumblr to promote themselves as well as to chat with fans. It converts nicely.

Same here and agreed!

Tumblr also allows for some nice hotlink action, encouraging people to use them as a photo dump which then drives even more traffic. They are a VC baby so we'll see how this all plays into the mix....

better to use one of the adult hosts, like thumblogger or one of those..

tumblr is known for closing sites easily at discretion...

Blogger, on the other hand, has gone mellow on the pr0n over the years

true dat... dont get me wrong.. tumblr is a fucking great idea and all, BUT too bad that they close sites very easily..

specially adult sites with sponsor affiliate codes..

Most of the adult sites I see there are very amateur and personal, from people who have no remote interest in doing any money, they just put their pics there and nothing else, no sponsor links.

But every single webmaster I know, incluiding me, that was building a few blogs there to try the service, got them closed with no notice and when you contact them , they tell you to register and open another site there... No way, I wont waste my time and risk to get closed again at discretion.

I never tried it for my mainstream business, only ADULT, so maybe in mainstream they work fine?

of course blogger is not the alternative. I recommend any of these hosts:

thumblogger.com, sensualwriter.com, venusblogger.com

Great experience with all of them since 2007 and since 2009 with the last one.
