Using Tumblr instead of Wordpress
 

Are there any benefits towards using tumblr with your own domains versus setting up a wordpress etc? I've been thinking of doing this but not sure if it's good or bad.

Thoughts?

tumblr can and will shut your website down for whatever the fuck reason...imho no reason to spend time working on something that can be eradicated in a split second

You could treat it as a throw-away site. You could link it through an iframe and put banners on the top portion of the page, and then use it to feed your money sites...

Then even if it disappeared you'd still have gotten something out of it...

I could not agree more. Tumblr is a disaster waiting to happen.

[1] Spend 6 months building a killer site.
[2] Wake up one morning and it's gone forever.
[3] Cuss. A lot.
[4] Wish that you'd chosen a self-hosted solution.

I wish juicy ads wasn't listing tumblr blogs.

Tumblr sites are good...

Just follow the rules.

I wouldn't use it instead of wordpress, but do use it to send traffic to self hosted blogs that the content comes from

I got banned last week. 2nd ban for me. First was using nubiles.com that linked to 2257 on my page. They said i cant use minors. Then they banned me again because tumblr isnt for webhosting or promotion??

Seriously? Not for promotion... but for piracy? That's a pretty interesting stance.

There is no correct way. Except maybe useing it as a feeder. They ban what ever they fill like. One forum post everyone was posting that there account got deleted. Then some people emailed support and got they blog back while others didn't. They all had the same concept on there blog. Seems like they don't even know what is within there terms.

Give me you tumblr url. I bet i can get it shut down very easy. If you have any images that is 18- 21 i could just complain that you have minors and it will be gone. No deleting the infringing images your whole blog will be gone.

I've been meaning to experiment with tumblr, I only have one blog on there but I haven't updated it in ages.

What works well for exgf niche is using keyterms like "tumblr exgirlfriend nude" or "tumblr nude pics" that shit always brings in traffic lol, seems like there's a lot of tumblr porn searches.

Anything that someone else controls is bad news if you are counting on it. Use it, get the traffic, but consider it a throw away traffic source. The black hat guys brag about getting accounts shut down on place like facebook, tumblr, youtube, etc. They even have bots to do the job for them.
