its not made for you to turn profit on, adding free porn pics does not add anything to their ecosystem, if people just wanted gobs of free porn they can go to the tubes.

its not really a surprise at all they are killing these types of accounts, after all, they are in fact SPAM from the ground up. you are only there to try and turn a profit, not to add to their website like real regular users are. how hard is that to comprehend? writing posts of original content with no other purpose then to generate profit, is still spamming.

The whole account. I had a couple other blogs on it without any Aff marketing and they got shut down too.

Most of what Tumblr has is stolen content or at the very least content posted without permission. The 'regular users' as you put it do all that plus enjoy what we marketers provide.

And yes we do it for profit. But Tumblr profits from our efforts too.

This is true for the majority but not everyone using it is just putting up unoriginal porn pics and trying to make a dime from it. You have some people who own the content or are otherwise the content creators putting up original content.

People using Tumblr seem to be more looking for pictures and often higher quality stuff with an interesting spin to it. So just going to the tubes doesn't really cut it for some of these visitors and it isn't the same.

A nice Tumblr is like a nice blog. The real value provided is in the discretion/editorial skills of the blogger. Very different from a splog.

Yeah I think maybe not showing nudity might be the way to go. I see that my old Blogger blogs are still online despite being full of affilate links, probably because I kept them softcore and nonnude. I've also noticed some sponsors "toning down" the images that they post on Tumblr.

I just saw this thread and if anyone wants, I have created a service that you can add your tumblr blogs to and it'll keep track of them and flag the ones that have been deleted for you.

Any other tools you guys would like, go ahead and let me know and I'll build stuff.

I just don't think it's true to flatly state that everything that's free adds value, and everything that isn't free adds no value at all.

In the niche I'm promoting, mosst of the "free" content is crappy amateur pics and stupid-looking gifs. If I was a surfer looking for this niche, I would absolutely want to see the content that I'm posting, regardless of whether or not it comes from sponsors. Not all my posts are "paid" content anyway, I do post free content that doesn't link out to anything.

I love tumblr. as long as you don't spam their network (reblogging gets you banned asap but can get ok volumes).

and stringing superawesomepornsite.com > tumblr > twitter is always nice :thumbsup

Actually I found that most blogs who simply reblog are usually safe from the ban hammer.
