I thought they did this earlier this year and then retreated on the issue?

Tumblr no longer allows you to UPLOAD porn videos - they don't want to pay the bandwidth bills for free porn. However, you can embed all the porn videos you want.
The other thing you're referring to that happened earlier this year was it appeared they were making it impossible for Tumblr blogs with "more than occasional porn" to be indexed by Google. But then they retreated from that saying it was all a mistake/misunderstanding.
What a trip.
Google naked men :rolleyes:

I have the same trouble with Tumblr, using there video posting option I cannot get most affiliate sites to embed - either using the "embed video" code provided or the link to the MP4file. I have found a loophole though :rolleyes: Create a text message and give it a title, in the comments box click the HTML switch, copy and paste your embed code from your affiliate site, click the HTML switch again to see the result.
Appreciate the tip! ... and welcome to the forum :)
Affiliate links on Tumblr are against the TOS. You risk having all your blogs terminated if they figure out what you're doing. Why spend so much time building something up only to have it taken away?Quote:

I push it with a video player that has a link to the sponsor, but that's another, much longer conversation.
Someone gets it! Thank you! This is one reason (of several) that I have not had a single blog terminated by tumblr.Quote:

And yes, it is a trip when you Google 'naked men'. Tumblr is quite predominant. Which totally contradicts the myth that they don't allow the indexing of adult content. Thankfully :)
I still don't get it? As I don't have my own site, I post pics in Tumblr with links in the comments section that take a viewer straight to the site the pics came from the links obviously include my tracking code so that if someone joins from that action I get credited.
Am I missing something here?
I'd be careful with that. ;) I don't suggest you discussing it in the open in the event someone goes to 'T' about it. Read their Terms of Service.Quote:
