I have an old Tumblr account. I am wondering if I should use it as a source of traffic for my HP traffic. Does anyone use Tumblr?
I wouldn't bother. I found the effort I put into my account wasn't worth it. Besides, a lot of the accounts there are low quality, spam, etc.
I actually forgot about my account. I haven't done much with it. I won't do much with it. Thanks for the feedback.
I have a Tumblr but I only occasionally post links to my Hubs on it, I mainly use it to share random rock 'n roll/movie related junk.
To be honest I don't think I've ever seen a single view from Tumblr show up in my "traffic sources" list.
...and porn. Lots and LOTS of porn.
Imagine my surprise the first time I got a notification that someone with a name like "SuzieCamGirlXXX" was now "following" me on Tumblr and I absent-mindedly clicked the link to look at "her" profile, haha. Thank goodness my wife wasn't looking over my shoulder.
I learned how to "block" people really quick.
Sounds like a low-grade Twitter. Ha-Ha. (I won't tell your wife.)
I tried, but like a lot of these bookmarking/social media sites, they produce practically no traffic.
Personally, I find Pinterest is the only source that produces a reasonable amount of traffic.
I have found Pinterest is fruitful. I have never heard these sites called "bookmarking/social media." How do they differ from Pinterest?
According to Wikipedia, Tumblr is a "microblogging and social networking website". But you can just share standalone URLs to a webpage also, including a photo. Stumbleupon and Digg are probably better examples of social bookmarking sites, solely for posting links to pages.
Thank you for the clarification. It reminds me when Tumblr arrived at the scene. "Microblogging" was a new rage. I was assigned to cover it. Celebrities and such were creating their websites there. That was some time ago.

Just wanted to share this. Someone pinned or "flipped" one of my hubs on Flipboard, a magazine site. So I've had a ton of traffic all morning. I made my own magazine and the traffic magnified even more! (currently 16 visits per minute). Might be worth looking into as an alternative...

I started a Tumblr account in hopes that it would help bring more traffic to my hubs... I write a short paragraph about a hub and then link to it... Hubs I share are on different topics of course. Since I do a lot of recipe/cooking related hubs I was wondering if it is a good to have a separate...

I started a Pinterest account about two years ago. I pinned some of my hubs, without much hope of getting anything out of it. Now Pinterest is running a close second to Google in my traffic sources. Have you tried Pinterest, and have you had success with it?
