Yahoo kills porn on tumblr - that escalated quickly, lol

BOOM, HEADSHOT!

When Yahoo bought Tumblr, it suggested that its adult and porn blogs would be left alone.

Users found out this wasn't true when a new adult blog search policy went public on Thursday, capping Tumblr's quarantine on adult content, which now also includes excluding adult blogs from Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other search engines.

The changes render an estimated 10% of Tumblr's userbase invisible and unfindable.

Now, around 12 million Tumblr blogs marked "adult" have been removed from Tumblr's internal search; this follows the revelation two months ago that adult blogs were no longer indexed by Google, and the pre-sale removal of Tumblr's "Erotica" category from its category index.

Tumblr's "Erotica" category had been launched in January 2010 with much sex-positive fanfare - it would appear that the days of Tumblr's tolerance are long gone.

The change to its content restrictions came two months after press heard Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer say in May that Tumblrs which aren't "brand safe" - alluding to porn and adult blogs - would be left alone.

HA! I learned in 1996 that paid hosting on your own domain was the way to go

The CEO says porn is OK so long as you're not a "spammy commercial porn site". But stealing and posting thousands of unlicenced, unreferenced, un2257'd photos... that's fine.

That said, I've started a Tumblr to promote my commercial web site Is it spam if I don't use affiliate codes?

On a related note, does anyone use a wordpress plugin to export posts to a tumblr blog? The ones I've found are deprecated.

We tried that and got banned the next day. Tumblr has some feeds tools we used them and got banned as well. wp blog was fairly commercial.
Just our experience. Yours may vary.

Speaking of cybersquatting - some advice please. When I decided on the name "Bright Desire" for my site I was a complete idiot and didn't register brightdesires.com. Someone has, they are an affiliate and they send me traffic. Although he has used my brand without authorization and he is also promoting other sites on that domain. Should I terminate his account and demand he hand over the domain? Or should I be happy that people typing in the wrong thing are at least getting to my site? What to do?

Edit: Now I write that out it seems stupid that I am putting up with it, actually. But I hate that the domain would send people elsewhere.

Cybersquatters will say "leave em alone." Just make sure your TOS for affiliates reflect your attitude towards it. I usually live and let live but this one guy was outrageous about it.

Congrats on your Nom for 2013... You have a great site.
