Trying Tumblr Again...

Many thanks Almostbr0ke !

Hahaha but you sound like.... Bro, please, stop banging your head against this wall... Please... It's not worth it.
And yeah. You're probably right. And I appreciate your advice.

I still think I can have a bit more fun with Tumblr.

I talked about this in one of the first posts I made in this thread. Tumblr is my playground. I feel comfortable making scripts to automate tumblr. And I will reuse those scripts for other sites.

This thread though, is about Tumblr. If I jump to other sites (that I will at some point) I will create another Journey thread.

So... about Tumblr... This yesterday and today I saw a surge in the traffic. That is directly proportional to the amount of posts I created. I'm being more constistent and can now handle the issues a bit better. With less blockers... Tumblr UA traffic is very, very weird. Probably Fake / Bot traffic. It's all down to statistics... If I keep pushing spam, there's a higher chance any of those visits convert.

I got a new conversion today.
$0.3 is better than nothing right ? yet feels like... Bruh..... The first conversion was nicer $2.43 iirc ( i guess it was a DOI offer ). I'm using Adult Smartlink.

That's a good question.
Because I was literally thinking about that a moment ago.
I've been thinking on creating a pool of accounts, big enough so I can't reach their daily limits, because that would allow me to randomize picking the accounts and just do n posts per account.

Imagine that I have 6000 accounts ok ?
Can I create 250 posts (the daily limit) every day on 6000 accounts ?
That's 1.500.000 posts a day.

At least with my infrastructure this is NOT feasible. I'm on a single IP on my local PC.

For me to consider scaling like this I should have more conversions, being able to withdraw the money and so....
But I would then need to work on creating that infrastructure in the cloud or locally... both of them would cost $ & effort.
I mean... it's not a light task.

So probably not 6000 atm... But I like the idea of creating more accounts and distribute the posts through my pool of accounts....

IMO It all depends on how often they ban me.
If the accounts last longer, we could end seeing kind of an snowball effect... If my posts grow in notes & gain visibility... that could lead to more traffic & conversions.
I'm having the feeling that my accounts are lasting longer now since I got banned a few days ago......
Hmm... Maybe it's an illusion, maybe they mercilessly banwave all my accounts this afternoon...

Who know's, we'll see.

I think I'm dropping the Idea of going with videos... Given their daily limits on videos.
I will either do images (improving the content) or go with links to pages with OpenGraph metadata.
Well, you can still can be on local PC. IF your HW is good enough, just create virtual machine, run VPN on it. and from that run another batch of 30-60 accounts or what ever is the limit you will find for one IP.
 
Hmmm.... One of my accounts...

Often, when banned you can still log into the account and then you can see this message

But it's not the case...
I can't log into the account and it shows the "There's nothing here" message instead.
I guess I'm banned for that account.
And I guess the rest will fall soon...

This is from my checker script...

If I try to log into that account... In the network tab of the dev tools I can see this for the endpoint `/api/v2/user/validate`

JSON:
{
    "meta": {
        "status": 400,
        "msg": "Bad Request"
    },
    "response": {
        "userErrors": [
            {
                "message": "This user already exists!",
                "code": 2
            }
        ],
        "message": "Validation errors",
        "minimumAge": 16,
        "maximumAge": 130
    }
}

¿ ?

I'm gonna try to reset the password to see what happens xD

Edit:
Yep... It's banned. After trying to reset password the "Your account has been terminated" msg

PS: do you think it is worth to share my blogs on tumblr?
I have over 300 sites with 500+ posts. So at this scale it might do something. But I am just not sure if it makes sense to set up so many accounts..
 
Awesome! What happens once might never happen again, but if it happens twice, it's likely to happen more.
Yeah, a basic but important concept / rule.
This is really interesting! Following and good luck
Glad you like it. Thanks for following : )

Honestly, I don't have a clue. I'm quite bad at SEO / LinkBuilding. I think that I would not risk 300 sites... maybe you could first try with... 10 ? nurture it and check how your analytics evolve...
 
I decided that I'm gonna scrape a p0rn site :D Targeting 3052 tags with 1000 galleries x tag (mind many galleries can have repeated tags...) so it's not going to be... 3052x1000=3.052.000 galleries. Every gallery have around 20 pictures... and full metadata !
I'm gonna go fully NSFW... (I mean, hardcore p0rn)
Completely Unafraid of being banned... fck em
The test is worth it.

Don't judge me... I'm well aware this is not normalized, neither following good practices. I'm prototyping, going fast, and it's subject to change.
SQL:
CREATE TABLE gallery (
  id INT GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
  url TEXT UNIQUE,
  pictures TEXT[],
  channel TEXT,
  models TEXT[],
  categories TEXT[],
  tags TEXT[]
);

Can you guys spot where's the error ?

lol :p
 
11/02 without making a single post... (been busy coding the scraper and other IRL things)
No conversion for this day...
1739324092205.png

29 accounts are alive

Regarding the Adult Site Scraper...
Is almost done :D
 
So... unless it runs into unexpected errors while running... the adult site scraper is done
Well, now that i think... If it finds an error it'll skip the gallery and report it... so... I think I can say is done yes...

I made it to operate sequentially (not the best of my ideas)... But it will only scrape tags it haven't scraped yet...

1000 galleries for each tag... 3052 tags, every gallery with multiple pictures...

1739331313488.png

It is CPU efficient, and Memory stable...

1739332157863.png

and It will NOT create duplicates...

I now need to adapt my poster to this new data set...
I'll create a new variant...

My tags are sorted alphabetically... and I'm still in the A+m letter tags...

I'm gonna try the variant of my poster adapted for this...

Hi dude, i am impressed and respect to your hard work. Hope continue and get successful.
 
Hello Mate I Hope Doing Is Well Good Job Mate
Hi dude, i am impressed and respect to your hard work. Hope continue and get successful.
Thank you both

Is not that hard, when it's easy for you...
But I'm a single person... And things takes some time.

I'm proud of what I have done so far... My scripts are now better than my older scripts. I successfully used parallelism, made scrapers. I'm happy with how I'm doing.

I would love to see a new conversion today. At least one...
I would also love to see remnant traffic without having to use the scripts
But at least for now... the traffic is directly proportional to the amount of posts I do.

I want to stop using account in ranges (Limit / Offset) and designate a group index to the accounts.
Because I want to create groups of 20, 30 accounts...
This way I could Fill 30 accounts with posts for a week... then switch to the other 30... and the others could "sleep"
So after some time I could have 30, 60, 120, 150, 600, 760 accounts etc with some posts....

I want to 1st see if they get banned or not...
Then I want to see for how long I can keep them alive....
Then I wanna see if the cummulative effect of having an increased number of accounts makes a difference...

The scraper keeps scraping...

Not a single error yet...
Still in the A+m tags...

Best of luck
In my experience, it has been difficult to achieve success with Tumblr in recent years.
