I think it's somewhat dead. Because personally I have always had a hard time with Tumblr, but lets see if there are affiliates that were able to generate good traffic there.
 
Tumblr can work for affiliate traffic, but you need steady posting and simple content to get people to notice.
 
What's your niche?
I think Tumblr might only be effective for particular niches. From my experience, I've seen minimal traffic coming from there.
 
Tumblr is dead. Maybe the best way is that in the Jetpack "wordpress", there is that share feature. Where it shares the article to tumblr automatically.
I don't know if you get any backlinks. But I use thumblr only for that.

But if you ask this question from ChatGPT . It gives pretty good answer.
-Can you tell the gender of Tumblr users and what kind of people use Tumblr?


So you know, after that is your niche suitable....
 
A few years ago, I used tumblr for links and truffic, I was updating the blogs and was actually getting a bit of traffic from it but then I realised it wasn't worth my while so I stopped updating the blogs. But rarely still use those blogs as parasites.
 
it’s absolutely possible to get solid affiliate traffic from Tumblr by consistently posting high-quality niche content, using relevant tags, creating shareable visuals or mini-guides, and building trust through genuine engagement, and many people have seen success on the platform because Tumblr’s reblog-driven reach can quietly amplify well-crafted posts far beyond your immediate followers.
 
You can get traffic for affiliate marketing on Tumblr by consistently posting helpful niche content, using relevant tags, mixing value posts with soft promotional links, engaging with active communities, and staying authentic, which many creators have used successfully to grow steady affiliate clicks over time.
 
Yes people do get affiliate sales from Tumble but it works best in niches with visuals or fandoms; focus on posting highs quality, keywords optimized content with consistent tags so your posts keep appearing in Tumble search and reblogs.

Post reblog-friendly niche content with strong tags and place affiliate links subtly within helpful posts.
 
Tumblr isn't bringing in as much traffic as it used to. I recommend Reddit and TikTok instead of Tumblr.

try to build a visually appealing, niche-focused blog with high-quality content
(images, GIFs, text) relevant to your audience, use specific hashtags
for discoverability
 
In my opinion, tumblr is just like other blog websites. only if it's on tumblr it's a bit difficult. It's been a long time since I saw tumblr subdomain/blog appear on Google
 
Tumblr traffic is slow but real, I focus on reblogging and joining niche communities, the people who engage usually convert well.
 
I completely agree that building a visually appealing and niche-focused blog on Tumblr is key to attracting affiliate traffic. However, I'd like to add that leveraging Tumblr's unique features, such as GIFs and multimedia content, can also help increase engagement and conversions. Has anyone had success with using Tumblr's "answer" feature to drive traffic to their affiliate links? Additionally, I'm curious to know if anyone has noticed a correlation between Tumblr traffic and conversions, as some users have mentioned that the traffic may be slow but high-quality. Do you think it's worth combining Tumblr with other platforms like Reddit and TikTok to maximize affiliate marketing efforts?
 
Tumblr still works… but it’s more slow burn than instant traffic

– Focus on niches (aesthetic, fandom, quotes) + repost smart
– Soft-sell only (bio link / subtle CTA), don’t spam links
– Viral posts bring spikes, consistency builds traffic

I’ve seen results, but think months, not days
 
It's definitely possible, but success usually comes from patience, quality content, and building trust rather than expecting quick affiliate sales.
 
Build a niche-focused channel and actively engage with relevant communities to increase visibility and interaction. Once your channel offers compelling content and gains attention, you'll have a much better opportunity to share your marketing or affiliate links naturally.
 
Tumblr is slow compared to other platforms. I wouldn't expect quick traffic, but it can bring steady visitors over time.
