Tumblr seems very community-focused. Are you using it mainly for engagement or actual traffic?

You can get some traffic, but it’s not consistent.

Imo, Tumblr is better for building audience and visibility than real traffic.

it can drive traffic - but its better for com engagement
 
I have not seen much direct traffic from tumblr yet, but it seems like a good place to connect with people who share similar interests.
 
I think Tumblr is good for engagement if you share useful content that your audience enjoys.
 
I think Tumblr is now better suited for building niche content and promoting a brand or personal image. As a result, it’s more effective for engagement than for driving traffic.
 
In my opinion, Tumblr is now better suited for increasing engagement than driving traffic. Generating significant traffic from the platform has become much more challenging.
 
Tumblr can be great for engagement because users tend to interact more with content they find interesting through likes reblogs and comments Traffic is possible too, but it usually depends on the quality of the content and how well it connects with the target audience Overall it seems more effective for building visibility and community before focusing on traffic
 
For me tumblr is more about engagement than traffic
you can still get some clicks from the right niche but it is nowhere near the traffic source it used to be
 
It's stronger for building loyal followers and conversations than for driving large amounts of website traffic.
 
From my experience using Tumblr recently, I've found that it's better suited for building engagement than driving traffic. Getting meaningful website traffic from Tumblr has become much more difficult than it used to be.
 
In my experience, Tumblr is better for generating engagement than driving traffic these days. Content that fits the platform tends to receive strong engagement, while using Tumblr as a traffic source has become much more difficult than it used to be.
 
I think it really depends on what niche you are in. Some topics can bring decent traffic from Tumblr, but I feel the platform is better for connecting with people and building engagement.
 
Tumblr is huge traffic site, You can use tumblr to drive traffic to your site as well but content will be good which create interest of the people regarding that topic and niche should be relevant to topics too.
 
I still use Tumblr, and in my experience, it's a better platform for driving traffic. It can still generate a good amount of traffic, although it's become more difficult than it used to be.
 
Driving traffic from Tumblr has become much more difficult these days. However, if you create content that fits the platform well, you can still generate strong engagement. In my opinion, Tumblr is better suited for boosting engagement than for driving traffic.
