With most marketers focused on TikTok and Instagram, is Tumblr still a hidden traffic source for certain niches? Curious if anyone is successfully driving traffic or affiliate sales from it right now

Tumblr was ranking again for few months but it's back to the slump. Not worth the time for affiliate marketing.
 
tumblr remains a highly effective, specialized platform for driving niche traffic in 2026
driven by a resurgence in Gen Z users seeking curated, non-algorithmically driven content
Despite a significant decline in total traffic from its 2018 peak, the platform has
stabilized with roughly 135 to 142 million monthly active users as of 2026.
 
It won't match TikTok's volume, but Tumblr can still generate quality traffic and occasional affiliate conversions.
 
Tumblr can still drive some traffic, but in reality, it's not particularly effective. I think it's better suited for increasing engagement than generating significant traffic. Instead of focusing too much on Tumblr, I'd recommend investing your time in more powerful platforms.
 
I still use Tumblr to drive traffic, and it's been working quite well for me. You can achieve similar results too if you focus on creating high-quality content.
 
I still use Tumblr to drive traffic, and I've found it to be quite effective. You can try running a few content-focused campaigns to attract traffic from Tumblr.
 
I think it still has value, but only for a handful of niches with active communities. I wouldn't use it as a primary traffic source, but as an extra channel alongside platforms with a much larger audience.
 
I think tumblr acts like a micro blogging search engine, so using targeted tags and consistent reblogs can bring long term organic web traffic.
 
It's not as mainstream as Tiktok or Instagram but targeted Tumblr content can still generate consistent organic traffic for the right niche.
 
yep i think Tumblr can still work for some niches and it’s not as big as tiktok or Instagram but the right content can still bring steady traffic and especially for niche audiences.

Tumblr could still work in the right niche but clicks and actual sales are probably a better signal than just counting reblogs.
