As of today, November 17, 2018, any post with links, any links, even to other tumblr posts, just don’t show up anymore in tumblr’s search engine.
I just found out about it, after I posted a fic with a link to my masterlist and it got little to no notes (it shuldn’t). I was right – the moment I deleted the links, my post magically appeared in the search again. Wow.
Please spread the word to warn the others.
This affects artists who want to cross promote their work, writers who want to link to previous chapters or to a masterlist, and editors who want to link to their YouTube channels, among just a few. This new policy will kill content creators’ ability to spread their work, and for what? A poor attempt to use the algorithm to crack down on porn bots and scammers? Sad.
In the meantime, here’s what I suggest: post your work with no added links, and tell people to check the notes for your masterlist, story navigation, links to ko-fi, patreon, and other social media sites. Make sure you have all those things ready, then paste it into a reblog and have people access them that way. It’s stupid, but it’s a work around we’ll have to use until tumblr gets their act together.
Reblogging again because I need advice on creating masterpost links.
Oh, lovely. I put inks in my posts all the time, to link back to my sources and references.
Wonderful.
With tumblr making it harder for people selling their goods (art, pins, merch, whatever) it’s SO IMPORTANT now that if you see someone on your dash that you want to help, or that needs help, that you now reblog the post while it’s on your dash. With that artist no longer visible in tags they have to rely purely on the people who follow them to spread the word. It’s more important than ever to reblog an artist’s work.
