CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!!!

Hello everybody! I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the love for, and enthusiastic participation in, the Les Mis Shipping Showdown so far. It's been incredible to see so many people get on board with my silly little gag and I'm so excited for the tournament to continue playing out

HOWEVER - currently we are lacking in two very important things that only you guys out on the frontlines (on the barricade???) can help with.

1) PROPAGANDA

In 2009, Cheryl Cole dropped her debut solo single and changed lives by reminding us all that we've gotta fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love. I need you all to be more like Cheryl. Don't be discouraged if your OTP is currently losing - and don't become complacent if they're currently winning by a landslide. We're not even halfway through the round of 32 yet, and you - yes YOU 🫵 - can help turn the tides of battle by telling the world, in an easily shareable format, why your preferred Les Amis pair the spare combo deserves to take victory in this noble contest.

Examples of things you could submit as propaganda include: fanart, fanfiction, AMVs, clips or gifs from your favourite screen adaptation or grainy bootleg that prove your blorbos' love, well-researched meta with supporting quotations from the Brick, completely unresearched rants based entirely on vibes, etc.

Ways you can share your propaganda with the world include: appending it in a comment reblog (not whispering in the tags!) of the relevant poll, sending asks to this blog, submitting posts to this blog, or making an original post and tagging it #les mis shipping showdown. (<- please use this specific tag. we're not checking any others. if you just put it in the generic les mis tag or ship tag with no reference to the poll we won't know it's for us)

2) FANART AND/OR EDITS

As much as I loved trawling through Tumblr tags and Google Images (and editing a few really stupid stock photo memes) to find visual references for every ship in the Round of 32, this was a) very time consuming and b) not as collaborative a process as I'd like for a fandom wide enrichment activity, especially for a bracket that's SO chock full of fanon-based shipping.

So, in preparation for future rounds, we would LOVE to receive submissions of fanart and edits for your favourite ship(s) to be used - with credit, of course - in polls.

We are looking for submissions for ANY AND ALL SHIPS INCLUDED IN THE BRACKET, regardless of their popularity, the amount of canonical visual content (like screencaps and production photos), or how likely you think your ship is to make the round of 16. As I've already said, we're only partway through this round and anything can change, plus I have a little surprise planned for the eliminated ships anyway that could still use your artistic contributions ;)

Here's a reminder of the current bracket so that you know which ships we're looking for artwork for:

As a bonus, if you send your art to this blog or tag it as #les mis shipping showdown, it also counts as free propaganda for your ship!

FURTHER RULES FOR FANART & EDITS:

No AI-generated content. Not going to get into the discourse on this one, I just don't want to see it.

No NSFW art, including artistic nudity. This is a theoretically all-ages contest, plus random polls getting flagged as mature will just make sharing that specific match up a complete mare.

Please ensure any art/edits are formatted so that they can be added to the poll as one single photo.

If you prefer to be credited by a different pseudonym to the URL you're using to submit your artwork, please make this clear to us at the time of submission!

Again, if you're posting art with the specific intention of having us use it, make sure you specify that either in the caption or by tagging it #les mis shipping showdown. We won't know it's for us if it just appears with no comment in the general tags!

To keep it simple & avoid any suggestions of favouritism etc., fanart, as long as it abides by the other rules, will be used on a "first seen by mods, first served" basis. We'll make an effort to reshare all art that isn't able to be used in a poll proper either because you got there too late or because your ship got eliminated before we could get round to using it.

Thanks in advance and happy propaganda-ing! 💋

Hey what’s that tumblr-utils to back up your blogs? Is it the extract one in settings?

tumblr-utils, specifically this fork called tumblr-backup (forgot it uses a different name from the main branch... lol... lmao...), is a python script that allows you to back up your blog locally in a way that displays the posts in a readable format.

It allows for a lot of customization, such as including a tag index alongside the dates, incremental backup (so if you back up 1000 posts the first time and then make 100 new posts, you don't have to back up 1100 posts the second time! just the 100 new ones get added on to the old backup!), continuing a failed backup where it left off, saving audio and video backups, only backing up your own posts and excluding all reblogs, etc. there's a full list of options on the github. and, if you're into css, there is a file you can change to set up a proper css layout. i haven't touched it yet, obviously, but if black-on-white text isn't appealing, there's a way to change that!

and it being a python script really isn't as scary as it sounds to anyone who's never used it before -- I hadn't touched it until i found this tool! it's pretty simple to set up. it just might take a bit of figuring out your first time around, and then you can save a text doc of your backup options to just copy-paste into the command line later (i blacked out my blog urls but you can get the gist)!

^ i just copy these into command line one at a time every couple of months, let each one do its thing, and then i'm all set for a while! no more having to download gb after gb of data every time i update my blog, no more having to back up reblogs if all i want are my own posts, no more unorganized mess of a backup! yippee!

How To Sign Up To This Gift Exchange

This exchange does signups on Ao3, to help with matching! (Last year it took us 8 days to do it by hand and that's just not sustainable).

Once you are on Ao3, there are two sections, one for your requests (stuff you’re telling people (and the machine) would be a good gift for you), and one for your offers (stuff you’re telling the machine that you can make as a gift for other people). Here’s how you fill them out.

Requests

First you go to the collection that you want. The all-ages one is here, and if you are opting into NSFW (and are over 18), you can go to the 18+ collection! In the sidebar on the left-hand side of the page there is a button for sign-up form, you can press to be taken to the sign-up form.

That brings you to the first page, which looks like this.

Lots of buttons, but don't worry, it's pretty simple once you get the underlying logic!

Let's say I start with 3rd Life. I know I want to opt into pearl gifts, shadowrot, and platonic desert duo. What will that look like?

So I selected the fandom I wanted (3rd Life) and what types of gifts that I was open to. And then I selected the relationships that I'd like as a gift! I could match on any one of these, my gifter might have offered only one relationship in this fandom— but we match on one, so they know which relationship to focus on! And each of those tags is formatted a little differently— the desert duo one the names are connected with a & (so that means i'll get something platonic), the shadowrot one the names are connected with / (so that means I'll get something shippy if my gifter chooses to write that relationship), and the pearl tag is Solo, so that means I could get anything as long as pearl is still the focus! So I have to specify later if I'm okay with shipping or not, or any relationships I don't want.

Additional tags is telling people what kind of holidays I'm open to in my gift— not everybody celebrates the same holidays! For this one I don't want any holidays, so I selected no holidays. And then archive warnings is telling people if I'm okay with archive warnings in my gift— because it's 3rd life I'm okay with graphic depictions of violence, or I'm also okay with no archive warnings in my gift at all! Note that if you select archive warnings that just means you're opting into them as an option, not that your recipient HAS to give them to you. And then we get down to the free text box, where I give my gifter a little more idea of how to make a gift that I'd like. We start with my tumblr, because my gifter has to know how to give me my gift on tumblr eventually! And then a list of likes, stuff to give my gifter some ideas. Mods ask that you include at least a couple likes, and/or some prompts, or link a letter in that letter text box.

What's a letter? Ao3 has a text limit of 5 thousand characters in that box, and sometimes people exceed it because they have detailed prompts— especially if they're requesting lots of different ships as options! You also can't do any formatting unless you code it in HTML. So, if you are running out of space on Ao3, you can write the information for your gifter offsite, on Dreamwidth or Google Docs or a tumblr post! Here is an example from another exchange of what a letter can look like.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are linking a google doc letter, make sure that you are not using an account that has your real name in it. Make a fandom email for it, or host the letter somewhere like tumblr or dreamwidth, where your real identity will not be connected to your fandom identity. And if you link a tumblr, don't change your blog URL or the letter will disappear for people!

Anyways, I'm not doing a letter cause I'm just doing a quick and dirty signup, so I just did some likes and my DNW! You can also add specific prompts if you want (and it's nice for your gifter if you do) but it's not required!

What is a DNW? DNW stands for Do Not Want, and it's anything (anything) that would ruin a gift for you. You can DNW certain characters, crossovers, types of aus, types of content, specific ways of writing or art, quotes from specific people if you're requesting web weaves, specific music if you're okay with playlists, types of endings, specific sounds if you're requesting podfic— the list goes on. I did a short DNW there to make it all fit within the screen, but my normal one is quite long. There will be a thread in the discord where people can compare DNWs to see if there's anything you want to add to yours.

The rule is that as long as you are polite (nothing like "no kid fic because it's creepy to age down characters") and specific (nothing like "no kinks", because that is too broad and subjective of a category for people to try and navigate) and you don't box your gifter into a specific gift (nothing like "nothing that isn't canon compliant fic specifically about the fairy fort burning") then you're good to go! Because I selected a Solo tag I specifically have to tell my gifter if I'm okay with shipping and which ships, so there's a line there about that. You do need to either put down a DNW or say DNW: no restrictions, so that your recipient knows that everything is on the table.

Please make sure that your DNW and your letter link (if you're using a letter) is included on every fandom box. This is for two reasons. 1) we need to make sure your DNW is in a format that locks once it gets sent to your gifter, not somewhere you could still edit it, like tumblr. 2) There is an option to separate up requests by fandom for people who are looking for extra gifts to give, and that means someone might see only one fandom of your request before giving you something. You need to make sure that anyone who sees just one fandom of your request still has all the information necessary to make a gift.

Note: If you are signing up to the 18+ collections, it's a very good idea to include specific NSFW likes and NSFW DNW because people's tastes can vary wildly, and there's nothing worse than someone carefully making you a gift that's exactly the wrong type of thing for you because are into different things. Give your gifter something to work with and a direction to head in!

And then there's the optional tags box. This is for extra holidays! The additional tags are how you tell someone what holidays you're good to have in your gift, and it only allows you to select 20 at once. But if you wanted to select more holidays than that, you can put them down in the optional tags box! Or you can select any additional tags and just do every holiday at once.

And technically, that's three relationships, so I could call it done there! That's the minimum to request, I'm done. But what if I like other fandoms too? How do I add them? Well. There is a button for that.

In that case, I can hit this button, and it brings me up another request box, and I can do this all over again with another fandom! You can go up to 10 fandoms, with a maximum of 20 tags for each.

But what if you really really REALLY like rats smp and there are 30 tags in the tag set and you want them all?

Two options. One is that instead of putting in relationship tags one by one, you hit the any relationship button.

That will match you to any relationship in the tag set. That doesn't mean any tag on Ao3, but it does mean any tag that's been nominated into the tag set, and we keep the tag nominations open so people can get in their last-minute ships. If you select this one, keep an eye on the tag set to make sure that nobody nominates something that's a hard no for you.

Option two is that you hit the button for another request, and then you just do Rats SMP again, with different tags! You can request the same fandom more than once, with different tags— so you can do a request for your shippy tags and one for your platonic ones, or one for your family tags and one for your non-family ones, or one for desert duo and one for convex, or any other way you want to split it up! As long as you go over the minimum of three relationships requested, you've filled out a valid request! Request ten different fandoms or the same one ten times— it'll work.

Offers

And then we scroll down a little bit to the offers page. Let's take a look at it!

So this is telling the machine the type of gift you are open to making, and making sure you're matchable to someone else's request that will look like the one we just did. You've gotta give the machine the information in a way it'll understand so it can whirr away and give you a match to someone who requested the type of stuff you like to make. So how is this done? I did 3rd life again for the fandom, and the type of gift I can make is fic, so I selected fic for the gift type.

I only need a minimum of three relationships for the relationships, but there's more stuff that'll write than I wanted as a gift, so I have a bunch of relationships in there! I could match on any one of them, so I make sure to offer just relationships I'm confident I can write. Like with the requests, / means a romantic (or sexual, if you are in the 18+ collection) relationship, and & means platonic. Solo: means I can bring any relationships I want into the fic as long as the focus is on the person in the tag and my recipient hasn't DNWed those characters.

When it comes to holidays I COULD go down the list and select everything, but it's easier to just select any additional tag, and that'll make sure I'm matchable no matter what holidays someone selects! I figure that I can do my research on different holidays, and maybe ask for a beta reader to help out if I match on a holiday I'm not used to!

On archive warnings I select no archive warnings apply and graphic depictions of violence, and that means I'm matchable to people who selected either one of those.

And Optional tags is for overflow holidays, but I already selected any holidays, so I'm good to go! This is a complete signup! I can submit it now!

But what if I want to offer other fandoms too? There's rats SMP, there's Hermitcraft, I'm still a DSMP fan—

You can add up to ten fandoms, and same as with requests, you can go up to either 20 tags or "any tag (in the tag set)" for each fandom.

And then you scroll down to the bottom and hit submit, and that's it, you're officially signed up!

Editing and etc

You can go back and edit and tweak your signup any time you want until signups close— remove ships, add them, add prompts, edit your DNW— it's all editable until midnight EST on the 17th of November, when signups close and lock for us to run matching on.

The matching requires:

1 match on fandom

1 match on character (gift type)

1 match on relationship

1 match on additional tags (holidays)

1 match on warnings

So you will be assigned to someone where you have at least one tag in common in all of those categories— a fandom you selected, a gift type you can make, a relationship you said you can do, a holiday you opted into, and a level of archive warnings you said you were good with. The system tries to match you with more tags, but sometimes there are edge cases and you only match on one tag. No matter what is on your recipient's signup, you only have to make one gift, and you only have to make a gift with the tags you signed up with— if someone requested major character death and no warnings apply and you offered no warnings apply, you just can focus in on no warnings apply. Your requests are public, so that people can give bonus gifts if they want to and so that we can pinch-hit your requests if necessary (and so your recipient can see what you requested), but your offers are private (only the mods see them). Make sure you only request things which you are okay having public, or speak to the mods about setting up a sock account.

Signing up gives mods access to your Ao3 email (it's how we send you your assignment), so make sure the email attached to your AO3 account is one that a) you check regularly, and b) are comfortable with exchange mods seeing. You can verify your email here: archiveofourown.org/users/[your ao3 name here]/change_email If for some reason we can’t find a way to give you an assignment (say you only offered ships that nobody was requesting), mods will ask you to make more offers until we can give you an assignment. If we can't give you an assignment— there's nobody in the whole exchange you could make a gift for— you will not be able to continue in the exchange. If we can’t assign you to someone (either you are requesting things nobody offered or the matching just didn't work out to cover you), you will be an initial pinch hit, and someone will opt in to take you on as an extra assignment. Initial pinch hits are normal and expected in an exchange of this size, don't panic if you see yourself as one of them. If there is someone in the exchange that you don’t want to match with (for any reason ranging from "we have each other blocked on tumblr" to "we give each other gifts a lot and we want to give gifts to other people this time"), contact the mods through the ticket system and we’ll hand-adjust the matches. We can only do this before matches go out— if you match to someone you can't create for you'll have to drop your assignment and send it to pinch hits, which we would like to avoid happening if at all possible. Please make sure you send us any Do Not Match requests before signups close!

[broken-risk-assessment-module]

okay I cave. I thought about it too much and now it's a post. this one's for @ilovedthestars and @needlesandnilbogs

risk assessment module's tumblr url is accounting-for-competency and it reblogs parkour and martial arts videos, speed runs, no-hit/perfect boss fights, and fight scene gifsets from media.

in the tags it always manages to notice and appropriately compliment a very specific technique the person is using in order to protect themselves/be safe

occasionally it will also do deep in-depth analysis posts of the choreography of a fight scene from one of murderbot's serials. how the moves would work in reality, how the film translates a real move/technique so its more dramatic and visual appealing, and also the skillset/movie magic behind keeping stunt actors safe.

threat assessment module doesn't have a tumblr but risk assessment sends it links to posts about how to relax, detox its mind, meditate, or plane-shift.

"it's medicinal, y'know. for the stick up your ass."

education module just reblogs interesting facts, but always reblogs them with a reliable source link if the original post doesn't have one. it's favourite facts are about weird alien fauna and space station physics.

risk assessment convinced it to make it's url "pieceofcrap" because that's what Murderbot calls it. it kinda wants to change it to something more "professional" but is also weirdly attached to it, so it won't.

language module's url is too-many-human-words and most of what it reblogs is to do with translations of media. analyses of translations of poetry, books, and manga. meta posts about subtitles. those posts that are just people trying to explain words that don't have direct translations into other languages.

it also really likes those posts that are like... a bunch of curated screenshots of internet posts, famous quotes, and lines from poetry or books or shows, all put together cus they're vaguely about the same thing or attempting to describe the same feeling. it likes how humans find so many ways to say the same thing.

governor module does not have a tumblr but if it DID, it's url would be governor-931625384 or some shit like that. it's blog would be completely empty and uncustomised. the only thing it would use it for is searching for posts that violate tumblr's terms of service or community guidelines and DMing the poster directly to tell them which rules they've violated. it would get reported as a spam bot every time.

procedure module has a tumblr called apparently-a-panic-module that it uses like an actual personal blog, as in it posts it's random thoughts and stuff that it's done that day. also creates polls for the most out of left field stuff, including completely asinine decisions it has to make.

it reblogs how-to posts and recipes. it doesn't matter what they're for, just that they are a step-by-step guide on how to do something. in the tags it critiques the clarity and format.

it's by far the most active on tumblr out of all of them. it gets anon asks (mostly from the other modules) that are like "don't you have anything better to do" and it always just responds "no."

[elizabethminkel]

Hi Elizabeth! Huge fan of The Rec Center, genuinely a delightful thing to get in my inbox and I’m so grateful. One concern, sorry, I wasn’t sure how to go about leaving formatting feedback. With the change from Twitter posts to Bluesky posts being included in the email (which is very cool! I’m down with it!) viewing the email in dark mode on a iPhone just shows a black text box. If that’s just how the formatting works out, no worries, but wanted to mention in case it wasn’t a known issue 🤷‍♀️

Hello! Thanks so much for your kind words about the newsletter. 🥰 Unfortunately this *is* a known issue—another dark-mode user and I went back and forth for a while and I had them screenshot how it looked one week (when I just popped the URL in directly and let it render) vs the next (when I used the full embed code). Neither were good lol, but not as bad as what you're screenshotting!

The only other thing I can think of is screenshotting the posts, but I worry that will diminish accessibility in a different way, since when I've tried that it's made them difficult to read within an email, period. So my next step is to look and see if this is a known issue at Bluesky itself—I'm sure they want their posts to render well in all kinds of emails and this feels like a failing on their end haha.

But also, why I'm publishing this instead of answering privately: if anyone else has any other suggestions, please let me know. We are 100% done with Twitter and short Tumblr posts would also come in via a screenshot method (and are often heavily tagged in a way that makes sense on Tumblr but renders them largely unusable in this context) so figuring out a way all readers can see Bluesky posts would be ideal.

lol ETA: I should have googled before I posted this. It looks like it's known and there's some movement on it, but as recently as yesterday someone was asking why it still wasn't live... (Though unclear to me if this will be responsive to a reader's settings or if the dark v light is something you specify at the start, the latter of which will not solve the problem....)

[rodolfoparras]

got any tips on how to start your own smut blog? I just had a prompt pop into my head today and I lowkey wanna make a blog for nsfw stuff but idk

- 🚁

These are the things I try to stick to when making blogs/ running them:

1. Have a short and sweet url by that I don’t mean that you have to have something unique as your url, I mean just look at mine, but have something that’s short and easy to rmr, try avoiding dashes and numbers.

2. The first thing I do on a new blog is change the default theme on both mobile and desktop. It prevents you from looking like a bot and it makes someone want to follow. Make an about me post that you keep pinned to your blog, include rules and guidelines in the post, even add a masterlist link when you start posting works

3. Before I posted my work I went to check the type of format that sells here.

This is one of the many writers stick to on here

As you can see it shows what pairing it is, the content you’ll come across in the fic and it’s even got a header to make it more eye catching

4. When posting your works make sure to properly tag them so you do reach an audience. Popular/ frequently used tags on here are top male reader, dom male reader, sub male character, bottom male character, sub male reader, bottom male reader, dom male character, top male character, do include them if your work touches upon these themes!

5. Avoid using the word nsfvv. Instead add 18+ in the content warning section or else Tumblr will hide your post from the general audience

6. And lastly post post post, don’t compare your work to anyone else’s as long as you like the fic idea and you throughly enjoyed writing it that’s all that matters

How to Use Tumblr to Improve Website SEO

Key Takeaways

Tumblr has strong domain authority that can boost your website’s SEO

Creating a properly optimized Tumblr profile helps establish brand consistency

Strategic keyword use in tags and posts increases discoverability

Tumblr can generate valuable backlinks to your website

Visual content performs exceptionally well on the platform

Engagement with the Tumblr community amplifies your SEO benefits

Cross-promotion between Tumblr and other platforms maximizes traffic

Regular analysis of metrics helps refine your Tumblr SEO strategy

Why Tumblr Still Matters for SEO

Ever wonder why some websites seem to appear everywhere while yours is stuck on page 10 of Google? The answer might be hiding in an unexpected place — Tumblr. Yep, that platform you probably forgot about is actually a secret SEO weapon that many smart marketers are using to boost their rankings.

Tumblr ain’t just for fandoms and aesthetic blogs anymore. With over 496 million blogs and a domain authority score of 98/100, Tumblr gives your content serious SEO juice. When you post on Tumblr, you’re basically getting a vote of confidence from one of the internet’s most trusted platforms.

What makes Tumblr special? First, it’s got this unique mix of social media and blogging that search engines absolutely love. Each post creates another indexable page that can rank for your keywords. Plus, the reblog feature means your content can spread organically, creating natural backlinks and social signals that tell Google “hey, this stuff is worth looking at!”

The platform also has stayed relevant by adapting to changing user habits. Unlike other platforms that force rigid formats, Tumblr lets you post pretty much anything — from long articles to GIFs, videos to audio clips. This flexibility means you can repurpose your website content in multiple formats, hitting different search intents.

“I started using Tumblr as part of my SEO advantage strategy last year, and my organic traffic increased by 34% in just three months,” says one digital marketer who discovered the platform’s hidden potential.

Setting Up Your Tumblr Profile for SEO Success

Getting started with Tumblr for SEO isn’t complicated, but there’s definitely a right way to do it. First things first — your username and URL structure matter a ton. Don’t go with something random like “coolblogger123.” Instead, choose a username that matches your brand name or includes your main keyword.

Your Tumblr URL should look something like yourbrand.tumblr.com or keyword-focus.tumblr.com. This consistency helps searchers and search engines connect your Tumblr presence with your main website.

Next up is your Tumblr bio. This little section is prime real estate for SEO! Make sure to:

Include your main keywords (but don’t stuff them)

Write naturally about what your brand does

Add your website URL with proper https:// format

Use relevant hashtags that your audience searches for

The bio section also lets you verify your website, which creates that crucial link between your Tumblr and main site. This verification tells search engines that both properties belong to the same entity, passing authority between them.

Now let’s talk about theme customization. The default Tumblr themes are fine, but for maximum SEO benefit, you’ll want to customize:

Title tags for your main page and individual posts

Meta descriptions that include relevant keywords

Proper heading structure (H1, H2, etc.) in your posts

Alt text capabilities for images

Mobile responsiveness (super important for SEO!)

“When I set up my Tumblr, I made sure to include proper schema markup in my custom theme,” notes a content creator who uses AI tools to create semi-automatic newsletters. “It helped search engines understand my content better and improved my rich snippets in search results.”

Don’t forget to connect Google Analytics to your Tumblr! This integration lets you track how visitors find and interact with your Tumblr content, giving you valuable data to refine your strategy.

Creating Content That Ranks: Tumblr Post Optimization

Now for the fun part — creating content that actually ranks. Tumblr’s got this unique vibe that rewards authentic, creative posts while still following SEO best practices. It’s all about finding that sweet spot.

Visual content absolutely DOMINATES on Tumblr. Images, GIFs, and videos get way more engagement than text-only posts. But don’t just throw up random pictures! Here’s how to optimize visual content:

Use descriptive filenames before uploading (keyword-focus-image.jpg)

Add alt text with relevant keywords

Include a caption that naturally incorporates your target phrases

Make sure image dimensions are optimized for both Tumblr and mobile viewing

When creating text posts, you’ve got more flexibility for keyword placement. But remember, Tumblr users hate obvious SEO content that feels robotic. Instead, try:- Opening with an engaging question or statement - Naturally weaving keywords throughout the content - Breaking up text with subheadings (that include secondary keywords) - Using bulleted or numbered lists for scanability - Ending with a call to action that encourages engagement

The secret weapon of Tumblr SEO? Tags. Unlike hashtags on other platforms, Tumblr tags are POWERFUL search tools. You can use up to 30 tags per post, but 10–15 targeted ones usually work better. Mix specific and broad tags, including:

Your brand name

Primary keywords

Related long-tail keywords

Trending topics in your industry

Community tags where your audience hangs out

“I noticed that posts where I used specific long-tail keyword tags consistently outperformed those with only broad tags,” shares an entrepreneur who uses AI content writing techniques to scale their production.

Another unique opportunity on Tumblr is the “Ask” feature. By encouraging questions from followers, you generate user-generated content that often contains natural search phrases people use when looking for information in your niche. These questions and your answers create additional indexable content.

Building a Strong Backlink Strategy Through Tumblr

Backlinks still reign supreme in SEO, and Tumblr is a goldmine for building them. The trick is creating content that naturally attracts links rather than just self-promoting.

Let’s talk about link-worthy content types that perform best on Tumblr:

Original infographics: Visual data is highly shareable and rebloggable. Creating simple infographics about trending topics in your industry can spread like wildfire across Tumblr and beyond.

Resource collections: Curating the best tools, articles, or resources in your niche positions you as an authority. Other blogs and websites often link to these collections as references.

Opinion pieces: Taking a unique stand on industry issues creates discussion and attracts attention from other content creators looking for supporting viewpoints.

Tutorials and guides: Step-by-step instructions with visuals help people solve problems and are frequently linked to as solutions.

When linking back to your main website, don’t just dump links everywhere. Tumblr users (and search engines) can spot spammy linking a mile away. Instead, follow these practices:

Use varied, natural anchor text (not always your exact keyword)

Link contextually within valuable content

Target specific, relevant landing pages on your site

Space out your links across multiple posts

Balance linking to your site with linking to other valuable resources

“I created a content cluster to dominate SEO using Tumblr as one of my supporting platforms,” explains an SEO specialist. “By strategically linking between my main site content pillars and related Tumblr posts, I strengthened the topical authority of both properties.”

Remember that backlinks aren’t just about direct links to your website. When other Tumblr users reblog your content, they’re essentially creating a form of link that passes value. That’s why creating highly shareable content matters just as much as your direct linking strategy.

Growing Your Audience to Amplify SEO Benefits

A Tumblr blog with no followers is like a billboard in the desert — technically visible but not doing much good. Building a genuine following amplifies every SEO benefit by increasing engagement signals that search engines notice.

First, understand that Tumblr has its own unique community culture. Users value authenticity, creativity, and genuine interaction. Unlike LinkedIn or Twitter, overly professional or sales-y content often fails here. Instead, focus on:

Showing personality and a distinctive voice

Sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of your brand

Creating content that sparks emotion or discussion

Participating in platform-specific trends and challenges

The reblogging feature is Tumblr’s secret engagement superpower. When you reblog relevant content from others (adding your own perspective), you:

Get noticed by the original poster and their followers

Demonstrate that you’re an active community member

Create content without starting from scratch

Build relationships with potential collaborators

“I spend about 15 minutes each day just engaging with my Tumblr community,” notes a blogger who uses 6-step content creation processes with AI tools. “That small investment pays huge dividends in terms of follower growth and content distribution.”

Hashtags aren’t just for optimization — they’re for discovery too. Following and participating in relevant hashtag communities connects you with users already interested in your topic. Some strategies include:

Joining hashtag challenges relevant to your niche

Creating weekly themed content using established hashtags

Monitoring hashtags for questions you can answer with helpful content

Using a mix of popular and niche-specific tags

Cross-promotion between platforms creates a traffic multiplier effect. Don’t keep your Tumblr isolated! Integrate it with your broader strategy by:

Sharing your Tumblr posts on other social platforms

Adding Tumblr follow buttons to your website

Including snippets of Tumblr content in your email newsletter

Creating platform-specific content that encourages followers to check out your other channels

Tracking and Measuring Your Tumblr SEO Performance

You can’t improve what you don’t measure. Setting up proper tracking for your Tumblr SEO efforts lets you double down on what’s working and fix what isn’t.

Start with the basics — Google Analytics integration. This gives you insights into:

How much traffic Tumblr sends to your website

Which specific Tumblr posts generate the most referrals

User behavior after arriving from Tumblr (bounce rate, time on site, etc.)

Conversion rates from Tumblr traffic compared to other sources

“After analyzing my Google Analytics data, I realized that visitors from Tumblr spent 43% more time on my site than average visitors,” shares a business owner who focuses on building profitable AI automations.

Beyond basic analytics, track these Tumblr-specific metrics:

Note count: This combined measure of likes, reblogs, and comments shows overall engagement.

Follower growth rate: Sudden changes can indicate content that’s particularly effective (or problematic).

Tag performance: Which tags bring the most views and engagement to your posts?

Peak engagement times: When are your followers most active and responsive?

For more serious SEO analysis, use tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Moz to track:

Backlinks generated through your Tumblr strategy

Keyword rankings for Tumblr-specific content

Domain authority improvements over time

New referring domains attributed to your Tumblr efforts

Create a simple monthly report combining these metrics to spot trends and adjust your strategy. Are certain content types consistently outperforming others? Does Tumblr traffic convert better for specific products or services? Use these insights to refine your approach.

Avoiding Common Tumblr SEO Mistakes

Even experienced marketers make mistakes when using Tumblr for SEO. Let’s look at the most common pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Mistake #1: Over-optimization Just like anywhere else, keyword stuffing and unnatural link placement will hurt more than help. Tumblr users are particularly sensitive to content that feels artificial or manipulative. Instead, focus on creating genuinely valuable posts that naturally incorporate your target keywords.

Mistake #2: Content duplication concerns Simply copy-pasting the exact same content from your website to Tumblr can trigger duplicate content issues. Instead, try:

Rewriting content with a different angle or voice

Creating “teaser” content that links to the full article

Transforming written content into visual formats for Tumblr

Adding Tumblr-exclusive commentary or insights

“I made the mistake of just duplicating my blog posts on Tumblr at first,” admits a content creator who now uses automated content creation strategies. “When I started creating platform-specific versions, my engagement shot up by 67%.”

Mistake #3: Inconsistent branding Your Tumblr should feel like part of your broader brand ecosystem. Inconsistent logos, colors, voice, or messaging confuses users and dilutes SEO benefits. Create style guidelines specific to Tumblr that maintain your core brand identity while adapting to the platform’s unique culture.

Mistake #4: Ignoring mobile optimization Most Tumblr users browse on mobile devices. If your custom theme looks great on desktop but breaks on phones, you’ll lose engagement and SEO value. Test your Tumblr thoroughly on multiple devices, and prioritize mobile experience when making design choices.

Mistake #5: Irregular posting schedule Sporadic activity kills Tumblr momentum. Even if you can’t post daily, establish a consistent schedule that your followers can count on. Use scheduling tools to maintain presence even during busy periods.

Integrating Tumblr Into Your Overall Digital Strategy

Tumblr works best when it’s not isolated but integrated into your broader marketing ecosystem. Let’s explore how to make Tumblr a cohesive part of your digital strategy.

Start by defining Tumblr’s specific role in your content ecosystem:

Is it primarily for reaching new audiences?

For nurturing existing community members?

For highlighting specific products or services?

For establishing thought leadership in your industry?

Based on your goals, create content workflows that leverage Tumblr’s strengths while complementing your other channels. For example:1. Publish in-depth article on main website 2. Create visual summary version for Tumblr 3. Share Tumblr post on Twitter/Facebook 4. Gather questions from Tumblr comments 5. Answer those questions in future website content

This cyclic approach creates a self-reinforcing content ecosystem that maximizes the SEO value of each piece.

“I use Tumblr as part of my content automation tools strategy,” explains a digital marketer. “My team creates core content for our main site, then automatically adapts portions for Tumblr with the right formatting and tags.”

Consider creating platform-specific content series that give followers a reason to check each of your channels. For example, “Behind the Scenes” content might live on Tumblr, while your website hosts more formal case studies on the same projects.

Finally, use Tumblr as a testing ground for content ideas before investing heavily in them. The platform’s quick feedback loop lets you gauge interest in topics, formats, or angles before developing comprehensive website content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tumblr still relevant for SEO?

Yes, Tumblr remains highly relevant for SEO with its strong domain authority (98/100), large active user base, and unique content format that search engines value. The platform continues to provide significant SEO benefits through backlinks, content indexing, and social signals.

How many posts should I publish on Tumblr each week?

Quality matters more than quantity, but consistency is key. For most businesses, 2–4 posts per week strikes a good balance between maintaining presence and ensuring content quality. Analyze your engagement metrics to find your optimal posting frequency.

Can I just repost my website blog content on Tumblr?

It’s better to adapt your content for Tumblr rather than directly duplicating it. This prevents potential duplicate content issues and creates a better user experience. Reformat your content with more visuals, different headings, and platform-appropriate voice.

How long should my Tumblr posts be for optimal SEO?

Tumblr accommodates diverse content lengths, but most successful posts fall into two categories: short-form visual content with 50–100 word captions or longer text posts of 300–700 words. Include your target keywords naturally regardless of length.

How do I measure the SEO impact of my Tumblr strategy?

Track referral traffic from Tumblr to your website, backlink acquisition, keyword ranking improvements, and engagement metrics on Tumblr itself. Use Google Analytics for traffic data and SEO tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush for backlink and keyword analysis.

Should I create multiple Tumblr blogs for different keywords or topics?

For most businesses, maintaining a single, strong Tumblr presence is more effective than diluting efforts across multiple blogs. If you have distinctly different business divisions or target audiences, separate blogs might make sense, but ensure each receives adequate attention.

What’s the best way to include links back to my website?

Include links contextually within valuable content, vary your anchor text naturally, and don’t overlink. Aim for 1–2 links per post maximum, and make sure they lead to highly relevant pages on your website that truly extend the value of your Tumblr content.

How important are tags for Tumblr SEO?

Tags are extremely important on Tumblr, serving both as internal search tools and SEO signals. Use 10–15 relevant tags per post, including a mix of broad keywords and specific long-tail phrases. Research popular tags in your niche for better discoverability.

welcome to the house md tournament

wherein we will collectively decide which house episode is the best, the cream of the vicodin crop. my overriding philosophy for this tournament is to provide entertainment, even where that might conflict with collecting the "most accurate" data. this is tumblr, not a peer-reviewed study. we can't always get what we want, but i try sometimes to get you what you need

tournament status:

preliminary polls and bracket are being designed. keep an eye out for polls that will help me design the brackets and polls in a way that makes most people happy

polls:

polls will last 1 week and the winner will move onto the next round. any poll that registers a 50/50 tie will be broken by me at my own discretion, because i deserve a little treat once in a while

live polls and results will be linked in this post while the tournament is ongoing

propaganda:

submit propaganda for any episode, any time, through this form right here. to keep posts succinct, i may trim or omit submissions at my discretion, especially if many people have submitted propaganda for an episode. depending on the amount of work involved, for episodes with a lot of propaganda, i may rotate out what's included with each poll that episode survives, or omit it altogether in certain polls to keep things as neutral as possible. i'm making this shit up as i go

i will not rb propaganda -- personally when i'm following polls, i don't want to see it. this might change towards the end of the tournament, but for now i don't want to clutter dashes too much.

be civil to the other human beings around you in my notes. criticizing an episode you don't like is fine, but keep it classy

tagging system:

i will do my absolute best to keep non-poll nonsense to a minimum. you're welcome to send in comments, questions, etc, but know that i may not answer them all (if anonymous) to avoid clogging dashboards.

polls will be tagged with:

#poll

#round [x]

the episode in the format of "season.episode - episode title"

i don't want to clog the main house tag so i will not tag every poll with #house md, though i may sporadically main tag one or two polls per round, especially toward the end

#housetournament

i don't see myself creating any posts on this blog that are not strictly related to the running of this poll, but if i do i'll use #not tournament related. every post that isn't specifically a tournament poll will be tagged #admin. i will tag non-anon published asks with the sender's url (dashes converted to spaces).

this post will be updated as i continue to get my shit together. please be patient while i do this

[rpclefairy]

hi !! this might be an embarrassing, noob-y type question but i was wondering how one would link a specific tag/or create a tag page and link it in a post ?? saw it on a blog and thought it was pretty neat !!

hi there! it's not an embarrassing question at all! there are two parts to answering this though, let me explain.

how one would link a specific tag

the same way you add any link to text! just copy the url to the tag you want to link and then write any text you want to append the hyperlink.

create a tag page and link it in a post

this is where you have two options.

first option: you can add links from text posts. for instance i have often linked to other posts in my previous posts or included links to download pages for my resources. just to give an example, let's say i want to link you here to all the tutorials in my blog, you can click here.

you do this just by selecting the text and adding the link.

you can make a post with a list of links to various tags this way.

the second option: making a separate page is a little more involved and you will have to deal with html coding to some extent, although there are ways to do it very minimally.

the easy way:

open the theme customization panel and scroll down to the bottom of the column where you'll find "add a page" and "advanced options", click on add a page. there you can repeat the same steps as the first option! just write tags, link the url to the text and that's it. you can format and decorate this page the same way you would a text post.

the hard(er) way:

find a custom navigation code, you can search for this specific type of pages here. this is where you need to have a basic grasp on html that i don't think i could provide you with briefly in this post. it's not terribly difficult though, just looking at the code you'll find a lot of it is self-explanatory.

the gist of it is, you'll add a page same as in the easy option but click where it says "standard layout" and change it to "custom layout". there you'll paste the code of your navigation page. it should look like this:

you can customize the code to your liking (colors, fonts, images) and add your links from there.

April is here! And so is spring, officially!

Housekeeping

Current Month in TOA: Red Wolf Moon

Our mission board this season is for the Golden Deer! Take a look at the new tasks here. Don't forget that mission tasks require at least one partner affiliated with the Golden Deer House to take up.

Please remember to delete your thread titles posts after you've saved them to your drafts. Thank you!

RP is a cooperative activity, at its finest when all participating parties are working together. To this end, we'd like to put out a reminder that it is common courtesy to check your prospective partner's pinned post or muse dossier before RPing with them. This helps toward being on the same page when threading together.

As a reminder for April Fool's: - Please tag any posts made for April Fool's with #TOAaprilfools so that they can be differentiated from regular posts and/or blacklisted. April Fool's posts will not count for class mastery or IC requirements for the month - Please do not change your blog's URL. Descriptions and display pictures are OK to change - Please do not RP as another muse. April Fool's jokes are limited to versions of your own muse or objects/animals related to your muse (things that you would ordinarily have free reign to write headcanons about) - Please do not make jokes centered on content that could potentially be offensive. This includes using words from another language or concepts from another culture as a punchline

We also have a new feedback poll for the month of April! Most of these questions are specific to this year’s Battle of the Eagle and Lion. Did you enjoy the 3v3 format? How can it be improved? Let us know!

A Reminder re. Activity

We've been receiving a lot of requests or reserves for second or third muses lately, many of which we've had to turn down. Per TOA rules: " When taking on an additional muse, the mun should also have demonstrated strong levels of activity well past the minimum on existing muses, as well as high engagement with the rest of the group. As a general rule of thumb, over a three month span we expect 6 thread replies a month on one muse if applying for a second muse, and 9 thread replies a month across two muses if applying for a third muse. " The above should be carefully considered so as to avoid disappointment when applying for another muse. If you've a history of poor activity upon being granted an additional muse, requirements may be even more stringent. The key is consistent, continued activity.

Mastering SEO: Tips and Tricks for Online Success

In today's digital age, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has become a cornerstone of online success. Whether you're a small business owner, a content creator, or a marketer, understanding SEO tips and tricks is essential for improving your website's visibility and driving organic traffic. In this article, we'll delve into some expert tips and tricks to help you master SEO and boost your online presence.

Keyword Research and Optimization Start by conducting thorough keyword research to identify the terms and phrases your target audience is searching for. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, or Ahrefs to discover relevant keywords with decent search volumes and low competition. Incorporate these keywords strategically into your website's content, including titles, headings, meta descriptions, and throughout the body text. However, avoid keyword stuffing, as it can negatively impact user experience and lead to penalties from search engines.

Create High-Quality, Relevant Content Focus on creating valuable, engaging, and informative content that addresses your audience's needs and interests. Use a variety of content formats such as articles, videos, infographics, podcasts, and interactive elements to cater to different preferences. Regularly update your content to ensure it remains fresh and relevant, as search engines favor recent and up-to-date information.

Optimize Website Structure and Navigation Ensure your website has a clear and intuitive structure that allows both users and search engines to navigate easily. Use descriptive and SEO-friendly URLs, organize content into categories and subcategories, and implement breadcrumbs for enhanced navigation. Optimize your website's loading speed by compressing images, using caching techniques, and minimizing unnecessary scripts and plugins.

Mobile-Friendly Design With the increasing use of mobile devices, having a mobile-friendly website is crucial for SEO success. Use responsive design principles to ensure your website looks and functions seamlessly across various screen sizes and devices. Test your website's mobile-friendliness using Google's Mobile-Friendly Test tool and make necessary optimizations.

Optimize Meta Tags and Descriptions Craft compelling and descriptive meta titles and meta descriptions that accurately represent your content and entice users to click. Include relevant keywords naturally in your meta tags but avoid over-optimization. Use schema markup to provide additional context to search engines and improve the visibility of rich snippets in search results.

Earn Quality Backlinks Focus on earning high-quality backlinks from reputable and relevant websites in your industry or niche. Create shareable content that naturally attracts backlinks, such as comprehensive guides, case studies, original research, or unique insights. Participate in guest blogging, collaborate with influencers, and leverage social media platforms to amplify your content and attract backlinks organically.

Monitor and Analyze Performance Use tools like Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and third-party SEO platforms to track your website's performance, traffic sources, keyword rankings, and user behavior. Analyze data regularly to identify areas for improvement, capitalize on successful strategies, and adapt to algorithm changes and market trends.

Stay Updated and Adapt

SEO is constantly evolving, with search engines updating their algorithms and ranking factors regularly. Stay informed about industry trends, algorithm updates, and best practices through reputable SEO blogs, forums, webinars, and conferences. Continuously adapt your SEO strategies and tactics to align with current best practices and ensure long-term success.

By implementing these SEO tips and tricks, you can enhance your website's visibility, attract more organic traffic, and ultimately achieve your online goals. Remember that SEO is an ongoing process that requires dedication, monitoring, and adaptation, but the rewards in terms of improved search rankings and increased visibility are well worth the effort.

Tags / Navigation

updated my tags yesterday, so here's an up-to-date list of everything for easier navigation or easier means of blocking ones you don't want to see. as you can see by anything marked "tbd" or "tbt", many of these are subject to change. i'll keep this updated as i think of cool tags - it's just a slow process because i suck at it. c:

✦ TRIGGERS are tagged as #tw: trigger (no fancy symbols). examples include: #tw: long post, #tw: blood, #tw: gore, #tw: surgery, #tw: teeth, #tw: death, #tw: mention of death, #tw: dark thoughts, #tw: alcohol, #tw: pregnancy, #tw: suggestive.

these are the most common/likely/recurring ones on this blog, but i am more than happy to tag additional triggers as needed.

✦ SPICY CONTENT (NSFW) is tagged as #✦ — 𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐰 | spicy. as a reminder, mun is 25+ and there is a decent amount of spicy present on this blog. minors dni.

✦ SPOILERS: at the moment, i only tag spoilers for anything in the current manga arc (#✦ — 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬. | egghead.) and the law novel (#✦ — 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬. | law novel.) i do not mind tagging additional arcs as needed but am bad about doing them by default, so please reach out if i need to be mindful of something.

OOC TAGS:

#✦ — 𝐨𝐨𝐜. | psa. -- important things to know about writing with me. hiatus or activity notices, rp preferences or "do not"s, etc. #✦ — 𝐨𝐨𝐜. | memes 【specify muse!】. -- meme tag! #✦ — 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐮𝐞𝐝. | sleep is overrated. -- queued posts. #✦ — 𝐨𝐨𝐜. | the mun. -- mun stuff. answered munday asks, anything saro. #✦ — 𝐨𝐨𝐜. | promo. -- promos! #✦ — 𝐨𝐨𝐜. | self promo. -- my promo. #✦ — 𝐨𝐨𝐜. | wishlist. -- wanted dynamics, plots, etc. #✦ — 𝐨𝐨𝐜. | misc. -- everything else ooc.

NON-WRITING LAW TAGS:

#✦ — 𝐯𝐢𝐬. | tbt. -- images, GIFs, visage things. #✦ — 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬. | tbt. -- quotes, random law-esque thoughts. #✦ — 𝐡𝐜𝐬. | tbt. -- headcanons. #✦ — 𝐚𝐞𝐬. | tbt. -- aesthetic, law vibes. #✦ — 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲. | tbt. -- dash games & muse quiz type things.

WRITING LAW TAGS: all ic interactions for or with specific muns are tagged with mun's URL (as is). multimuses are additionally tagged #mun | muse (i.e. #piratebento | bellemere).

#✦ — 𝐢𝐜. | threads. #✦ — 𝐢𝐜. | dash com. #✦ — 𝐢𝐜. | crack.

SHIP TAGS: below are the only ones i've posted things of so far, but all will follow the same format if you want to go ahead and blacklist any possible future dynamics.

#✦ — 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 | law x nami. #✦ — 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 | law x robin. #✦ — 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 | law x zoro. #✦ — 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 | law x vivi.

ART OF OTHER CHARACTERS OR DYNAMICS: I may add links to these later, but they'll all follow the same format. If you don't see someone listed you want to blacklist, feel free to message me and I'll let you know how I'm planning on tagging if it ever comes up! Read-more'ing because this is a long list.

#✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | bepo. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | penguin. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | shachi. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | uni. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | clione. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | ikkaku. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | hakugan. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | jean bart. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | heart pirates. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | polar tang. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | monkey d. luffy. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | roronoa zoro. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | nami. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | usopp. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | sanji. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | tony tony chopper. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | nico robin. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | franky. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | brook. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | jinbei. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | sabo. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | eustass kid. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | boa hancock. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | nefertari vivi. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | donquixote rosinante. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | donquixote doflamingo. #✦ — 𝐭𝐛𝐭. | baby 5.

Complete Guide to Rapid URL Indexer's RESTful API for Automated Indexing

Rapid URL Indexer has released comprehensive documentation for its RESTful API, giving developers the tools to automate URL indexing. The API enables programmatic submission of URLs, status monitoring, and detailed reporting through a straightforward interface.

Authentication System

All endpoints in the Rapid URL Indexer API require authentication using an API key, which must be included in the X-API-Key header with each request. This simple but effective authentication method ensures secure access to your account resources.

Core API Endpoints

The API provides five essential endpoints for managing your indexing projects:

GET /api/v1/projects/list: Retrieves all your indexing projects, sorted by creation date (newest first). This endpoint gives you a comprehensive overview of all your projects and their current statuses without having to query each one individually.

POST /api/v1/projects: Creates a new indexing project. You can specify a custom project name and provide an array of URLs to be indexed. The API also offers an optional parameter to receive email notifications when your project status changes.

GET /api/v1/projects/{project_id}: Checks the status of a specific project. The response includes detailed information such as the number of submitted URLs, how many have been processed, and how many were successfully indexed.

GET /api/v1/projects/{project_id}/report: Downloads a detailed CSV report for a specific project, showing the indexing status of each URL you submitted.

GET /api/v1/credits/balance: Checks your current credit balance, helping you manage your account resources effectively.

Project Status Tracking

Rapid URL Indexer's API uses a clear status system to track the progress of your indexing projects:

pending: The project has been created but indexing hasn't started yet

submitted: The project is currently being processed for indexing

completed: All URLs have been processed successfully

failed: The indexing process encountered errors (with automatic credit refund)

refunded: Any URLs not indexed within 14 days result in automatic credit refunds

Robust Error Handling

The API implements standard HTTP status codes to communicate success or failure:

400 Bad Request: The request was malformed or missing required parameters

401 Unauthorized: The API key is missing or invalid

403 Forbidden: The API key is valid but lacks sufficient permissions or credits

404 Not Found: The requested resource doesn't exist

429 Too Many Requests: Rate limit exceeded

500 Internal Server Error: An unexpected server-side error occurred

Each error response includes a descriptive message to help diagnose the issue.

Data Validation Features

Rapid URL Indexer performs automatic validation on all submitted data:

Project names are sanitized to remove special characters and HTML tags

If no project name is provided, a fallback name is generated using an MD5 hash of the submitted URLs

All URLs must start with either "http://" or "https://"

Invalid URLs are automatically filtered out

OpenAPI 3.1 Specification

For developers working with modern API tools, Rapid URL Indexer provides a complete OpenAPI 3.1 specification (formerly known as Swagger). This specification defines all endpoints, request parameters, response schemas, and includes examples for each operation.

The OpenAPI specification makes it easy to:

Generate client libraries in various programming languages

Test the API using tools like Swagger UI or Postman

Understand the expected request and response formats

Implement proper error handling in your applications

Rate Limiting Protection

To ensure service stability and fair usage, API requests are limited to 100 requests per minute per API key. If you exceed this limit, you'll receive a 429 Too Many Requests response and will need to implement appropriate backoff strategies in your code.

Implementation Examples

The documentation includes detailed examples of requests and responses for each endpoint. For instance, when creating a new project, you'll send a JSON payload with your project name and URLs, and receive a response containing the new project ID that you can use for subsequent operations.

Rapid URL Indexer's API is designed with developer experience in mind, offering a clean, intuitive interface for automating URL indexing workflows. Whether you're managing a small website or handling thousands of URLs across multiple domains, this API provides the tools you need to streamline your indexing processes.
