Yes, some people do that. Wasn’t aware of group buy seo tools, but I do know of people who’ve used fiverr to access moz / majestic / ahrefs accounts.
Note: Tumblr lowest PA is 27(1),if its for seo purposes at least for me i won’t go with tumblrs of 35 PA or lower (if you don’t have access to majestic subsciption) , but most of the time i ignore PA and just look at RD(referencing domains),TF(trust flow) and CF(Citation flow). These metrics give a lot more insight on the quality of the web 2.0 than PA.
From my own experience this method is a bit done… most of the expired web 2.0 can’t be reregistered (like Wordpress, have tried many times to get my old wordpress.com sub domain back, its not happening) Tumblr links have a redirect on their links and i am pretty sure from testing that the link juice has been taken out through the redirect, as i could not even rank for the lowest of the lowhanging fruits. You still can use them for ranking them and redirecting the traffic by linking to your site, but as far as linkjuice my testing is pretty clear on that. There is none.
The problem with this method is that it has been all over the place, --forums blogs-- for about a good two, two an a have years now? Everybody and their dogs with their $10- PHP scraper is hunting for them, so the pool you’re fishing in is getting smaller and smaller and web 2.0 sites are taking measures to prevent spammers from registering old properties, like tumblr and wordpress.
Maybe you could find a view, but it isn’t worth the time you spend hunting down these web 2.0 anymore, you can buy them on fiverr or seoclerks for a view bucks, i would not waste any resources on this method of backlinking, you’re better of searching for expired domains, the ones you find are the ones you can keep.
Good luck
I don’t necessarily disagree with you because yes, everyone under the sun has been doing this for a long time. There’s open debate as to whether Tumblr still passes link juice since introducing the redirect (https://www.onlinedimes.com/tumblr-redirect-backlinks/). My experience has been in line with that “report”.
As I mentioned originally, I’ve never had any luck scraping anything other than Tumblr. The others are a lost cause, IMO. One of them - Livejournal, perhaps? - will let you sign up to get a notification when the domain is released, but I’ve never been notified.
What I have been doing of late, which seems to be working well -
- Grab a few expired HA Tumblrs
- Create new web 2.0 properties on Wordpress.com, Blogger, etc. (I highly recommend Flipboard & Medium, BTW)
- Create relevant Twitter, Facebook & Instagram accounts
- Use Social Networks Autoposter to post links & excerpts from my site to these properties.
- Use my sock / throwaway accounts in Massplanner to share, retweet, like - building social signals. I try to do this as randomly as possible to avoid footprints.
- Use either RankerX or FCS Networker to build backlinks to the web 2.0 properties (and my PBN domains in some cases).
- Eventually use GSA SER to spam the RankerX / FCS sites
Point being, scraping anything is simply part of a much larger process.
Best to use new tumblrs with few keyword anchors and blast with good sape links…
Works for me
If someone wants scrap Tumblr and has tight budget there’s a free bot: Expired Tumblr Hunter. It’s very simple, maybe slow but do the job I have used it in past and work fine and no need proxy to work.
Excellent post. There are many website for expired domains . Not sure if scrapebox is better. For other tools fiverr and site like one mentioned.
ADMIN EDIT: stop self promoting with url to sites that have nothing to do with the topic, this is the one and only warning.
There are many sites for scraping expired domains. I have tried serpdrive.com and domcop.com. They are not group buy tools. Scrapebox is good too. I have jumped over 2 group buys for Majestic. One of them is mentioned by you. I don’t like third party downloads whether browsers or anything else. thats y plugin based group buys are more popular - seogroupbuys.com. another one is seogroupbuy.net.
I find the process time consuming. I prefer to buy them. There is a guy ‘mindmaster’ on blackhatworld.com that sells them with PA,TF and already registered.
Can you send the link?
Thanks For your suggestions, it will take many time and much hard work.
Regarding some of the expenses, you can offset them with https://seogroupbuy.org 54 and fiverr gigs for scrape box.
I am one of the first sellers for expired tumblrs for SEO use.
Ever since 2013 there are people thinking that tumblr is not working for seo or that there are no more good expired tumblrs to be found.
As long as seo results you can always check the latest case studies.
About the limited blogs available, you don’t know how to check what blogs are deleted and what blogs are banned by tumblr. Banned blogs will never be made available for re-registration.
There are plenty of guides out there on how to do it. On all you have to adapt and test. It takes time, but most of the work can be automated. Sure the softwares will cost and so the servers and proxies.
On the other hand if the investment in time and money is not justified you can always buy expired tumblr blogs with trust flow. They won’t be as cheap as fiverr shitty tumblrs only with PA. PA is only a reflection of how many links are pointing to a page. PA does not quantify quality and value of the page. Trust Flow is a more accurate metric (for now). I aim for tumblrs with TF+5 and +5 domain backlinks.

For TUMBLR, is this interesting if you are in any other niches besides porn? I only see porn (might have something to do with way im browsing it though
Great guide. My question is what results have you achieved from these Tumblr blogs?
What has been the SEO, Tumblr traffic increase to your money site?
I might not be the best to answer but I gave it my best shot to no prevail, I think it has become quite difficult to do this type of method, been around for quite some time. I would like to learn if anybody is still having success with this and on which platform/niche
