DO NOT take the Tumblr nuke personally. Our blogs where removed "guilty by association" it's not anyone's fault, fully.

As for good content, did you deliver what the person searched for?

If they typed "how to make sausages" and you responded by telling them: "Making sausages is a lot of fun and and you really ought to consider making some! In fact, I just happen to know of this great book you can buy...", then I would call that dodgy content, at best.

BUT

If you responded by giving them a well-liked recipe and some tips on technique, and THEN recommended a book, in passing, that you liked... now you are providing content.

There's nothing wrong with making a plug when you've given someone what they were looking for, just always make sure it is in good taste and in their best interest.

But again, please don't sweat the Tumblr thing. Tumblr was a good service, but there are so many others to choose from, many of which are eager for good content.
