On: Posterous vs. Tumblr: A Head to Head

I use both, and don't think that will change soon.

Please do you know if it is officially allowed to display ads on tumblr? I saw some tumblr sites with Adsense, but I didn't find in their TOS or Docs that this is permitted. Does anyone know?

They don't aesthetically like the available ad options, so haven't made them available to their users. You shouldn't have a problem doing it yourself.

But that was my question - whether I am allowed to do it. (for example, wordpress.com doesn't allow that).

Update: I've got the answer from their helpdesk that Adsense is allowed.

you can post custom javascript on tumblr. That means you can do pretty much anything you want.
