Comments on: StumbleUpon experiment – Low quality traffic

It’s well known that the traffic is low quality and worthless for affiliates or any other type of conversion. SU users will invariably leave your site regardless of the quality of the content because they are not *looking* for anything in particular. They are simply having sites spoon fed to them.

Also, the thing that particularly puzzles me is that although SU is essentially a traffic swapping site, they frequently ban accounts that engage in traffic swapping.

I still have to read up on StumbleUpon and Technorati to make the best use out of them. I’m sure there are ways to make them valuable. Keep trying, and keep searching for answers!

i came from stumble and i stayed and comment on ur blog; i will click in ur ads too but being serious – traffic is good, if u dont need to think about bandwith limitation, there is nothing better and stumble is great tool for it; even if the visitors are just accidental, the probability of getting valuable visitors will always be bigger than with low traffic

While I agree that the quality of visitors from SU is quite low, at least they are visiting… I mean it’s better to have some people reading your posts versus no one. And I think it will start to build branding. Sort of like that McDonald’s commercial you see on television for the 20th time. When people see your site in stumbles multiple times, they start to become more aware of what your blog is about and might even subscribe to it the second or third time around. Can’t look at it as a total loss- any visitor is good for me!

There is one time that my traffic from the stumbleupon is higher than the google. That was a lucky shot i guess. Hope my site will be stumbled again..

Never knew that it can be automatic too.
But SU is good way of getting some traffic. I have some good success with my strong profile

Here’s another good article on Bringing More Traffic from StumbleUpon :-

Many of the visitors are quality for me … and yes some are not too.

my other site theme on entertainment gets good traffic from SU and saw some increment in the earnings from Ads too.
