Is Stumbleupon Traffic Safe for Adsense Earnings

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by galipellisatyanarayana, Jul 2, 2011.

    Dear DP Members,

    I heard that Stumbleupon gives a lot of traffic to our sites and due to this action the bounce rate of our site is high and the average time spend on our site is low at the place(stumbleupon). Now I would like to know that Is stumbleupon traffic safe for adsense earnings? or will I get banned. Should I get earnings from it? or only traffic?

    Please clarify the doubts and give suggessions to start over.

    Thanks in advance.

    I also use sometime. Ya it gives decent traffic, especially USA for a few minutes. So now i don't use it. Is it really improving SEO?
    Is it scam? Because all traffic come form same area.

    Certainly it would come in referrer site as origin of visitors as shown by Google. You should keep it in control as more traffic from referrer site is also not good. Check cpanel and you would get the site of referrer and in Analytics its shown under unorganic traffic.

    Thanks for your information learn2earn. Yes. It shows under referring section in analytics. I would like to know that this traffic is safe for adsense earnings or not? Becuase I seen in some websites news that some are earning a decent income using the same area. Can we to use the same? Is it safe? Please clarify the same.

    Id say its not that safe, a decent percentage of ur traffic can less than 50% will be safe for adsense earnings... Google trusts its search engine traffic the most, so get SEO-ing if u want ur account safe.

    I use it but I don't know who's who when it comes to the adsense I earned from it. I think its 100 percent safe because c'mon its just a book marking site right.? :)

    The traffic from stumbleupon is safe but the conversion percentage in terms of adsense dollars is very less because of the less targeted nature. It is the organic traffic (traffic from search engines) that work wonders...

    Social media is known for generating traffic with low conversion rates. The web surfers are just there for entertainment, not to purchase, but that doesn't mean an adsense advertisement won't catch their eye and direct them onwards

    I think it's safe as long as the IP from those traffic are different.

    Somebody (a pro) mentioned a few months ago in this forum that he gets millions of hits from Stumbleupon and its working well for him. So there you go.

    I think the better question is... does stumbleupon traffic click on ads? I think the answer to that question is NO.

    I got 1800 visits in day from stumbleupon and the earnings for that day were very high compare to other days. Adsense account is still in running stage so it's safe. Try to improve the bounce rate on your website.

    - That is a spike right? anyway Stumble upon has benefits if you use it appropriately. Adsense Earnings will come to you just focus on every possible way to promote your site. Stumble will give you traffic and some adsense earnings and overall it really is very safe. :)

    Yes it is 100% safe but in my opinion the viewers from stumble are really low clicking as they are just viewing the website that was stumbled by someone and everyone's choice may not be same. They just close the windows if its not that really good or funny...

    The probability of ads being click is really low. Though you can try it for you convenience...

    Traffic from stumbleupon is safe for Adsense. Always I have some visitors from there.
