    Some of mine did on my old blog. It just depends on if what you have catches their attention to keep them on the page long enough. Either that, or a really good looking ad that appeals to them.

    Depends on what kind of site you have. But ads right at the top will guarantee that they will see them. Other than that, its a hit or miss.

    SU traffic is notorious for its low conversion rate. It's pretty much useless traffic, unless you've got a very interesting site.

    There is truth to those word.

    But what other traffic sources would you recommend?

    Something targeted. Why don't you tell us the topic of your site? But, basically, you should buy or get links from sites that have the same or a similar topic.

    SU or any other SB site traffics don;t really convert well. best traffic is from organic search

    Probably because most stumble upon traffics come from bloggers? so they don't normally click on the ads

    It's the nature of these social bookmarking sites.

    These visitors are constantly looking for their next "new" thing.

    It's hard to get their attention unless you have something unusually interesting, controversial, or funny.

    Of course, it depends on the kind of site you have, the niche, and what kind of ads you're showing. But usually, no, they will not click the ads. Social media users are there for entertainment and will move on quickly, usually by hitting the "stumble" button instead of an ad.

    Not enough to make a real difference. Most stumble traffic is just people clicking (stumbling) around, not looking for anything in particular.

    yea i tried SU it was garbage save your money. Plus you can use up 50 dollars in like 3 hours if you let it happen. I think 5 cent is a click is a ripoff considering the type of traffic you getting.
