Is Stumbleupon Traffic against Adsense Rules?

    Hi DPers. I have heard that traffic coming from Stumbleupon was against Adsense TOS. This doesn't make any sense to me. I have looked around and can't find anything that confirms this. Does anyone know if this is true or just a myth??

    Thanks for your reply, but your confusing me.
    You state "no, it against Adsense TOS."
    Then you say " so its ok."

    Anyone know if SU traffic is safe or not>>??

    SU traffic is safe.. It is a social networking type site that brings visitors that are interested in a page (or pages) on your site..

    the only bad thing is that Stumblers dont click ads.. eCPM from SU traffic is very low..

    Stumble traffic as such is not against adsense tos
    But how will that traffic help you, if they dont click ads
    that is my personal experience, if you end up in the featured site category and lands at the homepage of SU, you might get loads of visitors but none clicks the ads - IMO

    It would be crazy if it was, since for the most part if your site is good, someone ELSE will stumble it. So you would be penalized for someone elses submission, something google usually tries to avoid if it can.

    Its ok with adsense.. but they have horrible CTR, thus lowering your eCPM.

    It's safe. They don't click on Adsense ads. They know they are there when they see them.

    No...You can't say SU traffic is safe If you are only getting traffic from SU...then you can expect anything bad cause SU traffic will create fraud impression for you...Don't ask about CTR :D

    No, this is not true. StumbleUpon traffic is perfectly fine. :)

    Its absolutely OK to get Stumble traffic but they don't convert well. Anyway, something is better than nothing. If you can increase your traffic through that then do it.
