    hi .. i discovered a new way to boost ur traffic site .. by the StumbleUpon .. but the big Q is !!! is that ok to have traffic to ur site through StumbleUpon according to google TOS !! is this against the agreement of google ?

    because i think that the traffic will be random and the users are low quality !
    and they wont have a real interst at ur site !!

    It has nothing to do with google TOS, except you will get very few clicks on your adsense from SU visitors.

    Good luck!

    Google won't ban you for this.

    But SU traffic is usually useless, unless you have CPM ads.

    StumbleUpon traffic is completely OK with Google AdSense.
    Keep in mind StumbleUpon's users are not exactly lame, so you won't get many clicks.

    Google have already banned you several times so I'm not sure why you are concerned this time. What will happen is your account will be reviewed prior to first payment and the ban button will be applied again, without payment.

    Stumbleupon will definitely bring you the traffic but the visitors will stay at your site only for a few seconds unless your site is exceptionally good. They are least likely to click any ads. The better option is to get more targeted and organic traffic which is more worthy even if the uniques are less.
    If automated programs are used to bring stumble traffic, google will ban you for sure. Tread carefully :)

    yeah google will not ban you but you will get very low CTR. If you use CPM ads then it is good

    Traffic for stumbleupon is not against adsense TOS. When it comes to CTR, it definitely is higher than digg and propeller traffic. Stumble Upon has worked very well for me in the past. I recommend tribal fusion / casale media ads along with adsense to boost revenue from Stumble Upon traffic.

    Stumbleupon traffic is ok, but this traffic is not gonna help you earn more. This traffic will be like automated traffic.

    SU traffic is useful for boosting impressions but terrible for conversions.
    I had about 1000 visits from SU and no clicks!

    Bear in mind that Stumbleupon users are a specific demographic. The topic of your website should appeal to the type of users that use SU - techy, videos, jokes etc.

    Stumbleupon traffic is great for newbies but eventually you would cry once when you get smartpriced by that useless traffic.

    Hmmm... I found that the traffic from Stumbleupon didn't reflect on my AdSense income at all, but negatively affected my PR. Does anyone have similar experience?
