    Is there anyone here who runs AdSense on there site and uses StumbleUpon regularly? Have you had any issues with Google for recieving traffic from StumbleUpon?

    webmasters have no control over stumbleupon users clicking thumbs up for a site they like

    well i heard stumbleupon traffic doesnt convert like DIGG or reddit etc. since 99% of stumblers just keep on stumbling to next site hardly even spend 1 mins or less.

    My opinion stumpleupon traffic is uselss unless you want to make money from CPM ads.

    stumble upon traffic hardly clicks, so it dose not really matters. i have seen that only the search engine traffic gives a few clicks IMO:rolleyes:

    you can not effect stumbleupon traffic. i believe it will not be ap problem but it's better to ask it to adsense

    Yes, stumbleupon traffic is hard to convert for adsense. Search Engine traffic is the best source for adsense income.

    There should be no problem.
    Google only has problems with programs that generate fake impressions such as those so-called traffic sellers.

    It's about making the traffic stay on your site. Unlike many other traffic exchanges, stumbleupon is different as most of their users only use it because they want to look at the best sites on the web and not because they may get traffic in return.

    If you can manage to make this traffic stick on your site then you will be fine. I manage to get around 2 - 3 pageviews on average per unique stumbleupon visitor. I am not saying what site it's on though but the way to do it is to make your site sticky as possible. Entertainment and humor sites seem to do better with stumbleupon traffic.
