Does huge traffic from stumbleUpon contradicts Adsense policies?

    I started using StumbleUpon since last 5 days. And I started getting more than 6000 page views per day. Is stumbleupon viewed as Auto-surf by adsense? Is the traffic ok for my blog? Does it harm my adsense account? Please help..

    Auto surf refers to bot traffic. Stumbleupon traffic is real users so I would say its fine.

    I have been using stumbleupon for years and have never had an adsense related problem with it. If you are that worried just making sure you have Google analytics installed on your blog. This way if Google ever question your traffic you can just let them log into your account and check the visitors for themselves. I once had a different problem with adsense and told them to do the same thing. Once they have checked everything out they just apologized and left it at that :)

    stumbleupon will cause smart pricing in your account (that means you will get low CPC), so stay away from social networking traffic.

    Traffic from stumbleupon hardly click on ads, I don't think it is a problem for adsense. But I have not any sure answer about that.

    I don't see it being a problem either. As long as you don't incentivise o get people to click on your ads you should be fine.

    If you didn't do anything wrong why worry? I don't see a point asking this.

    I've never had trouble with stumbleupon either. But don't use traffic sites like Traffic Swarm. Adsense will have issues with sites like that.

    stumble upon traffic is safe but they will not make you any money. just monitor the traffic and clicks for a few days and you will figure this out
