    Put this .htaccess file into root domain directory:

    SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent .*stumbleupon* naughty
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
    Deny from env=naughty

    How is StumbleUpon traffic rubbish?
    A single post made in August, got me 700 Stumbles, and more than half of those people are now returning visitors.
    It's a win win situation, unless the content being posted is not worth it.
