How to get $ from low quality visitors from StumbleUpon

    Hello everyone, I was reading this message board for some time and finally decided to register and this is my first post.

    I have a website that gets sudden and huge increases of traffic from Stumble Upon, that keeps for several weeks and then sometimes repeats again. But the problem is how to convert this traffic into $. As many have noticed here, those visitors just don't click. But I somehow believe it can be converted into $ too, maybe it's the problem with Ads allocation on my site..

    don't expect much conversions from social networking sites like digg and stmbleupon
    they will think million times clicking another persons ad
    just like me

    I won't try to convert them, neither would I try to get them in the first place. It is just a waste of bandwidth. Going out of the way to convert them may result in an Adsense ban if you are not careful. Really not worth the risk. As you yourself had mentioned "low quality" traffic.

    stumbleupon traffic is totally useless for adsense..You can even get banned from adsense because of fraud impression

    Banned? That would be so stupid. I have google analytics and google can see where is my traffic coming from, stumble upon and digg is just how todays internet works, am I guilty for that traffic? It would be hard to believe that google doesn't know about stumble upon..

    Maybe there are other ways to get $ from such traffic instead of adsense?

    Oh my website is http://villageofjoy.com
    I would be very glad if you guys give me advice on those ad placement..

    I have an Idea! I've registered on Chikita and I'm hoping to get ads that pay for Impressions, not for clicks, thats how I can convert this low quality stumbleUpon traffic..

    And again, can anybody advice on my ad placement?
