I suddenly started getting too many hits from Stumble upon

stumbleupon is good to get noticed about your existance... it is a quick service bringing visitors your site. And to be frank when is get stumbled i get more revenues compared to other days on my sites. not dramatic changes though

 

SU is good for one thing and one thing only....TRAFFIC. Back in the day when you use to be able to pull thousands of hits a day from using SU bots the conversions were still trash. However, I do think SU is do follow now so consider that.

 

You can't have "too" much traffic. But the SU traffic is very untargetted and does not convert... ever.

 

SU is not dofollow.

 

I stumbled my new site yesterday and got 274 unique visitors in a day.
Now the traffic from StumbleUpon has gone

 

i guess 99% of the ad networks wont be happy with such kinda traffic.. you better do something abt it. it also eats away bandwidth doin no good to your site

 

SU traffic is crap. I got 800 visitors in 2 days but still $0 earnings in my adsense acct. or maybe i`m just unlucky ?

ps. digg traffic the same

 

yup, that's certainly my experience, getting stumbled increases traffic temporarily, but you don't get the corresponding increase in sales.

 

Usually happens a few days or hours after you submit it. I've had it happen on a few sites I've created. Always worked to help up my userbase a bit.
Just be happy ;P

 

wow lucky for you! ive never had any traffic from stumble. its just kinda exciting to see lots of traffic especially if you are new to blogging. i know that targeted and consistent visitors is what we want. but still, its cool.

 

The problem with stumbleupon and other social networking traffic is that much of it doesn't convert. It's pretty low quality traffic. However, the upside is that often you'll generate more high quality links back to your site from someone who stumbled yours. These high quality links generate small amounts of very qualified traffic that has a high conversion rate...and of course helps your SERPs.

 

So far no leads, no questions from users who visited, the average time of visit was about 30 Sec. so I am not hoping much from those visitors.

 

i submited some of my sites 2 weeks ago and got about 300 to 500 visitors for one day from SU but yesterday something weird had happen i`ve stumbled one of my new sites and got 20500 unique visitors in 30 hrs from SU and today 3900.

 

I stumbled a joke yesterday on my forum, which turned out to go pretty viral. Made my thread 5 stars on Stumble and got me 1000+ hits until the people started pressing thumbs down. Died down now after 3 days.
