    As the tilte says , i`m asking about Stumble.com website . This site seems great for traffic porpuse .

    the way stumble works that the members get stumble toole bar installed on their browser and start navigate other people sites inside their browser , it looks like manual surf or Ifram , i Can not esur it , and thats why im asking here .

    Yes it is safe if you are only counting that as traffic because the conversion rate is very poor from social bookmarking sites and your CTR will not be more than 0.5% if your are lucky .

    Targeted traffic is better than stumble traffic. If a person searching for a content in google hits your site will more likely to click the ads rather than the useless stumble traffic (Which is of course good for statistics purpose only!). Get organic traffic that really requires hard work and you can earn more adsense money. Pay for traffic but no more income and most probably you would be banned by google ;)

    stumbleupon traffic is not against adsense policies but the traffic is not that useful. All you get are pageviews but noone click on your adsense. I used to get around 1000 uniques from stumbleupon and my earnings were not effected by those views. But you can get hits to your CPM ads and popup ads from stumbleupon.

    thanks alot for all of you guys , and i see that all of you agreed that Stubles traffic has very low CTR with adsense . that will make try to find another substitution .

    and actually this leads me to ask you about the best traffic network for ppl who runs adsense sites , i tried DIGG , and it does not work good for me

    if you are talking about stumbleupon...then stop using stumbleupon while you are running adsense...stumbleupon traffic will create fraud impression...

    Totally agreed.
    The visitors from social bookmark sites always have no incentive to click ad.

    Traffic from stumble is not good at all, as not many people will click on your ads.

    Stumble traffic do not convert much.

    How come this stumble upon site was worth more than 200 million dollars when it was bought from the founder? I read it in Newsweek.
