Stumbleupon traffic (with tos agreement) ?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by Kaiser_Dealxa, Jul 5, 2010.

    I start to use Stumpleupon. I am a new user in Stumbleupon and already Google Adsense's user.

    Stumbleupon is beneficial for my site, in two days 2-3k users visit from Stumbleupon. However, I heard that Google thinks Stumbleupon as "auto-surf" site and ban because of tos agreement.

    Is it true? Am I making a mistake with using Stumbleupon?

    I find a related topic in Digitalpoint, but in 2007,

    I can see why it would be considered an auto-surf. But there are also many great sites on StumbleUpon which have adsense and they won't be banned. I don't know :/ you might have to ask in Google's webmaster forums.

    Its is no way against adsense TOS. I had been using it for years. Take care you have traffic not just from stumbleupon.

    It's rubbish. It may be against their TOS it may not, but if it is then any site can get banned as any site can be put into Stumbleupon by random people that is not even associated with that site.

    Just because a site gets traffic from Stumbleupon doesn't mean the owner of the site got in there.

    Don't worry, stumbleupon is safe to use.

    It is absolutely safe to use.
    If it worked that way then people would simply use it to ruin there competition.

    I`ve heard this thing some times ago, but I am 100% sure that Stumbleupon is safe.
    But, traffic from Stumbleupon won`t earn you money. I once got 3.000 visitors in 2 days and no click!

    No idea of any breach of tos so far! However, conversion is always the problem with su visits.

    This is false. It is 100% risk free for Adsense.
