Is Stumble upon traffic start to be reduced

Author: midomssh | Files under traffic

There are so many factors which may have an impact on the number of visitors you receive from Stumble Upon.

once you Stumble, you just can’t stop. What’s more, it’s incredibly accessible to the mainstream demographic - while mining the social bookmarking sites for gems takes a lot of work, Stumbling takes no effort .
No. of stumble upon friends you have. this increases the strength of your stumbles also the power user who discover the link

When users stumble, they will only see pages which friends and like-minded stumblers have recommended. More often than not, it’s something almost serendipitously interesting to the reader.

all above most of blogger’s know or let me say power bloggers who know the real effect can stumble upon can make to them traffic. then they start to apply some tactics one of them is stumble exchange then one day traffic gone right?

In matter fact one of my fellow blogger mention this also mention that

  1. A stumble from the same person/IP address, for the same website over and over , will trigger a flag and traffic to this site will reduce significantly up to 90% with time.
  2. Stumble exchanges are increasingly ineffective over time, unless the exchanges are one sided and one party is not getting any back in return.

you can check his post here

In fact the other reasons is normal and so logic but from my own tests i agree with him 100% on the first 2 points i mention above , then i stopped at those reasons and asked myself if i submit my own site allot is that who affect me or if someone found it and thumbing it later what will happened good point

i found both will affect your site traffic because you already flagged so is that mean i don’t stumble my own posts even i found it someone discover it and many people already thumped it up i told my self when i am a honest man this will hurt me it is not wrong to thumb my discover posts i know you don’t discover your own site it is against stumble upon tos but also you have to thump it for yourself so i went to check stumble upon tos again looking for new updates and also another question came in mind what if someone thump up another one site for many time same time to be flagged is that also wrong this make me stop thinking and make me insist to read the tos very carefully and read between lines and found

(( StumbleUpon does not allow personal accounts to be used for the purposes of incentivization or promoting sites. This would be considered a breach of our Terms.

The practice of sending PM’s encouraging or inviting other stumblers to rate/review sites in exchange for reciprocal reviews/ratings, monetary, or any other form of reward is strictly forbidden.

The practice of actively soliciting a rating or review for a site is also forbidden. Should you receive a PM, or encounter forum postings that breach this rule, you are encouraged to report this via feedback.

Accounts participating in such practices will be deleted and banned, and the related sites deleted and banned from the system.))

and found there is no limitation on how much you stumble sites but i really wonder how they measure this kind , so i think accounts is under investigation maybe it will be reduced in traffic till they take final decision on it to keep it working or delete or ban some profile involved

    I have found that SU is very good for socializing but very poor for making money on ecommerce sites. I do not recommend you use it for any site where you intend to make money selling products although is is excellent for promotional efforts.

    I use Stumble Upon to submit my blog entries, and I am getting about 400-700 visitor per day on every entry, but that is the only thing Stumble Upon does, bring traffic. Only 2% of my visitors return, which is not good, and I only get comments from 2 or 3…

    Still, stumble upon is a great way to gain popularity and traffic, and thanks to it my blog won the All blogs on Vine (http://blog.blogsvine.com/2008/03/all-blogs-on-one-vine-win-free-advertising-on-blogsvine-phase-1/)

    The one thing stumble upon fails to do is show more than one page from the same website to stumblers… That from my point of view is not good at all… :(
