Stumble Upon Sucks

Published by at 2:53 pm under Social/Book Marking Sites

I have used Stumble Upon since they first came out. A few days ago, I got an email that my account was suspended for violating their terms of service. It seems that you can not promote your site or anyone else’s. In other words, if you choice to stumble all your posts or websites, you could violate the policy. I see no other purpose for Stumble Upon.

It seems that they sucked people in to use their service but once eBay purchased them, they decided that unless you pay for their premium services, they no longer want you around.

As far as traffic, I got a lot of traffic from the service but it amounted to just click through traffic. Most did not even read a post or bother staying on my sites. I am annoyed that they suspended my account but I am glad to delete the clutter off my browser. Good bye Stumble Upon, YOU SUCK!

    Tom:

    I am sorry that you got banned by StumblerUpOn. Like you said, StumbleUpOn don’t really give you quality traffic, it gives a boost on Alexa ranking though.

    Now. Alexa is changing their ranking system, so StumbleUpOn may become useless once for all. :-)

    I do also hate stumble upon. No, I’m not banned but it’s just they give us non-quality traffic/visiot. Users go to your site accidentally or by chance because of clicking the Stumble button but after some seconds, they immediately leave your site. It’s just a waste of bandwidth.
