I didnt knew this before. I used to write reviews for my own site. But, I am not able to do this now. It seems they have banned by site. Feeling very bad. I never expected this.

@1 Weddings Readings:

Thank you for the blessing. Problogger has more power to prove that his should not be banned. Not so much luck to other small web site owners. However, StumbleUpOn only provides a short boost of traffic and not a good quality traffic. You should pay more attention on search engine traffic. If you can make to the top of first page for your niche keywords, you don’t really need StumbleUpOn for traffic.

Thanks Terence. I have been looking for the reason why being banned by Stumble Upon. At first I thought unreasonably banned I was trying to look for the answer in Google. I found a lot of pages containing Problogger( ya we know him well ) but he was just talking about his site being banned bla bla bla..Anyway, wish you smooth sailing in your way to being a billionaire. Cheerz!

I just got banned from stumble upon, was looking for the reason and reached your post. I was also not getting any conversion from stumble upon traffic but the surge in traffic that one can get from stumble upon is a steep one and i feel like i have missed it from now on. Are there any nice and free alternatives?

I infact didn’t know that they had it in thier TOS.

[...] need to be taken care of. There is evidence of sites getting banned from SU who misuse it. If you stumble your own pages continuously , your blog or web site may be banned on SU. SU has the power to get your adsense account closed. [...]

@Tom:

I am sorry that you was banned by StumbleUpOn. That’s a lessen to learn. StumbleUpOn has been a great traffic source for my blogs, but the conversion rate from the StumbleUpOn traffic is low in many cases. I will never buy the traffic for sites with PPC advertisement, it will actually lower your PPC rate. Most stumbler won’t even click on any of the links.

I was banned from Stumble Upon for stumbling my own blog posts. It is ok if you pay them for the premium stumbling that they offer for a fee but not with the free service. I got a lot of traffic from stumbles but it never amounted to much as far as conversion.

Oh well, that is what happens when they become to large.

Good to know, I guess it’s only fair to those that create quality content and don’t know all the ins and outs of social bookmarking, One should be able to kick back and let organic searches rule. Great post.
