Is StumbleUpon Really of Any Value?
First up, is StumbleUpon really of any value?
I've had websites and blog posts stumbled, and I of course see the increase in traffic from those stumbles, but I've not yet seen any kind of evidence that the traffic is valuable in any way.
On days when I have high traffic due to a stumble, there is no corresponding increase in ad clicks. Nor is there any increase in sales of any affiliate offers or anything involving a monetary transaction.
Nor have I ever had anyone tell me they found my site through StumbleUpon.
I know it doesn't work the same, but it reminds me of the old traffic exchanges where people would just sit and rapidly click through other web sites in order to collect their own credits to have their site shown to other people who will pretty much do the exact same thing.
And, I don't stumble my own content, so many stumbles happen because someone thought something was worth stumbling.
So, what am I missing here?
