Are you trying to increase your brain size by learning what Stumble Upon really is?

Ok, now it’s time to start. Do not install the Stumble Upon toolbar. It has a big limitation in how many sites you can add to the system. Instead just use the sharing buttons you see in any website you like. For example to share your Triond articles, you’d better use the button you see in our article or Content Page in your account.
Now here is a Stumble Upon myth busted. They say Stumble Upon will send you traffic just once and after that click you will never get any visitors again. This is totally false. Once you submit a site, you will have that site added to your Stumble Upon home page. That page will be there forever. If you share that home page and someone visits it, as long as they click on the site, you will get Stumble Upon traffic. Even if you do not share your Stumble Upon page, you will get your sites in the system for quite a long time. Will Stumble Upon send you traffic forever? Not very likely, but for more than a month sure.
Now I read in some low quality blogs that Stumble Upon can get you banned from Adsense and other similar networks. This is totally false. Adsense allows Stumble Upon traffic. Stumble Upon is a legit traffic source featured in any Social Sharing network with button and all. It’s not auto hits or something.
While Stumble Upon can get you a lot of Page views, do not expect to get as many clicks or sales as you get from Google traffic. People that use Stumble Upon are not looking for products or services, they are looking for fun, they are more likely to go to the next site than they are clicking an ad, unless the ad is really interesting.
Finally I read in some other bad blogspot blogs that Stumble Upon will get you banned if you share too many websites or if you share just your websites. This is totally false. Stumble Upon does not allow multiple accounts or to add adult websites to the R rated accounts, besides this they almost do not have any limitation. You can add as many sites as you want, you can even add the pages with just tags they still allow it.

Like to comment you for posting such informative facts about Stumble upon. But I do noticed that there’s a lot of changes they make. They now minimize giving you “star”. My articles that was given stars in return gave lots of viwerships.
