This is stupid, how would we be able to prevent other visitors from submitting our site to Stumble Upon?

Is this serious? This is the first post I heard about Stumbleupon that can lead to your Adsense account being banned by Google. Perhaps, you should not really use Stumbleupon on your own site. I think Stumbleupon does not also allow you to Stumbleupon your own site.

Very nice message over impression fraud, I like it, but main thing that i observed during all my campaigning practice is that if number of impressions are coming from only one source then google might think that the publisher is involved in click/impression fraud, if we have more than one source then I think we are not in trouble, I am using SU side by side with craigslists.org both are giving me nice impressions but still I use craigslists more than SU because I thought that there is something wrong with SU and I dont want to take the risk of my adsense account.

This is a very interesting and informative post. Although I have heard a lot of Google Publishers being banned using autosurf, I haven’t heard being banned using StumpleUpon. Nevertheless, I still do not use Stumble because it might create artificial traffic that can raise a red flag to my account.

more power.

I wrote an article on the real meaning of the AdSense usage policies. You can find it here:

Thanks for the informative article. Have you or anyone for that matter heard of people/businesses getting banned from AdSense because they were using StumbleUpon?

i doubt there would be any banning anytime soon from google for if this news reach stumbleupon, they will surely make some PR to clarify their name and the nature of their site, which is not an auto-surt-type-of website.

Gee…

I guess the only “artificial” means of generate traffic to your website you can use is Google Adwords! This is becoming ridiculous…
