Hi,

I know it’s an old post, but I am experiencing the same thing as you described, and I’m just wonder how is your SU traffic doing today? Is it back up? I posted a screenshot of my SU traffic here: http://www.tombunny.com/stumbleupon-traffic-is-down-did-they-impose-traffic-ceilings/.

Also, I tried contacting their support, but it appears they use a random email text generator to give stupid default answers not even reading my messages.

OK the last comment was in April, but if someone has experienced the same maybe you can post a note, as it seems to still be an issue.

Has anybody experienced SU traffic dropping to zero from one day to another? In this case, 2 days ago it was 988, yesterday it went down to a flat ZERO. I never saw this, it usually decreases step by step. From 1000 to 0 in one day is hard to believe, and today it’s still zero. This post has lots of stumbles, also from top stumblers, and I didn’t submit it myself but gave it a thumbs up as soon as it was submitted.

Did you experience this with your posts too?

Eliot: So you really think all bloggers are spammers? How old are you? Expressions like “cool sh*t” make the impression of early teens. When you grow up you will realize that the world is not black and white only.

i guess soo many people are trying to game them now with gargabe sites they have to start cracking down.

I hope they manage to find a way to do it, cause it would be a shame for my favorite site to be lost to spammers

i think the site should be limited just to cool sh*t, and they should hand edit out all the nonsense

Hey Tad – I have notice a significant drop in SU traffic, even though some of my posts recently have received good reviews and quite a few “thumbs” up.

Strange…

My SU traffic is up and down, but over the course of a month it’s always the #1 referrer. I have noticed in recent months that if I only get thumbs up from friends and from people who consistently give me a thumbs up, it really doesn’t send much traffic. I did have a post 3 or 4 weeks ago that was a collection of Photoshop tutorials and it got a lot of thumbs up from users I had never seen before (I’m guessing some random stumbles) and that got a ton of traffic.
