I have been experimenting a lot with StumbleUpon and trying to get the most out of it. The traffic i have received(am still receiving) is of excellent quality and has converted well.
Before i posted that how to get traffic from StumbleUpon. Today i am going to show you WHY StumbleUpon traffic is one of the BEST quality traffic and why i LOVE it.
StumbleUpon sends continuous traffic
One of the reasons why i LOVE StumbleUpon is that, it keeps sending you traffic. I was worried for one of my blogs, Winkk, which i mentioned in the recent PR update post , I wasn’t doing any marketing and promotions, but StumbleUpon saved me! When i logged into my Analytics account yesterday i saw 600-1000 daily unique visitors! I was amazed to see that and when i checked the sources of traffic and StumbleUpon is sending nearly 90% of the traffic.
Another thing that amazed me is that i never stumbled any in Winkk since more than a month nor did anyone else stumbled(i checked that 
) and it is sending me traffic on daily basis without doing anything.
Low Bounce Rate
This is another reason why i love StumbleUpon. The bounce rate is extremely low and it’s good to have low bounce rate. I viewed the traffic sources and the traffic from StumbleUpon has a bounce rate of 44.97%! Many people are saying they get bounce rate of 60% and above and blah blah..see mine! yo! It’s very low.
Many New Visits
StumbleUpon has sent me an average of nearly 94% new visitors till now! This is a great way to gain more daily readers.
They stay for a longer time
StumbleUpon users stay for a long time. The avg. time on site by StumbleUpon traffic is nearly 1 minute and 20 seconds. Cool! 
This is type of unique traffic you can’t get from Digg.
They Look Around
Unlike traffic from Digg, StumbleUpon users look around your site and try to search. They visit nearly 1 or 2 more pages on your site, some visit even more and become daily readers. I am using Psychic search plugin on my blogs and so far what I’ve seen is that they use the search function.
They Click on Ads
This has to be the best reason why i love StumbleUpon traffic. They click on ads, the traffic converts well and is more targeted compared to Digg.
Here’s my Screenshot of traffic from StumbleUpon.

I would have to agree with you on the quality of visitors Stumble sends. Not only some click on the ads. To me they appear to stay on the site longer as well. Great post and an opener on some of the info.
Yap SU got tremendous potential. I would like to add that traffic would be better if your page is stumbled by respected SU members (with many fans – 300 +). Then traffic gets snowball effect. But really don’t know about consistency of traffic, since I use SU on daily basis.
bro, you said that “…StumbleUpon traffic,They click on ads” , is it calculated as a paid one? thanks, and i’m sorry if my grammar sucks..
No..lol.. I meant that Stumbleupon traffic converts well and they click on ads more compared to other type of traffic.
Not only that, but traffic from SU converts better. For any niche!
Yes I have to agree with the above comments too. Stumble-upon generates good quality traffic and an excellent click-through rate.
I love SU. Great for traffic and backlinks.
hey what kind of stats program is that Pranav?
Google Analytics.
I agree with u frd…
my site gets more traffic from SU then from search engines daily … thats the main reason i like SU better then se’s … but how do u get around 1k visitors daily from SU ? share the secret if u dont mind
No problem with me.
I am writing a blog post about it at the moment. 
Yup, stumbleupon does give you quality traffic. It helped my website to earn $5 in a day when it was earning like $1/day only
[...] I posted why StumbleUpon traffic is one of the best high quality traffic. Today Puneet, a fellow reader of our blog asked me a question how to drive traffic from [...]
yeah.. i agree with you, stumbleupon is a good place to get visitors.
What do you mean when you say quality traffic?
I was quite surprised to find out that my post about Battlefield Heroes suddenly got 7000 of views! It was only about 800-ish yesterday. That all came from StumbleUpon
Bounce rate about 36%. Although, it doesn’t seem like anyone was clicking on the ads lol
Yeah i would have to totally agree with you! not many webmasters know about how good SU can be for generating traffic.
SU is a life saver, I don’t know What I would do without it!
For me SU traffic only increases the page views but they rarely click on ads on my website.
Why do you only periodically capitalize your I’s?
Very good article and with interested points.
Thanks
Although StumbleUpon traffic is good for the majority of the reasons you stated, I am not sure if they are the best ad clickers. Most of them use the StumbleUpon bar to get in and out. It is important not to rely on one source of traffic and to always keep a steady flow of search engine traffic!
