There’s an interesting thread over at PRO SEO Forums about the effects of StumbleUpon and what the author calls a Stumble SWARM. The swarm congregates on a site suddenly, pounds the site for a day, and then clears off. Within 24 hours the site was swamped with traffic and then it breaks off and nothing is seen again for days after.

Here at Words and Pictures blog we are sure that Stumblers bring some great traffic and visibility to websites but the author doesn’t rate it at all - the author writes:

Checking the referrer showed it was ALL from stumbleupon.com so the URL had been shared on Stumbleupon and within about 8 hours the site had got 844 unique vists.

Personally I think it’s pants, at least on this occasion.
