We’ve been obsessively watching referrer logs, and we’ve gotten a lot of traffic from StumbleUpon. About a quarter of our total traffic came from them. The problem is that StumbleUpon traffic is cheap. That is to say that SU users (as far as we can tell) don’t tend to linger very long. We also had a radically lower conversation rate for users coming from StumbleUpon. The flip side of that is that getting written about on TechCrunch wasn’t nearly as good for traffic, but had a radically better conversion rate than traffic from anywhere else.
