Hi Terence – Thanks. That is bad that SU traffic caused your PR to drop. You are right – most traffic from SU does not return – well only a small fraction does. And really, the folks that benefit from it most do it through creating perceived popularlity. But I’m still not sure they’re getting the right traffic that way – probably mostly webmasters.

I will definitely be checking out moli.com

Hi Sterling – that is so true. There’s too many to keep up with. I don’t want to go back and drive more traffic to SU, when they could pull the plug at any time.

Hi Hunter – It would certainly be useful to know the reasons for the ban, so that others know what not to do. As Terence pointed out – SU don’t practise what they preach. On the one hand, they have rules to stop people from stumbling crap but they’ll quite happily let folks pay them to have crap stumbled.

If I had to name someone who I predicted would get banned from StumbleUpon, I never would have guessed you! I hope you do decide to appeal, even if just to satisfy everyone's curiosity about why you were really banned, and see what they do in case it happens to us.
