One of the Top 5 Social bookmarking website<\/a> – Stumble Upon a website which offers you to Connect, Meet and Share, has now started banning all the websites which are trading in exchanging votes\/ stumbles etc. I just found that they have banned http:\/\/suexchange.com\/ from stumble upon now because they mainly deal in stumble exchanges only.<\/p>\n

\"StumbleAs per the TOS of Stumble Upon :<\/p>\n

Are incentive programs allowed? Someone asked me to rate their web-site?
\nStumbleUpon does not allow personal accounts to be used for the purposes of incentivization or promoting sites. This would be considered a breach of our Terms.<\/p>\n

The practice of sending PM’s encouraging or inviting other stumblers to rate\/review sites in exchange for reciprocal reviews\/ratings, monetary, or any other form of reward is strictly forbidden.<\/p>\n

The practice of actively soliciting a rating or review for a site is also forbidden. Should you receive a PM, or encounter forum postings that breach this rule, you are encouraged to report this via feedback.<\/p>\n

Accounts participating in such practices will be deleted and banned, and the related sites deleted and banned from the system.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Suexchange used to offer points for stumbling others websites and in return you get back stumbles, though i dont understand what is the use of stumble upon because one of my fun[humor] related website gets around 4000 uniques\/day from stumble upon but not even 0.01% stay more than a couple seconds on my website and just move on, which just leads to waste of bandwidth for my website and lots of useless impressions.<\/p>\n
