I periodically get tons of stumbleupon visitors, but their bounce rate is very much higher, than folks visiting from a search engine or a referrer's link.

There’s a pretty good theory discussed here: http://blog.rebeccamurphey.com/2008/01/03/suspicious-stumbleupon-bounce-rates/ Basically, most Stumbleupon traffic will at least be reported as no bounce, and 2 page views (both of the same page).

Since the aggregated homepage already answers this question, there is no need to venture out without cause.

StumbleUpon is a fantastic tool for discovering new things, but I'd like to find out how to make it work better for both web surfers and content publishers. Will post more findings in the future. Thanks again guys :) Thanks for all the thumbs-up and praise.
