StumbleUpon has been a huge asset to many a blogger trying to gain regular traffic from the net. Unfortunately for many, this application is no longer a viable way to garner fans. SU has taken it upon themselves to shut down stumblers who only use the site to promote or enter contests and giveaways. There is a widespread campaign by those who have had their accounts frozen to warn others of their plight so they don’t fall to the same. Stumble does not really understand the dynamic of what they are doing to bloggers around the globe. They don’t get that many bloggers would never have anything they feel stumble-worthy if it were not for a contest on their blog. They gain followers and friends all in the same swift click of a button. Stumble is losing traffic for this move, as there are many who are reading the news and swearing off anything to do with Stumble. The fact is that now we all have to be careful when we see any contests or giveaways that involve using StumbleUpon as an entry option. You could be the next one out in the cold.
