StumbleUpon traffic gone

[dpd1]

I started seeing hits from StumbleUpon on my sales site about three months ago. It peaked last month with close to 500. That month also turned out to be the best in sales I've ever had... Now this month, it's way down from that... Like 1/4 of what it was last month. I just realized while looking at the logs this morning that there isn't a single hit from StumbleUpon this month. What's up with that? Does anyone know if sites get removed completely out of their system or something? How can it go from 500 to zero from one month to the next? I have to think that a lot of those sales came from Stumble, so it's kind of disheartening to have it disappear completely.

Thanks for any help,

Dave

don't people rate the pages by giving them a thumbs up or thumbs down. the higher your page is rated, the more 'stumbles' you are supposed to get.
the only thing i can think of is your page rating has gone down.
each site has its own page on stumbleupon. so you can go and see what's up. people leave reviews and stuff for you to read.

Basically that's how it works. Actually, I can't even find the site listed on there. That's why I was thinking they take them out of their directory sometimes or something. It's just weird it was 500 last month and zero this month.

Does this have anything to do with the purchase of StumbleUpon by eBay in 2007 May?

Could be, who knows... Frankly, I think it's a pretty lame thing. The site search is very crude and I don't see a whole lot of reasons to spend time with it. But hey, I'll take traffic from wherever I can get it. I didn't even see other commercial type sites on there, so maybe that's what it was... Maybe somebody submitted mine and then the Stumble people deleted it for being commercial.
