However, I think if it wasn't against these sites terms and was used sensibly then it would be useful. However this isn't a perfect world and I would rather generally keep away from this sort of thing.

Also, exchangers and mass spammers are well known for their spam bomb attacks and anonymous threats to users who complain. It pisses people off, too.

That may reflect the differences in content/visitors of our websites or possibly the difference in where we appear in Google results. A large surge in Stumble traffic usually results in an improvement in my CTR. On the other hand, the sort of reader who visits my site rarely even sees ads. I don't do it for the money... I just want to make enough to cover my hosting costs :) I did find that several of the stumblers added me as a friend or even a fan on stumbleupon and have become regular readers. I haven't yet seen a surge in Digg or Delicious traffic so I can't comment on those. I have found Stumble traffic to be not quite as useless as you have.

If you have started a new website or blog and need to get an initial surge of interest it can be quite helpful. Sure not many people will actually come back to visit, but even 15-20 subscribers can be a huge boost for a writer. However, I do dislike the digg scams much more. They really are more about making things "digg-worthy" I disagree that it is pointless. If you have started a new website or blog and need to get an initial surge of interest it can be quite helpful.

And making 20$ a day by driving huge amounts of digg and stumble traffic is not that bad. This method is good for getting quick profits, but not for establishing a long lasting relationship with the readers.
