This is more a question than a suggestion of something you really should do. The reason for the question is that I actually don’t know if this is legal or not. Well, it’s not breaking any laws (the cops won’t be after you), you might just be breaking the rules over at StumbleUpon.
Anyways, I don’t want to break any rules, and that’s why I am asking you about this.
I am not sure if it’s possible to earn any money by doing this, but I am sure that you can get a lot of extra (free) traffic to your affiliate sites.
What I am trying to say is this; can you/should you vote on your own affiliate sites and help them get many stumbles? A lot of people at StumbleUpon will see the sites, and the sites will have your affiliate links (and if they order, you will earn commission).
This is sort of like stumbling your own blog posts, but instead you are stumbling your affiliate programs.
The reason I am saying that I am not sure if you will earn any money by doing this, is that (in general) people coming to your websites from StumbleUpon are not converting that well, and I am not sure how happy they’ll be looking at a sales page
You will have to test this, in order to find out what works.
I have never tried this myself, and that’s because somehow I think applying this technique might be breaking the rules at StumbleUpon. I haven’t read the TOS (for a long time), but if many people start using this marketing technique, StumbleUpon will just end up being like any traffic exchange.
… and that’s why I think it might be breaking their rules.

Hi Jens, I think StumbleUpon will not allow that. Now SU is very strict towards link exchange. The STC that u’ve ever joined is now not performing that well. You will get traffic only if there are new people stumbling your site. If the same people do it over and over, that won’t bring much. Do you still have good experience with SU? I felt the drop on the month of February. That was a terrible performance for my traffic from SU.
Jens, I was quoting you on a marketing review I made on the subliminal message. I am still a beginner in marketing. Can I have some comments from you, what do you think on the review?
Thanks,
Robert
