Stumbleupon submission limit

Getting a blank page when submitting to Stumbleupon? Then its likely that you have reached the limit for your domain/account, the below is the answer to the problem many SEOs face! Stumbleupon quite simply has a limit in place preventing you from submitting "to many" urls from your domain.

We have a limit in place that prevents multiple posting from a single source. Having reviewed your pages, it seems likely that you are encountering this limit.

Submitting your own content to stumbleupon can hardly be considered spamming, they have a voting system in place which allows people to either give your site a thumbs up, or a thumbs down. My guess is that this is a limit put in place, in an attempt to force SEOs to use the advertising option. Many of us don't have the money to support advertising campaigns, which means that we are forced into SEO from the beginning. Stumbleupon dose not provide any direct SEO benefits, but it dose provide some quality traffic. I have tried advertising with stumbleupon, and i found it to be very expensive, and honestly useless for my own business.

First i should point out that it isn't ageinst SU's TOS to submit your own content, this is where many people get confused. Likely there isn't any problems with your content at all, the main problem is spammers trying to earn money through various methods, which i wont get into in this post. In any case, you have no reason not to submit your own content.

So how do you get around the limit? The limit appears to be tied to your account, so either get your users to help you out, or you create multiple accounts. You should however note, that having multiple accounts is considered spamming by most website owners, and it could get you banned if they find out what you are doing.

Finally its also possible to simply "wait it out", my guess is that SU automatically lift this limit when some of your submitted pages begin to receive thumbs up, i haven't tested this though, but its more likely then the time based restrictions.
