Can stumbleupon bots help on SEO?

[hwang]

Recently if you notice, there is such a stumbleupon service offering something like 300 stumbles for a set price. All of them actually works using a stumbleupon bots to stumble the links and urls. If this is the case, would it actually help on SEO since it's kind of artificial. Anybody who tried this type of service receiving increased traffic? Is it good and can maintain on long run?

I'm not really sure. But i think its really help and your PR also will increasing with that way. For me, its good. For long or short term, i'm not sure. I'm not use this method.

People actually commented that the traffic increase but that is only a while. There has been a hype saying also that Stumbleupon might penalize you if they find out that the stumble votes are being carried out by bots. That's why I get opinions to verify it.
