I have also seen fascinating results from Stumbleupon traffic (it's my favorite social media website). I think what makes Stumbleupon traffic convert so well is that the tags you add to it will help bring in more targeted traffic. It is usually much better traffic then Digg.

Sometimes this social media traffic is surprisingly strong (our traffic from Stumble Upon has a lower bounce rate than our average traffic, which shocked me). But when it's surprisingly weak, you make an excellent, excellent point... Thanks for the post. ~Jim This is a very interesting perspective.

(Digg, StumbleUpon, Sphinn, etc...) Then, you'd have a clean way to see exactly how those visitors interact with your site. Maybe you could optimize your site for the best of both worlds.
