SU should not be looked at as a traffic source, it's not a traffic a source. It's the ultimate learning center and way to surf the internet, and if you like all the social stuff it has that too and then some.

Does it send traffic, Yes - and it can send lots.
Is it filled with surfers that are going to flood your porn site? No - not even close.

It's not a steady traffic system since it's based on votes / ratings / comments, ect.. and it's not like you can just submit all your shit and it do anything at all. Things that get a couple of votes, even 10-20... don't really gain you that much traffic. So to 'really' get traffic you have to actually create something that a huge range of people around the world will love enough to actually vote it up a lot.

Their is no logical reason to down play SU..
