I'd be lying if I said I could explain the pattern, but I could offer my opinion as a Stumbler. When I Stumble, I'm often feeling a little ADD and won't even let your page fully load unless it catches my eye quickly. I'll stumble through 300 or 400 links in a day and maybe even ever see 50 of them. Note that 50/400 = 1/8 and that, if we assume 1 in 5 who actually see it sign up, we get 1/40. And 5/200 = 1/40.
Whether I'm typical enough for this to explain anything is unknown (though, unlikely (I assume most stumblers don't do 300-400 pages in a day, but if they similarly don't even bother with a page unless it captures their attention the same 1/8 ratio may apply)), but I imagine it at least partially explains the issue.
- cl8ton 16y agobtw: The 1 in 5 I mentioned, I meant to say they log more than 5 pageviews, not actually sign up, that's a bit higher. Thanks for the insight...something I implemented today was a special fast loading landing page when I see the stumbleupon.com/su/8caRbY/xxx.com/ or stumbleupon.com/refer.php?url=??? referrer coming in. Hopefully this will help. In it, I try to explain in SU terms what we do and how we can compliment SU. So it's 8pm PST right now, the SU heard is starting to stream by, lets see if my landing page helps.
