Webupon is a site that provides information, insight and news on Internet applications and other online services. StumbleUpon is a discovery engine that finds and recommends web content to its users. Both are good websites. Although Stumbleupon banned Webupon!

Short Review about Webupon

Webupon published awesome articles which are open to public for traffic and views. Crawlers or spiders from different search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing always love to crawl on the site’s pages for fresh news, topics and ideas provided by writers from around the world.

And yet I never read any write-ups or reviews that Webupon contains illegal contents like child pornography, online gambling, software and music piracy, malware and viruses, that this site is catering Phishing and scam sites, Hijacked websites or this site is created for Hate speeches and Extreme violence.

Short Review about Stumbleupon

Some features of Stumbleupon allow users to discover and rate Web pages, photos, and videos that are personalized to their tastes and interests using peer-sourcing and social-networking principles. And there are about nearly 20 million registered stumblers now who always love stumbling on those sites recommended by Stumbleupon.

At Stumbleupon to make your sharing of articles and other stuff interesting - first you would have to establish network of friends on that site. That is the normal way. There are also hundreds or even thousands of users on that site looking for friendships and for the purpose of sharing of stuff to one another.

Possible Reasons: Why Stumbleupon Refused Webupon

Stumbleupon did not give its direct reasons why the site has refused Webupon from sharing articles and other stuff to their site instead, Stumbleupon has just directed me to a section where some of its policies are strictly implemented to be observed accordingly.

According to Stumbleupon policy they will ban sites for the following reasons:

  • Sites that contain illegal content (e.g. child pornography, online gambling, software/music piracy)

  • Sites that contain malware/viruses

  • Phishing and scam sites

  • Hijacked websites

  • Extreme Violence (e.g. death, torture, animal cruelty)

  • Hate Speech

  • Sites that sell or buy StumbleUpon ratings and reviews / sites built to spam StumbleUpon

  • StumbleUpon impersonation – websites that are trying to look like StumbleUpon or are using the name without authorization. (Exception: The use of Stumble Badges is authorized)

  • Sites that take control of your browser (e.g. Make it impossible to use your browser, not letting you navigate away)

  • And Sites designed to cause bodily harm to the user (e.g. Sites designed to induce epileptic seizures)

Does Webupon contain one or some of the above mentioned reasons why it is banned from Stumbleupon?

As usual thank you too Denise - maybe we are right to say it that webupon has violated one of those policies of SU.

Until now I am still googling why the site is banned? Webupon is the only site I know being refused by SU.
