Blocking SumbleUpon Is there a way blocking traffic from SumbleUpon? I'm getting plenty of traffic from StumbleUpon, but its not quality traffic and it's damaging my Adsense profits. I don't have a StumbleUpon button on my site. Please help

Based on this
http://www.whois.ws/whois-ip/74.201.117.232/
NetRange: 74.201.0.0 - 74.201.255.255
CIDR: 74.201.0.0/16
so you need to block those set of ip addresses via .htaccess.
once you do this other sites hosted on those ip address can't access your site.
if you have existing .htaccess file better download that your computer first then add the lines:
order allow,deny
deny from 74.201
allow from all
if not existing:
create a file .htaccess
the content of the .htaccess file is this:
order allow,deny
deny from 74.201
allow from all
