I think what's still not helping me on the plus side is that right now most of my traffic for the new site comes from StumbleUpon which sounds like a wash. In other words, even though it's not hurting my profile with Google those visits aren't doing much to help it either. Any suggestions to get my visitors to more easily see my other content?

SU visits, while I agree they dont provide much in ROI, probably dont get counted in your search quality scores anywhere, since they are not search referred.

In my defense, my site is NOT a thin site. I have a store inside a WP blog and there are plenty of posts to interest these people. I am starting to think that sending StumbleUpon traffic in the amount that I am is what's hurting me the most. Rarely, do SUers spend time or click on other site links. So, if 300 people come to my site, thumb it up and leave I'm in the negative column for each? Google doesn't have a way to track thumbs up or reviews done by a stumbler, do they? Also, my blog design does not prominently display the other content.
