As in, yes there is, but don't tell anyone so you can keep it all for yourself.
That's the thing, SU is nothing like SEO or any other traffic source. You DO NOT want to keep it to yourself. While it can be spammed - it's not something that is going to get overran with spam. The more people the use it overall, the more we will all gain from it.

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..
