It’s about time I sign up. I can’t believe I haven’t signed up for stumbleupon or facebook yet!!

Another great article. Thanks for the plug as well. It’s really weird because I’ve been noticing traffic spikes every now and again for a while, but for some reason I just never got into StumbleUpon. It should have been a duh moment the first time I saw a traffic spike because of it but it wasn’t.

Thanks again for bringing up the subject and getting me going on it.

@caroline– I think the toolbar is cool too! I think the way Stumble set things up is brilliant both by making it less susceptible to gaming and making it easy to stumble.

I find Digg makes it harder to be the first to Digg, but afterwards, it’s so trivially easy. So, people invest time getting a first digg, then dropping links on forums asking friends to Digg. (Or it seems so.)

So far SU has sent more traffic to my blog than anything else but those traffic levels have still been fairly small as the blog is very new. But it’s something I want to learn more about partly because it seems to work and also because I just like SU, I like the toolbar – it’s cool.

Anyway I must have saved around 2 dozen links and I read through them all over the last week or so. Nearly all just said the same old stuff but these two posts – this one and the five tips one are really top notch. I’m going to get to work on fully understanding them and putting them into practice today. Thanks

I always see people talking about “stumbles” over at Digital Point. You’ve helped me understand the concept better. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for linking and commenting and stumbling and all that stuff. Another one of my favorite stumbles.

i agree linking out to people can help as can commenting on other peoples blogs, but it is always important to say thank you

Dane– great question. Clearly, calls to action that do me some good is the next step. I need to reorganize to a) monetize and b) get people to subscribe.

But… I hadn’t done so at the outset!

I get a good amount of free stumble traffic because of readers who are stumblrs. So what do you do with the stumble traffic you get Lucia. thats the post I want to see. How do you turn those visits into actions?

StumbleUpon traffic is nice but it take some effort to get it rolling – You have to take the time to make friends and be active which isn’t easy
