This is a very easy equation and concept to get your new or established online venture some free traffic. On all of your posts you should have an option that allows readers to stumble it and get the whole phenomenon started. These stats are from the ~8th of November until today. In the referrer stats stumble upon is #1 by a large margin.
When stumbling someone’s site make sure to put it in the MOST appropriate category. Often times there will be numerous categories which it could fit into. Pick the most targeted one possible. Most stumble traffic stays for a very short time so the more targeted it is the more likely they will stay.
When I’m stumbling I just go through 80% in the blink of an eye but if something catches my attention on the first fold I usually see what it’s all about. Stumbling does work though as I’ve found stuff via the network and bookmarked the pages before. It has a community of ~4 million members now so I think it is only going to continue to grow.
Another benefit of stumbleupon even if the traffic is light is your alexa ranking. People who have installed the stumbleupon toolbar may of also installed the alexa one. Each time one of them comes to your site it helps your ranking.
I would not recommend paying for stumbles. On my forum I’ve spent well over $50 off and on sending a stumble surge and the conversion rates have been very low. I’ve spoken with other webmasters and marketers on forums who had similar results.
That being said I think stumbleupon is a great resource for FREE traffic. I also recommend everyone make it as easy as possible for readers to stumble a post. It may not be the best traffic source out there but the price is definitely right!

Great article you have here. When I stumble my blogs I get very good traffic! I hit around 400 - 600 hits a day. The only thing I don’t like is the traffic is not very targeted and 80% of who visits will not be interested in your topic. Honestly that’s the sad trust about it. If you have ads use stumble upon 100%
Good idea!
P.S. A U realy girl?
