I love StumbleUpon. SU a great way to find new sites and photos, one of my favorite free-time activities. So as you might imagine, I’ve used it a ton in 2007—over 4,500 thumbs up, many thumbs down and hundreds of reviews.
With the great power StumbleUpon holds, it has played an important role in getting impNERD’s feet off the ground. One article alone received over 20,000 unique SU visitors and is still receiving more daily.
As a result, I have learned much about StumbleUpon over the past year
- Stumblers love photographs – both the category and in user blogs.
- The buzz pages aren’t used often.
- The more fans and stumbles you have the more people will view a page you stumble.
- Stumblers do subscribe to RSS feeds, usually from the address bar and not by clicking on-page graphics.
- Tags (keywords) matter. The more general the better.
- One article gone hot will give you more fans than visiting and rating users pages.
- Saying “thank you” for a stumble will likely result in longer stays and the likelyhood of them doing so again.

I love stumbleupon. I am an avid stumbler, in fact I get addicted to the trend. I love to read post on stumbles. As I agree it is a great way to have others view your site, blog and great way to meet new people it is also a fantastic education tool. Many entrepreneurs, and bloggers offer real marketing solutions and lessons in general life that we can walk away with.
Thanks for this post. It will be a return site

Yes, most of the posts on my blog end up with about 1000 views on stumbleupon but we once got over 70,000 views on a single page over a month and it is still the most hit producing page.
(I have about 30 fans and over 5000 likes)
