And if you are, are you active there? I have just started being active in stumble upon. I am trying to use it to bring traffic to my blog. But I am not seeing any solid results yet. Are you active in bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon? What has it done for you? What are the benefits of joining bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon?

Hi! I just started there yesterday. I got there from triond as I was attempting to "share" an article I submitted. Maybe it will help. To be honest, I don't know half of what's going on there, or what to do. I felt kind of lost there. I did get to look into some interesting sites from there. Maybe I'll take more visits there.

I have read some blogs saying that to be successful in StumbleUpon, you have to have a lot of friends who would be kind enough to thumbs up your articles. It's not enough that you submit your article there, you have to make it popular.

Oh. Thanks for the info. That's it, Im going back there. There was this site that I followed through, and I really liked it. I should have given it a thumbs up. I don't know the site owners, I can't even remember the name of the site, but the images I saw there I distinctly remember. It's just that stumbleupon pages seem too cluttered for me, you know, like there are just too many items there. I don't know, but I'll definitely go back there. You're there too? I remember now, I think another friend from mylot is there too. I'll try to find you both there.

I don#t have a blog. But if I were you I would make sure to have adequate tags that will help your blog to be indexed by search engines.

I have not tried or tested StumbleUpon and do not know how effectively it works. I joined Diggs for posting links to my articles (which I have written on Associated Contents). I am not sure how much traffic came to my site due to my links on 'Diggs'.

I am a user of StumbleUpon. It's really a nice site for traffic. I like it in general. But the toolbar is strange. I installed it and it keeps disappearing from my browser, I can't control it. It's a pain for me to log in and submit. So, I seldom use it now.

I had a friend introduce me to StumbleUpon, maybe a month ago, and I use it for the humor and comedic value of it primarily. It actually got me to this site here, which makes me very, very happy

Hi , I just joined it month ago. I think it is kind of helpful but you need a time.

Hi, I'd not looked at it before, just did then. I agree with sndcain, a bit of hit and miss, fairly chaotic, but I think it is supposed to be that way. I found the 50 best hubble images page, and went of into dreamland, wow. So, I found some treasure, there are cartoons as well, worth going back for a surf every now and then just because it put a smile on my dial.

i'm a stumble upon user since 2007. All my book marks are preserved in it and it gave me a grand exposure in the web. All search engines are catching my SU book marks.

Hi Richiem, I am a member of stumble upon. I was basically using it for fun and to surf new sites, Then I just recently started to use it for business. I am not too successful with it so far, but I am hoping that if other stumble users link into my blogs I will get money and referrals that way. I have 3 blogs that I have linked together and stumbled them in different categories and I am hoping that will help.
