Ironically I didn't even really know about StumbleUpon until I stumbled upon this post. I took a look at it and it seems like an interesting service but honestly I'm not 100% sure about how effective it will be. I'll give it a try though and see how it goes. Thanks for pointing it out.

i really haven't been using stumbleupon much but like you after reading darren's post and doing a bit more research really see this as a long term traffic source.

later all and have a profitable productive blogging day

lol only 135 mil huh? that's all?

I belogn to bunch of different groups there, but to be honest my activity there does not go beyond a "stumble" here and there. I will give a stumble to your site now.

I "bumped" this post. I just started using stumbleupon, so I'm hoping that it will start sending me some traffic as well. I think the industry the site is about may have a lot to do with whether or not a site gives you traffic. I love your screen name. Did you know that Vlad the Impaler's castle is up for sale? Only a measly 135 mil and its all yours..... :) Do you belong to any groups on Stumble?

That is exactly why there is no adsense on my blog any more. My cpm was very bad so I removed it to try and help my niche sites. Honestly, I'm not sure it has helped yet. About two weeks.

Great observation Jon! Thanks! I hope my recent stumble did not cause any problems, but I don't recall any AdSense on your blog.

I would suggest that users with young sites that have adsense on them be carefull of stumbling. In my experience, most stumblers don't click ads. The traffic boost with a low cpm could put you into smart-pricing jmho. jon

Meg,

I agree it is hard to figure out why these waves happen. We know that when you hit front page on Digg you get "hit". Some times I think we may not be prepared to the kind of traffic StumbleUpon can bring.

Hi Vlad

You are very right about StumbleUpon coming in waves! I've known bloggers to suddenly get thousands of visitors (on very old posts) in a short space of time. I wish I understood what triggers the sudden spikes a bit better! For me it's been a very nice source of traffic.

Hi,
Yes, StumbleUpon is great. I even started a StumbleUpon "group" in one of my blogs where I receive sites to be stumble from my readers and email them to other readers at random.
