    Squidoo has died a slow death because of the slap they got from google.

    Stumbleupon is far superior. The traffic you get from SU is much larger and of better quality than squidoo's.

    StumbleUpon is a great tool in getting traffic but Squidoo is a good way to build backlinks since you are the one determine what links to give away on a particular page.

    traffic from SU is good, I think it's even easier and better from digg. However, most traffic from SU is not good if your monetization is depending on adsense or other ads network.

    I'd have to say the traffic is somewhat better (in terms of both quality and volume) from Digg, however I've found it's much much much more easier to get traffic from StumbleUpon.

    StumbleUpon is very different from Squidoo. In SU, your article gets voted and you get traffic. In Squidoo, you create content and people reading that content comes to your blog by clicking the link you have provided.

    Both are great services and I cannot just stop using both. I have become a fan of those services.

    Stumble traffic is alot better then Squidoo in my opinion. It's alot easier to get traffic from SU as well. Digg is the best one in my opinion though, the traffic's quality seems to beat the competition.

    I have accounts both in squidoo and stumble. The latter is more popular and helps drive more traffic to your site than the former. That's the reason why squidoo is least talked about here.

    You don't have to pick one or the other...

    Use them both!

    Exactly!

    4,335,379 visitors in December 2007 with a 680% increase according to Compete, I think the slap got shook off a while back.

    StumbleUpon is so much better then squidoo if you want traffic but if you want backlinks Squidoo is better.

    Make a Squidoo lens with quality original content, good tags and then Stumble it. Then you get the traffic benefit of both sites.

    Squidoo can help you to appear higher on SERPs because it has a high rating from search engines. It is a good backlinks builder for your site as well.

    StumbleUpon can't be compared together with Squidoo since SU is better in getting traffic.
