    Have no idea if there's the nofollow attribute but it's true you'll get good traffic if someone stumble your site.

    You may as well not worry about it, and use both services to promote your site.

    Neither will significantly increase backlinks - but both can benefit your site traffic. Stumble especially I've found to be a great source of visitors for entertainment related sites - just remember that most stumble users seem to use the service when bored, so provide them with something interesting or fun and they'll use the thumbs up feature and traffic can rocket!

    I have a certain entertainment site that gets 60% of it's traffic from StumbleUpon, and I originally only added a few pages to Stumble.

    Sites like del, stumble are not supposed to give backlinks and hence use no follow attribute. If your site has interesting pages, you may get traffic from stumble.

    del.icio.us will give you a low volume of targeted traffic, whereas stumbleupon will give you a short burst of untargeted traffic. Unless your landing page has immediate appeal, stumblers will leave (and from what I've heard, they rarely click on ads).

    Seems that you did not use it :) Calling it untargetted is not correct. If someone is not interested in "Cars" then it is not directed to car related sites. So alhough it is not as much targetted as Adwords like methods, it is still targeted!

    And, yes currently the user base consists of tech guys mainly who don't like ads much :)

    del.icio.us may give you the results, but try to post both in del.icio.us and stumble for traffic. :)

    All Stumble, De.li.cio.us and Technorati backlinks are no-follow. It's purely for traffic.

    Col :)

    I'll give you that. But for many genres it's very broadly targeted.
