I've heard lots of hype about stumble upon but just never got around to signing up for it. Last few months had been getting about 200/U a month from Stumble never figured out why.

Either way I was a skeptic but not anymore. Look at all these people who "stumbled upon" my site by viewing "blogs"; the cool part is someone else submitted it. Just a thought but I think it has benefit for anyone; regardless of site. THis is just a taste, The URL it's stumbling is my Blogger Forum and it's been a steady stream every few seconds for the last few hours. Ridiculous.
Yeah it can be crazy, but is any of the traffic converting for anything?? I have stumbled mine a few time, but none of the visitors converted!
Only time will tell if they stick but since I'm building a resource of information and not just selling reviews I think there may be some. Real eye opener to the power of these things though.
Stumbleupon traffic is like digg traffic, high quantity - very low quality, people will only look at the entry page and for 3 sec.
I was stumbling few days ago and actually ran across my own site but the page that was stumbled wasnt the main it was http://www.directorymix.com/proxytut.php/ and 93 referrals from it
got stumbled by guidy on my free directory after gave him a backlink ! I would like to thank him now for that ! That was the time when I had most unique visitors on my web directory ! Sheesh !!!!!!!!!!
i'm surprised that directories can get so many stumbles too.... but like !Ask! has said, it is likely low quality traffic as directories are not what ppl are looking for when they click in stumble
this month i got 700 uniqes to my forum from stumbles, but wasnt sure if it would increase sales on my bidding directory.
actually in some cases it does if you hit the right type of people .. i got www.idk.in << stumbled by many people !! most of who stumbled were webmasters and i hit the right keywords ... i got over 1000 visits from there ... it actually got me submissions which recovered my price for the advertisement for that stumbledupon and i got a featured during that promotion. not 100% sure that i got the listing from those who found it on stumble but stumble can be a backlink also couldn't it be ??
You bring up some good points. Mine came out of nowhere but I did notice you can order stumbles at $0.05 a piece. If you charge $30 for a regular submission you'd have to get a conversion ratio of 1/600 to break even. Obviously free is best but I think the trick is to feature a category where the webmaster/seo type's would flock. Sure you'll get some from stumbles but even before the stumbling begins from the front page featured listings. Could be worth ago. Mine were coming from the weblogs category which is a good match content wise but not necessarily people looking to make things happen for themselves online. Rob
