How does stumble work?

    Can someone please explain to me how stumble works. Like some people said for a whole week straight they get like 200-300 unique visitors per day. And people here are offering to stumble each other's pages, what happens when they do?

    Basically you download the toolbar from their site. Then you go to your site and bookmark it. The nice thing about Stumble Upon is that you can basically write a sales pitch for your site. Your site then goes into random rotation and is served up when people click the next site button on the toolbar. People can vote thumbs up/thumbs down for your site and offer comments about it.

    I had a couple of my other sites on it and it did provide a good bit of traffic. The main thing though is to make sure your content is good enough to tempt people to come back.

    I really like StumbleUpon mainly because you can find some cool sites to visit. Anyway, good luck :)

    Is the rotation random? I thought I read somewhere that your sites are displayed more if you participate more (stumble others sites more etc.)

    you can also pay for stumbles, you get quite a good amount of traffic that way.

    I created a new site and only stumbled it myself. I got on average 30 uniques for about 5 days.
