    We all know about stumbleupon and how it can draw you short bursts of traffic. Over the last few months, i've been monitoring my Stumble traffic and i've noticed some weird things with the amounts you get.

    I've posted a new article on my site each day, each post is then submitted to stumble upon. The traffic has gone the following way:

    This is the amount of people just from stumble visiting my website.

    Day 1: 103
    Day 2: 97
    Day 3: 76
    Day 4: 101
    Day 5: 784
    Day 6: 40
    Day 7: 20
    Day 8: 11

    It goes on like that, but if you notice on day 5, i had 784 Visitors from stumble. Now the article itself was nothing important, it was just a post about a site update i did. Now how could a post thats mostly unrelated with the site get more popular than a well written article about the site theme?

    I have been reading an article about Stumble Maths and it gives an understanding on how it could work.

    Anyway, what are your views about stumble upon? What tricks do you use to maximize your exposure?
