    You can buy ads from SU.
    They sell ads based on your site niche.
    It cost is cheaper than adword.

    Now here are the tips.

    1) Tag your site to the related category so that the visitor can expect what they will find in your website. Build a good, unique, and informative content.

    2) Use an eye-catching headline like “secret” or “shock”. The visitor will curious to know what is inside your website.

    3) Put the StumbleUpon integration code to every page in your site but do not stumble all your pages by yourself.

    4) Be a part of the stumble community so that you will know what they are mostly interested with.

    5) Prepare your site with “viral marketing technique” so that the number of traffic will double from the Stumblers. (free e-book or flash game giveaway)

    6) Ask your friend to “thumbs up” your site and you did the same to his/her website.

    7) Suggest your reader to try StumbleUpon and install the toolbar to increase the number of your pages got “thumbs up”.

    8) Add as many “StumbleUpon” friends as possible (the result is same as above).

    9) If you got many websites, link them together. If one of your website got stumbled well, the other site might receive the effect too.

    10) Optimize your website loading time. If can, avoid flash since not all browser can support the latest flash version.

    getting traffic from stumble can work for you so much but I think you should make webpages and send each pages to them to get traffic from the site.

    Candise made some great points. I have usually traded stumbles with people but I think I'm going to use some of Candise's suggestions in the future. :)

    Frostx, Candise explain how to use stumbleupon best. I wouldn't focus on trading stumbles though. I would focus on getting more and more friends on stumbleupon. Share articles (from your site) and articles (from other sites) and you will start to see lots of traffic flow to your site.

    The average time stumbleupon users spend on my blog is between 5 to 21 minutes. Because of this, I laugh when people say stumbleupon traffic is pointless.
