    Is Stumble Upon Worth it and how does it work? I have heard a lot about this program, but ahve never used it. Can someone explain it to me?

    StumbleUpon is being patronized by many webmasters now; some reporting varying successes.

    Stumbleupon helps a lot in terms of traffic, but of course you have to work for it!

    It is a lot of work, agreed. Currently StumbleUpon is my biggest overall referrer. I'm not sure how well it's converting to repeat visitors, but I'll take it right now.

    It's easy to add your site to stumble once you have the toolbar installed. I'm not on the computer that has stumble on it, and I can't remember how from the top of my head. But it is pretty easy, because I kept stumbling sites by accident. I added yahoo mail to stumble multiple times.

    Be sure that your site is interesting before you stumble it. Try to make the main page appealing, because people won't stay or give you a good rating if your site is boring.

    I've found some pretty cool sites through stumble, but I want to work on mine some more before I submit them.

    1. Install the Stumbleupon toolbar.

    2. Visit your website.

    3. Click the "I like it" thumbs up button on the Stumble bar.

    Thats' it!

    StumbleUpon chooses which new webpage to display based on the user's ratings of previous pages, ratings by his/her friends, and by the ratings of users with similar interests. i.e. it is a recommendation system which uses peer and social networking principles. There is also one-click blogging built in as well. Users can rate, or choose not to rate, any webpage with a thumbs up or thumbs down, and clicking the Stumble button resembles "channel-surfing" the web. Toolbar versions exist for Firefox, Mozilla Application Suite and Internet Explorer.
