    Hi, I would like to know, what is better. Many stumbles to web homepage or one-two stumbles to every subpages?

    And the second question. Does anyone know, what is a maximum stumbles that can I do for one website?

    In the first instance, you should — over time — find yourself with votes for both the home page and actual articles.

    But the value is always going to be in the articles themselves, simply because when someone shares one of your articles, they can be sure that when the next person arrives, they're going to see the same thing.

    However, the same can't be said of your home page, simply because the content is cycling, or is a static web page.

    Does that help?

    I agree with Octane, also in my experience, specifc pages that i've stumbled have driven more traffic with lower bounce rates. I recently used stumbleudon on my "about page" instead of the home page. My traffic instantly jumped up 1000 uniques in one afternoon. You need an invite to use stumbleudon.com though.

    Why can't i stumble my own sites anymore? :/ When i stumble one of my sites they don't get added to my favorites. Is it a rule how many pages you can stumble per website ?

    I'd say specific pages -- it has been proven by StumbleUdon's members :D

    I would stumble upon interesting article pages. social networking people are people on a quick move. they never have time to think or look around. first impression is very critical. so make it simple and straight to the point especially the title.

    If a website content is dynamic, the stumbleupon votes would not count since the content gets renewed each day?

    Thanks

    Yes, there is a limit. You can still stumble but can not discover.

    Do you mean submitting your own articles for the first time, or thumbing one up once it's been submitted by someone else?

    If it's the former, you'll get away with that for so long and then you'll get a block, plus maybe a visit from the moderators.

    I know a few guys who this has happened to.

    BTW, for those interested in StumbleUpon, here's some articles of mine that have gone down pretty well:
    I hope you find them useful, guys...
