    Stumbleupon is good for traffic.But from my experience it will not pay much.

    Traffic generated from communities such as Stumbleupon (and Digg) tend to be short-lived and you will find it very tough to get those visitors looking at more than one page of your site - though in my experience, I have had better conversion rates from Stumbleupon than from Digg.

    To gain some traction with Stumbleupon - a service I personally use and prefer - you need to become part of the user community and build connections with other users, so that they will be more likely to Stumble the sites you do. With all socially motivated communities, being perceived as part of those communities is critical. Take care not to be seen as someone who simply used these services for personal promotion as that will not be treated positively by others there. It's a delicate balance and not easy to get just right.

    If you want to attract more visitors from popular social bookmarking websites to your website or blog then you must make some friends there and vote their submitted item in return they will vote for your submitted item. This way you can increase the popularity of your news in the social bookmarking websites and get more traffic.

    Some social networking sites remove the submissions from members that do not actively participate in the site. You can vote and comment on the other posts, this way you become a recognized member and also get more views to your blog. You can also post your blog to blog directories, and other social bookmarking sites.

    Submit your site on different bookmark domains. After that you can get a good result

    One blog post submitted by one person isn't going to make much of an impression. If you want to 'fast-track' your way into stumbleupon legitimately you can buy advertising from them - http://www.stumbleupon.com/ads/
    BUT - stop and think if it's worth doing - stumbleupon surfers click and click and click - looking at each site for a second until something catches their attention for a moment, it's not a good format for promoting a business, really.

    Use as many social sites as you possibly can for a specific search term and you can pretty easily make the first page for that term, so long as it isn't one that is ridiculously hard.
