Just like Digg, Reddit, Sphinn, and all of the rest of the social bookmarking sites, you can integrate Stumble Upon on your site. As I have voiced many times over the past few months, StumbleUpon (SU) is my favorite tool for bringing traffic to my web pages. I have found that SU is much more democratic than Digg or Reddit (which seem to cater to the power of an elite few) and there is much you can do to control SU to bring about the results you want and need. Digg, Reddit, and Netscape have a tendency to overwhelm web servers while SU does a wonderful job of spreading the “good news” out over many hours, days, even weeks.

The SU Integration Tool

SU has an integration tool you will want to take a look at although if you have the SU toolbar installed it does the same thing. Still, with the widget strategically placed within any article (as I am doing here) you can encourage fellow stumblers to give your page a stumble. Why not tactfully remind your readers to give you a little SU help every once in awhile? I know that when I am reading a stumble-worthy article the widget is a nice reminder for me.

10,000 Favorites and 200 Members

This week I expect to hit two important SU milestones:

  1. I’ll have stumbled and given my thumbs up to my 10,000th page, and
  2. I’ll have my 200th and final friend join up.

Both milestones are important as I am spending plenty of time cultivating active stumblers and I am leaving behind lengthier reviews. Along with my ongoing StumbleQuest Campaign this collective effort is producing record traffic to my sites and is benefiting my circle of friends who are the recipients of my many stumbles. As the saying goes, “A rising tide does, indeed, lift all boats!”

So, if you are an active stumbler looking for mutual SU friendship, room for 7 friends is all I have left before I hit SU’s limit. Happy stumbling and I hope to stumble across your pages really soon.
