I know from personal experience both from paid advertising with them and from tagging site pages w/ SU. SU users seemingly blind to content, haphazardly click their toolbar's Stumble button visiting websites at speeds up to 10 sites a minute. Zero to minimal prequalified visitors is the norm - and you can forget about any conversions - it's a celebration of mindlessness. Their tagging system is a complete joke - you can only see 7 sites for any given tag - sometimes none. Sites disappear only to be replaced by those maybe a year older without even any reviews. Searching SU is even worse - results contain a mishmash of irrelevant nothingness. Stumblebutt has a really good thing going - for them that is - they sell advertising for a nickel a click - and with millions of users they're making a killing. Only problem though is that advertisers get zip in return for their money - only elevated uniques in the site stats - no sales, no comments, no clicks, no conversions whatsoever. Essentially, Stumbleblunder sucks. There are far more productive and measurable means by which to garner traffic - read - visitors that have conversion potential.

My favorite (main) topics or tags are: Travel, Budapest, Hungary, Europe... They aren't very popular tags and just a poor traffic generated by SU. So I'd like to complete this brief writing with one thing: If your site is relevant to a very popular tag, and has been tagged under it, than you have better chances to gain big traffic, but with that there's a problem: less and less genuine tags will be in use. Sites will be tagged under popular tags... Otherwise It's cool ;) Thanks again, DNYL http://dnyl.stumbleupon.com/ Thanks for the Diagrams & for taking the time to make your brief researches to figure out this great theory :)) !

Very important if you want to be part of the community; other wise Stumble will have a limited effect. This article is right on the money, I keep getting hit weeks after the initial stumble weeks later. You do have to have content that stands out like my reminiscing site http://www.yourememberthat.com/ and repetition sure helps. StumbleUpon is the reason my site has become so popular within 5 months. I do get a great deal of members from them. Now, has anyone figured out Digg or delicio?
