[...] Social Traffic Club: If you are going to Use StumbleUpon, then let me recommend that you start up a Social Traffic Club. These are people you get together with on the basis of promoting each other’s articles through StumbleUpon. You would need significant numbers: definitely more than 10 and somewhere between 20-100 is super. To make this work it might work something like this: a) Every time that you publish an article that you are especially proud of and/or you think can be very useful to other people, submit it to the social traffic club. b) All the members of StumbleUpon should have the Stumble Toolbar installed (check out the screenshot below) and if they read your article and like it, should immediately Stumble it. In order for this club to work, ONLY STUMBLE ARTICLES THAT YOU LIKE OR THINK CAN BE USEFUL. Social media sites don’t like people who just blatantly promote each other. This can work to reduce the ranking of all your Social traffic members over all. Personally, I am a member of Yaro Starak’s Blog Mastermind group which has a Social traffic Club that has been responsible for giving all my articles a Kick start on StumbleUpon. To learn more about how to fully leverage StumbleUpon, check out this classic blog post from One Man’s Goal. [...]

This is a good article for anyone who has tried out SU. Way to point out the inertia aspect of SU, by the way. There are still a lot of people who don’t understand it.

Great information. I wonder if Stumbles coming from the same web address have an effect?

I gave this article a Stumbleupon thumbs up. I get a lot of traffic from Stumble with very little effort. I just give a thumbs up when I like a site and occasionally I write a review.

StumbleUpon traffic definitely comes in waves. One of my sites typically only get 50 - 100 unique visitors a day. One saturday morning I woke up and checked Google Analytics. I already had over 1,000 unique visitors for the day, and it was still morning! Almost all of the traffic was from StumbleUpon and all of it to one page. However the traffic slowed down that night and went back to the typical 50 - 100 the next day. The total for that day was over 2,000 uniques.
