I'm glad you asked these questions. One project I have planned to take on during the holiday break was a continuation of this analysis now that it's been over 2 months.

Only this time, I'll be analyzing additional factors with stumbled upon and digg & also go beyond to take a look at all traffic sources.

A newsletter is also in the works in the near future. Thank you for stopping by & providing your valuable input.

How did it go? I would be curious as to other factors…how sticky was the traffic?

How many of your visitors were one and done vs. how many actually visited other pages?

Did you use a metric to determine how effective the traffic was in general like a newsletter, opt-in form or RSS subscription? How did it go?

After this experiment, I have been using SU just as you. I enjoy the community. I have not read Stumblerush, I'll have to google it. Thanks Ria.

I've been Stumbling for over a year but haven't really been scientific about it. Probably using it more "as intended." i.e., sharing and voting for pages I like. But you're not the first to recommend it. Have you read Caroline Middlebrook's StumbleRush? Great experiment! I’ve been Stumbling for over a year but haven’t really been scientific about it.

I understand that everyone visiting my profile or blog may not give reviews or stumbles. But how to present my page to them, is still a question to me.<br/>Yeah, friend list and sending pages to friends is not going to work in Stumble anyway.

You can have 1 friend, but a ton of stumbles. Also keep in mind that everyone that visits your site doesn't always give a review or thumbs up or down. The 67% traffic from stumble is a very good sign.<br/><br/>You can send your page to friends, by using the "Send to" option on the toolbar. This feature really hasn't really done much for me though.

Need to check with DIGG’s help as I started digging just yesterday.

Finally I need help in going with Stumble.

Thanks,

The biggest thing seems to be the content of what is submitted and maybe even a little luck. If you have a good article that appeals to others, it's more likely to catch. I still get solid traffic to one particular article I did.<br/><br/>You can click on my Stumbled Upon button (right side bar) and add me. I'll take a look at what you stumble and review it. Thanks Srini,

New to the both communities digg and stumble but will try learn something out of it...<br/>May be if you would know a good approach, let me know that...it helps me !<br/>Thanks,<br/>Srini. Brian,
