StumbleUpon has the potential to generate some massive amounts of traffic to your site in a very short period of time. Zen Zoomie’s place has been stumbled a few times already in its short life. One thing I’ve noticed already is that the traffic coming from StumbleUpon has a very low attention span..visitors don’t typically stick around and read a lot of other content. But it’s one of many tools you have available to you to increase traffic, exposure, and visibility of your blog.
I came across the below idea at www.Darin.cc and it looks like it’s worth a try to me. If you want to add your blog to the StumbleUpon trust train, follow the directions below and when you comment on this post with your URL, I’ll add you to the list.
I’ll report my results in next week’s Saturday Site Stats Report for Chronicles of a (Wannabe) Pro Blogger.
******* Start Copying Here *******
Here are the rules:
1) If you don’t have a StumbleUpon account signup for one, if you do have a Stumbleupon account download the toolbar (it will make this much easier!)
2) Write a short introduction paragraph about where, and how you found the StumbleUpon Trust Train and include a link to the blog that referred you to the list.
3) COPY the Rules and ENTIRE List below and post it to your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the amount of keywords your site can be accessible for, go ahead and change the titles of the blog. Just don’t change the links of the blog.
4) Take “My New List” and move them into the “The Original List”.
5) Add 3 Blogs that you’ve just Stumbled to your StumbleUpon Trust Train to the “My New List” section.
6) Vote “I Like It!” for all the sites on the StumbleUpon Trust Train!

My 3 months old blog has 70% of traffic coming from StumbleUpon. It’s very unpredictable… Sometimes after I submit new article I get 2k visitors from SU in a day, for some submissions I hardly get 200… What’s even worse, 90% of visitors stay on site for 10 seconds… So while SU is good for building traffic, I found that the value of that traffic is quite low. That means, don’t rely on SU even you get good traffic from it - use as many ways to build traffic as you have time for…

SU has good referrals but a bad interface. I like del.icio.us, but it definitely seems like more people are stumbling around the internet.
