Have seen a few posts here and there about getting traffic via Stumbleupon and thought, "Oh, yeah, Stumbleupon. I remember that." I joined about two years ago and have given the thumbs up to over 400 bits.

So I went and added Daily Kicksplode to my thumbs up bits, stating up front that it was one of mine.

Boom. 1200 visitors arrived. Nice.

Now, before anybody gets all excited and starts bombarding Stumbleupon with their own sites, I would caution you as follows:

1. The "Don't Be a Dick" rule is a no-brainer. If you show up, register, and post your site and then leave, no one will ever pay attention to you, I wouldn't think. We never allow that crap on the Gabfest, the hit-and-run promotions nonsense, and I'm sure the Stumbleupon community won't put up with it either.

2. If you're going to use the service, then use it. And use it to your benefit. If you del.icio.us link something, Stumble it too. The people who run the sites, if they're smart, will appreciate you doing so.

This has certainly got me active again on Stumbleupon because it gives results, obviously. And I like what gives results.

I should have a report on Project Wonderful here in a couple of days.
