DISQUS

Paid Survey Website · 2 years ago

Personally I Stumble articles for a variety of the reasons you noted such as it's good article, I want to share it with others, to build relationships or to market or promote a site. StumbleUpon can be quite powerful if you have good content to share with others...like Andy Beard :)

Reason #26: Because they accidentally hit the thumbs up button instead of the "Disable Cookies" button on their jam-packed toolbar.

- Recipient of a Category #3 Stumble.

Hello Andy,

I'm very flattered to be on your list at #25 but I do not get the point. Maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker in English: What's "auto stumble"? Basically I would have preferred #24.

On the other hand, the two most frequented articles by SU users at SEO 2.0 are:

and

For the Toolbar there is an options panel
Under configuration, there is an option to "Stumble After Rating"

In this way you don't have to thumb up, and then hit Stumble, you can just use the up or down thumbs.

There are a few other options there, plus for the hardcore there is another tab for keyboard options.

The reference was nothing specific to your article, but vaguely related, and I haven't really seen many people talk about it.

Andy,

I am curious as to which StumbleUpon channels you belong to. I write a blog about the latest trends online, currently focusing on blogging, social media and podcasting. I never know which channels to belong to. I also write a blog about massively multiplayer online role playing games, so I joined the Online Games channel. But I hate the flash games sites that I always stumbleupon.

Fred, I just use my friends suggestions most of the time

Hmmm... no link associated with "because they are a client"? ;)

Now that I am stumbling, I do so for all those reasons. I had that Stumble toolbar installed and never used it until I started reading Sphinn. What was wrong with me?

AndyBeard · 2 years ago

Well I don't personally have any clients, well other than the very limited consultation with Blogcatalog (whose site is performing badly today, no idea why) - I also didn't feel it was fair to link thrugh to someone with that term, or the "because they asked" because that might imply something.

I have never thumbed up something just because someone asked me, it would still have to meet other requirements.

@Andy: I sort of figured that you didn't have a link on that reason because people might think you were suggesting something! I just got a kick out of that unique feature.

Thanks for the link too!

Andy, great list, especially liked no 4 :D 12 is a good reason too of course, but I confess to an ever so slight bias on that front.

stumble's network and concept is good..like minded people sharing same interests so unlike digg people are interested for what their friend stumbles.

But stumble upon visitors are like auto surfers who come read your post and in a second move to next site that they need to stumble.

I didn't even know there was an auto stumble feature? In any case I give the thumbs up to stuff I like, or posts that look like people have worked hard on, or people that have been nice to me :P

Thanks Andy for your list. I am quite new to Stumbleupon, as well as the blogosphere, and am curious if you have compiled a list of how to get people to "stumble" onto your website?

For me it's mostly #1, #3 and #13.

I like it - I stumble it.

Relationships, followers and friends develop naturally anyway.
