Stumbleupon is such an interesting beast. There are some people that share every single blog post – even some that are just a really mediocre photograph. No joke I don’t even see the point of putting something like that up on there and then sharing it.

I think sharing is fine but it’s true that you don’t want to go overboard.

I am going to make a bit more effort with tagging the stumbles. Never know when you will want to go back and look for things. Thanks for this info as I’ve been revisiting stumbleupon lately to see if I can increase some foot traffic (even though everywhere says that the traffic is useless)

Yeah, stumble upon is a great place to network, and share useful content among fellow bloggers but it gets irritating when you start getting so many repetitious spammy links on the toolbar. People always find some way to spam though. You pointed out some great points on this article, which are very helpful. Thanks Kristi!

Kristi,
An excellent collection of Do’s, Dont’s and Tips. Besides being a great way to get exposed to quality web content, StumbleUpon is also a very useful/powerful social media tool.

While many of the etiquette items should be common sense or common courtesy, they don’t seem to register with everyone. This post should be required reading for everyone signing up for an SU account.

Congrats! on producing such a comprehensive post that I will be sharing with many others. Part of the enjoyment I get from being a stumbler is being referred to so many great sites I never would have found on my own. However, as my health has been seriously compromised this summer I have found it very difficult to sign in daily, and when I do I’m feeling discouraged to see that I have 99 referrals times. I was one of the few who expressed concern when the the “share” feature was introduced. My concern was that it could become a spamming tool. Luckily, my stumble friends seem to be using it very selectively because if they weren’t I would be overwhelmed with referrals.

I have decided that I can do without Stumble and Twitter traffic. The reason is simple. This traffic bounces 100% of the time and no one has ever left a comment saying that they found our blog through these sites. I am looking for traffic that wants to be part of the blogs conversations or that needs, wants, and desires our services.

I am a big fan of social media sites that send quality traffic… I just haven’t found many!

Amen to this post Kikolani. You really struck some chords on this one. Two of my pet peaves. Expecting/Demanding Reciprocation Pushing for Promotion on Other Social Networks I have been aggressively unfriending people for these two things specifically.

Straighforward to the point, Kristi. I wasn’t aware about that multi-user accounts, which makes me wonder about the tendency for some people to trick the systems! #UGH #Fail

O.K. It’s a comment not a tweet to use the hash
