Please tell me how it works for you? All my bookmarks only seem to say 1 view next to them :S
I'm with you Richieb. Views on StumbleUpon only says 1 on each.
I do have traffic from digg and stumbleupon. It is decent from views. Most of my views, according to google analytics, come from natural organic search engines
StumbleUpon is okay for traffic, but not for clicks. I use it for sites where I get paid per impression, which is rarely.
The problem with StumbleUpon is that the entire mechanic is based around leaving through their mechanism. That means viewers are primed to A) click away quickly B) click on the Stumble button to see a new website instead of click an add, buy a product from Amazon, or read one of your links.
There's no reason not to use it, but I don't expect it to "work."
I don't receive a lot of traffic from stumbleupon, but I use it
That's me, too. 2 to 3 views and then it dies. I have to say, though that I do not really participate at stumbleupon, just posted a few links. It might be different if I went the whole social thing, making friends and lots of posts and all.
I've only had one article really take off there and I doubt I got any clicks as a result, but all the exposure you can get helps.
sometimes it works too well. I had to log out. I got too many visitors
In the interests of full disclosure: I’ve gotten ZERO stumble visits after I started this thread. Oh, well…

I find I either get almost no traffic from SU, or hundreds of impressions in a day. Anyone know why it works this way?

I was thinking of joining the stumbleupon website, to see if I could generate some traffic. I stopped there for a few mintues, it really doesn't seem much different than hubpages. It is kind of like Yahoo groups. I was just wondering if anyone has had any luck with it. Or if it is worth the effort.

I find Stumbleupon great for boosting traffic but am nor sure how to add the HubPages tracker in my URL. - Any ideas?

One of my hubs recently got a small flurry of hits from stumbleupon.com. Can someone tell me how and why that occurred on that hub -- and not on any other? Are you supposed to be signed up such groups to draw their readers?

Okay, so I'm still new to this whole hub/stumble/diggit stuff. Most of what I know I've learned from my fellow hubbers. But, I submitted one of my hubs to stumble this afternoon, and I've had 101 views from them so far. Just thought I would share--pretty crazy.
