Someone put one of my hubs on stumbleupon apparently and I got like 550 page views in a day all of a sudden. However, I can't find it on there at all. I got the stupid Stumbleupon toolbar, went to the "all" feature, used the search... I've clicked every damn tag there possibly is to relate to it. I can't find anything but just random stuff.
Its my 3 steps to finishing a first novel one. It's this one:

Sweet, thanks. No clue how you did that. I was about ready to kick my monitor in.
Well I'm certainly glad that I stopped that from happening.
I just went to your Hub and click the 'View Reviews For This Site' button in my toolbar and whooolah, there it was. StumbleUpon is toolbar driven, so there's not really a whole lot of functionality on the actual website. As you saw, it can be rather confusing if you don't know a little bit about it.
They can send you some great traffic, but most of it doesn't convert well to ad clicks. However, it is a great way to get some backlinks to your Hubs, which is always a good thing.
Yeah, I was pretty confused with stumbleupon, as well. I created an account, and then just stared at the screen. I was completely confused. LOL!! I think I am starting to get the hang of it...

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?

I was getting quite a bit of traffic from Stumbleupon, but the last while I notice it hasn't been accepting my submissions from Hubpages. They say that it's to prevent people from abusing the sytem and just promoting one site all the time. Does anybody know of a way around this?

All,I would like to generate more traffic to my Hubs from outside sources, as it is my understanding that these are the folks that are more likely to 'click.' Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your reading my Hubs, too, but just want to add a bit more into the mix.Could someone please make a...

I don't want to appear ignorant, because I have not been a hubber for long, but can someone please define the meaning of the phrase "you have been stumbled upon". I was a little hesitant to ask unless it meant something bad.I have news about my Drs. appointment. The Dr. said it looks very...
