Getting many stumbles is what many people want for their blogs but then maybe some people do not do much to remind you that you should stumble . Great post.

It's a community ~ you have to participate a bit before you get the benefits. It's always best if someone else stumbles your site, but it just takes time and activity.

I've recently joined and stumbled a few sites my own included and read others that I discovered on stumble. Maybe I just don't understand how it works but I kind of sick of this stumble thing and all the other sites they hype up.. The bookmark sites I come across by accident are the one that work for me...really work. So yeah..I'm being stingy from now on because stumble is stingy with me. Stumble don’t work for me.

No, I would have actually bookmarked had I wanted to, I was just saying that "I liked it". The secondary reason I don't thumbs up, is out of pure selfishness. If I find a site that I really like, and it's contents are free, and I plan on going back to that site, it may not be in my best interest to increase traffic to that site by stumbling. Niche sites that are stumbled, can often overrun their bandwidth limitations via a lot of referrals, free sites can often be "forced" into being pay sites either via supply and demand, or by hit-count greed. It's really sad, but sooner rather than later, stumbles will be spam, much like diggs are becoming. The ENTIRE internet wants attention, and most people that run sites for a living would like some money for it. The next trillionaire, or maybe first, will develop something that StumbleUpon tries to do, without all of the spam/inanity/bugs/marketing/prejudice/banality/redundancy/monotony, IF they can get us to pay for it. Good luck Jackass. The primary reason I don’t give as many thumbs up as I could, would be that Firefox (or maybe SU)decides that I have “bookmarked” that site.

Until recently I just didn't realize how much difference just a few stumbles can do. Now that I know it only takes a few I will definitely be more aware of the stumble button. Richard @ excellent idea. Pretty fun way to wake up, giving people stumble love. I tend to get carried away and to stay focused on the task at hand I have been setting a timer. It keeps me moving through instead of getting sidetracked. It's working great and I'm getting so much more done.

I choose a keyword related to my job of the day or client who needs help and bound around. Helps me get into the mood, as it were.

I also have to remind myself to hit the thumbs up button. Some days I do it automatically every time I find something cool, other times I forget completely and plenty of gems slip by unstumbled. When I think of the benefits my own blog gets when a couple of people stumble, I should make more of an effort to make it an essential part of my routine rather than an occasional thought.
