How to use Stumbleupon for blog traffic?

Stumbleupon.com requires no introduction for all of us bloggers. However, we all need to use it to the optimum to get free targeted visitors to our blogs.

I am using Stumbleupon.com since its very beginning but I have realized I am not doing it the correct way. Below are some points I have learnt from a few online blogs and SEO forums.

* We have to change the title and description while stumbling our own content. We generally use the same blog post's title.

* It is not advisable to stumble our own content always.

* We must spend time in Stumbleupon.com to actively look for some of our interests and stumble them leaving an useful note for the benefit of others.

* Show genuine interest in others' content and build a lasting network. Stumbleupon is not merely a social bookmarking site. It is a big community of people from all over the world with varied interests.

* Visit Stumbleupon.com at least once a week and spend a minimum of 15 minutes to browse, add friends and stumble their content.

Stumble upon exchange.

To be frank, I don't know if it is legal and ethical.
Stumble upon exchange is a website where we all can register for free, add our blogs and websites and have them stumbled by other StumbleUpon users.

How it works.

You earn "Points" by stumbling other user's sites and you use them by posting your site to be stumbled and having your own site stumbled. You can verify each stumble before you reward Points. You are given 3 Points on sign up, which you can use to post your site to be stumbled. Each stumble they give you cost a point, but once you verify they've stumbled your site and given them a Point back you get a Point. This way the stumbles keep coming as does the traffic!

I joined sincerely but could not find the rare commodity-time to do the work.
Share it with others if you like this concept.

I owe gratitude to another blogger whose name I forgot unfortunately.

The traffic potentiality of Stumbleupon.

This person Doshdosh continue to amaze me. The energy with which he blogs cannot be gauged. He writes every article with ardent passion. Even a dumb person like me can understand his blog posts and use it personally without anyone's help further.

Yes, I too, like millions, have installed 'Stumbleupon' toolbar but so far I have used it to give my 'Thumbs up' only 19 times.

I just finished the article on Stumbleupon by Doshdosh and exactly after three seconds, here I a writing about it.

After reading his tutorial, I checked all my blogs url by typing them one by one on Reviews by Stumble upon.

I am naturally not shocked to find none of my blogs listed there. It means, none has bothered to say 'I like it' to stumbleupon.

Heeding the suggestion of Doshdosh, I stumbled my own blogs and checked it immediately after in their Reviews by Stumble upon. It was there happily staring at me.

Like we the mybloglog members reciprocate visits, exchange links, exchange Technorati favorites only through messaging, there is an exclusive website to exchange stumble between bloggers.

May I now invite my readers to exchange stumbles? There is no point in making the request in the comments sections here because many may have more than 5 blogs. (I have 6 blogs, hi hi hi..)

My email is shown at the top. Please send in your requests.

Thank you comrade Doshdosh. You are simply a darling.
