StumbleUpon can be amazing for bloggers and you can see your traffic skyrocket within seconds of a blog post being shared. The only problem is that you need to find the right balance of your posts and liking other people's posts - it's a bit like Facebook in the fact you're not going to get anywhere if all you do is post your own stuff. You need to get involved.
The algorithm doesn't like it at all when you stumble too many posts from the same domain - it doesn't like self promotion. If it thinks you are, it will ghost your account (hide it). Stumbling every post you write, or every one from someone else's blog will do far more harm than good.
What is useful is becoming a Stumbler with "authority". The best way to do that is by having followers on the platform and making sure you actually Stumble a lot on the website and start liking other pages.
Rules of participation
If you want to take part then leave your StumbleUpon address and I'll add it to the list - don't forget to follow other people on the list because they'll be able to see if you haven't and reserve the right to not bother sharing anything you post.

- Post number 2 of this thread will be a list of Stumblers, I will keep this post updated as new people join and post their StumbleUpon profile link. Go follow them ALL. They will then follow you - helping to increase your "authority".
- Post any posts you would like to be stumbled. Don't forget though, that too many posts from the same domain isn't good for the other Stumblers which in turn isn't good for you. I suggest posts that you REALLY want to be seen such as sponsored posts, reviews, charity posts - I'm not saying that's all you should request to be Stumbled though (for those who don't do these in their blog).
- When you Stumble another TMS member pop a like on their post here just so people know what posts have and haven't been Stumbled.
