Stumble Club: June 21-22, 2007
Posted by iluvmonkeys2 • 6/21/07 • Subscribe to this Discussion [RSS] • Report This Topic
Welcome to this edition of our bi-daily thread.
Mission: Receive Stumbles on our newest posts, and Stumble without 1) digging through overly long Stumble threads; 2) wasting time backtracking from pages we already stumbled.
Guidelines reminder:
To make it manageable for everyone, please respect a 3-post limit per day for this thread. Each thread is "current/active" for two days, to be fair to all time zones. If you have the time, please check in on the previous edition to stumble later posters you might have missed - but, don't leave a comment (we'd like to keep the current edition on top).
No duplicate links, please. Duplicates defeat the goal of saving time. Please post different links (blog entries) each time.
Honor code applies. Based on our experience, members pop in here as schedules allow to Stumble those who've posted after them. We're a great group!
Your Stumble Club thread ambassadors,
Lisa and Adria
and with that here are mine to get things started:

I've only been doing this for a couple of days and am noticing a definite trend. Apologies if this is well known but it was news to me... When I first started stumbling I didn't realise that you were not meant to review your own pages, and I had seen a few bloggers recommending that you do so. I wrote reviews for a handful, not all, to see what would happen. I got little traffic for them.
Now, when they get stumbled by people following this thread they do *not* receive a massive growth in traffic. So today, for example, I asked for 3 pages to be stumbled. The two which I had reveiewed myself got a trickle of traffic. The one which I had not reviewed got loads. Similar story yesterday.
So it looks to me like SU penalises you for reviewing your own pages. My question is - how can you remove old reviews? As far as I can see it isn't possible, but I really want to particularly as I reviewed my own homepage and it is getting very few SU referrals as a result.
Anyone know what to do?-
can't really help with this too much...i DO know that according to stumbleupon's TOS, you are not supposed to stumble your on stuff...
i stumbled my own as well before i knew i wasn't supposed to...how to remove the stumbles though i can't figure out...i went to the help section and it says to go back to the page and click the green thumb's up button again (returning it to blue) and that will 'unstumble' it...i tried it on one of my blogs and it didn't work for me because the green thumbs up was already blue even though it shows it in my 'pages' list...
sorry i couldn't be more helpful... -
Actually one thing that I have noticed about stumbleupon is that you need friends to matter. If you have no fans your stuff isn't going to go far. The more friends and posts you have the more the 'Thumb up' is weighed. I had this conversation with a friend of mine who is a huge Stumbler and if she stumbles a site it becomes popular quicker then if I do. This is because your fans subscribe to your content.
So the trick is to get as many friends in sumbleupon as you can. And use it a lot. I just past my 1,000 stumble point!!! I love the site. -
Terrymundo: I'm sure you're right about the number of friends you have making a difference. SU will want people to get involved with the community. However, I'm talking about the difference in numbers of referrals when basically the same group of people (i.e. this list) are stumbling two posts. The post which I didn't initially review gets about 40x the number of referrals, even though the people stumbling are the same. I reckon (and this isn't scientific, just based on a few observations) that it's because the posts with my reviews are being penalised.
iluvmonkeys2: Have you found that the pages you reviewed yourself don't respond so well to being stumbled by others?
-
All stumbled. I will check in throughout the day and stumble others.

Are we not supposed to post the same link twice in the same bi-daily thread, or does it pertain to ALL posts in this forum concerning Stumbles?

Here's my three... ok, I am going to stumble all up above me now. Cheers -
I think I've stumbled everyone! BTW, anyone know what sort of increase in traffic to expect from being stumbled? I'm sure it varies, but I can't figure out why. One of my posts got stumbled by one person a few days back and I got great traffic from SU, while my post from today has 12 stumbles (from this stumble club) and NO traffic from other stumblers. (I can tell by the referring websites)
Just curious if anyone knows how this works? In other words, how can you increase the number of people that stumble upon your posts from outside of this stumble club?
Thanks!
-
I also suggest fitting your posts into different topics. For example, when incinq first stumbled me it fell into "financial planning" and later I someone stumbled me under "investing". I think the more categories you are spread out into the better chance your lottery numbers are worth something. Just a theory though...
re numbers: before being stumbled my avg day was ~30 visitors, today I'm at 336 (my high so far) and have nearly 4 hours to go.
-
Wow, maybe 2 days in one thread is a bit too much? Stumbling all of these sounds like a full day job
-
Here's mine, I think I'll have a full time job here! Thanks everyone!

I stumbled everyone above me, or at least I tried to stumble everyone. There were a few posts that I couldn't stumble. My thumbs didn't seem to be working. LOL! I will try again later. Problems were with TerenceChang, Confessing7girl, dharmagypsy7, Shawnlim,Johnoates, and gabotron. Will try you all again later...
-
Got everyone stumbled so far. I don't have any for today yet but I'll post again later. My blog is being operated on at the moment so I'm leaving it alone for a little while.
-
Stumbling along. Here's mine:

Here is mine. I'm about to SU everyone above. *stretch*

Lisa and I agree that, considering the popularity of the Stumble Club, it's a good idea to lower the daily link minimum to 1. We'll revise the greeting post of our next edition to reflect this. The schedule will remain bi-daily.
For the remaining day of this edition, let's be flexible and leave it up to the individual member. We can't go back and revise the greeting at this point, and there's bound to be some confusion tomorrow if members post before reading this far down.
Thanks, jungl and JournalWriter, for your input. -
Ok, all caught up... be careful not to overtag, members of SU community have been known to report wrong tagging and even give you a thumbs down. Just a suggestion.
-
You should definitely tag, otherwise it will get lost in the shuffle... just don't over do it and make sure it pertains to the topic in question.
it might be better to choose a catagory since you know it's in the Stumble Upon topics... but if you know i.e InCinq... it's a blog and its about art, poetry then you can put that... just don't go into SEO or anything like that. lol -
wow, the list is getting longer.
I've stumbled everyone else.
Whats the max traffic u guys can get from doing all these? -
link me and I'll link you back... kahlees.wordpress.com
send me a message letting me know you've done it and tell me the link to your site so I can add you to mine -
Here goes June 22nd links...thanks to everyone who stumbles!

Though I appreciate the effort to instill order, most of me thinks it's a lost cause, as so many people simply start their own "stumble me!" threads. Then again, I'm a pessimist... -
-
I just noticed that some people will leave their post to be stumbled yet do not stumble the other posts listed. I thought that there was a honor code in this thread. I hate to point this out but just to make it clear.. to make it fair you should stumble others if you want to get stumbled.

i noticed some have been submitting multiple times ... maybe we should set the limit or else it'll be tedious and unfair to others ...
is there a short-cut (fastest way) to check if your page are really being stumbled by others? just like the way digg shows now many dugg your pages?
cheers .... -
another to stumble plz..
www.geeksaresexy.net/2007/06/22/harry-potter-hacked/
A lot of you might find it of interest also
-
yes dharmagypsy7 & blogcabins ... i would think not everyone actually stumble everyone here as well, but i guess you've to trust they are not that nasty, but then ...
i think we should limit the link submission, say everyone can only submit 2 links (for example) ... more than that, start another threat ... -
Stumbled one and all...
please stumble me today and have a laugh at the video of Wilma, loved by so many here!
mrsnesbittsplace.blogspot.com/-
Mrs Nesbitt, perhaps it will be better to put your daily entry rather than your whole blog. I have already stumbled it.. so I will post it up there for you
mrsnesbittsplace.blogspot.com/2007/06/photo-of-day-22.html
-
-
all valid points kids...i just know that my honor is in tact...i stumble all entries as i said i would...the rest is out of my personal control you know? as stocktube said, it's about trust...
somewhere there's is a discussion thread with terencechang's stumble tool that you can add to your toolbar...you just click it to see who has stumbled your articles/posts...
stocktube, we have decided to limit to one link beginning with tomorrow's two day thread... -
Hi, i've stumbled every1 above.
eh, if can pls check c if i've stumbled u all, cuz i'm new in ur project here.. thx -
just wanted to let everyone know that, after some discussion, adria and i think it might be better to leave the post format as it is...
though we like the numbered list idea, we're concerned that the thread itself will be physically enormous...each successive post will be heavier than the one before it...by the end, members will be listing 100 or more links...we think the 1-post-limit will help take care of some of the existing problems with the post length...
the other thing is that there are bound to be posters who fall between the cracks...for example, if we have two posters on the thread at the same time, and they both continue the list by making themselves, say, #59... well, that messes up the whole thing...whoever happened to post a second sooner will be the one that's copy-pasted and continued...the other #59 will probably go unnoticed, and is bound to be unhappy when s/he comes back to realize that s/he's been bumped...
let me know if you have questions or other concerns...thanks! -
I believe I've stumbled all. If you think I missed you, please feel free to leave a shout on my profile page.
I'm late posting my link today, so realize that not everyone might see to stumble. If you happen to be dropping by late, please thumb up:
incinq.blogspot.com/2007/06/girl-26-miami.html
The new edition will go live in about 12 hours.
Wishing everyone a fabulous weekend...
-
haha.. that's me! I love it Adria.. thanks... I was actually targeting one member who blatantly does this.. not by mistake... or miss one or two.. he literally does not stumble anyone else. So I decided not to participate in any more stumble trains. I will of course Stumble the ones I read often.. Adria and Lisa.. you are on that list so absolutely no worries but I am tired of stumbling blogs that I just don't think are there yet or I have absolutely no interest in. So I vow out gracefully. I have however Stumbled everyone up to this thread. Cheers

Stumbled allll from my last visit
Well done ladies for maintaining this post and containing all the havoc
Here's my post today
secretofunlimitedprosperity.com/35/law-of-attraction-when-should-you-give-u...
Tag: "Give Up" "Quit"
One way to control the length is 1 link 1 day policy on a 1 day length discussion. It's cleanest that way. Just like technorati fave, sometimes you just don't get fave back and it's tough to check who stumbled and who did not.
Plus you can get genuine stumble and still don't get any traffic because the stumbler does not have any friends. So guys, go invite some friends :). -
Hmmm... Since I pull out of stumbling yesterday. I bet that I have missed some people. I have stumpled over 200 pages. I know what pages that I have stumbled, because I have all the pages stumbled bookmarked. I can one click and tab browsing them.
As I stumble more pages, I have found that you are not helping the person to gain traffic, you are actually hurting their traffic if you don't stumble it right. So I started over again by reading all the page and put down review. It will take a lot of time to complete. It's friday, anyway.
Have great weekend everyone! -
Here's mine:

I will go back and stumble all that I haven't yet -
Hey guys/gals,
I'll be out of stumble connection for 2 days. Now enjoying a short chalet stay at a resort with family. I still have connection but without the stumble toolbar. Will return all favors accumulated when I get home. Enjoy your weekends too.
Hugs

Karenlim:
You don't have to download the toolbar. Use the bookmarklet will do the same thing.
www.terencechang.com/2007/06/21/stumble-a-page-without-stumbleupon-toolbar-...
you just need to login to StumbleUpon before review a page.

Lisa and I are thrilled to announce that the Stumble Club is moving to new digs!
If you would like to continue participating, please go to:
