Getting the most out of Stumbleupon

Unlike Digg, or del.icio.us, you don’t need hundreds of votes to start getting traffic to your blog. Only two or three votes can result in hundreds of visitors to your blog or a single blog post. He's a summary from a  article I read:
1. Browse for ideas
A quick series of stumbles can be a good way to get your ideas. If you want to view results only from the topic you blog about, you can select this in your profile.

2. Locate great links
Connect with users with similar interests to open up a large collection of great links for you to explore.
3. Connect with readers
If you notice the same users repeatedly stumbling your articles then take the time to add them as friends, or message them to show your appreciation.

4. Connect with other bloggers
Voting for pages on blogs you admire. The more traffic you send to them the more likely they’ll be to investigate your profile and discover the face behind all that extra traffic.

5. Build your personal brand
When you're the first user to vote for a site ('discover' it), a link to your profile image and details will appear on the vote page for that item so make sure it's a good one as if your item goes viral then you’ll receive a lot of exposure.
