Does StumbleUpon Work?

I must admit that I am a baby when it comes to social bookmarking. I've been signed up for StumbleUpon for awhile but had never done much with it. One day I decided to amble on over there for awhile and explore it. Well, I decided to enter a site of mine that I didn't have on it (not this one). All I did was write a couple of sentences describing it and let it go at that.

When I checked my site's stats about two hours later I saw that I had over 300 visitors - most through StumbleUpon! Now that was pretty exciting, but I'm afraid they weren't exactly targeted visitors. But I think generating that much interest was worth it!

Here's my link to my StumbleUpon page and you can check it out from there if you like.
Happy stumbling!

I have had similar experiences with little "bursts" like that from SU.

Hey diane, great article on stumbleupon, socialnetworking sites are great for traffic, although most of thattraffic isnt indeed targeted, yet its a great way to get your blog "out there".
