I have gotten many times more hits over the past week than I have had since I started my site in november. Traffic has gone thru the roof.
The more positive reviews you receive, the more people that stumble onto your site.
It's a great tool.
Some of the reviews have been interesting. They range from the "holy crap" kind, to the "This guy is nuts" kind of reviews. It does expose people randomly to info they never would have received otherwise. The vast majority of reviews are positive, and even the negative ones are useful when they are constructive. (one bitched about the formatting, and he was right. So I spruced it up a little)
It's just something a webmaster might find useful.

BTW, nice job on your site, which I first visited today. Good work.
I have no site - I don't even have a digital camera, and that's all I've got say about that.

Thank you.
Having a site is either a money maker, or a labor of love. The money makers take ads. I dont. But this isnt about me.
If you ever want to start one, it is not hard, but it is labor intensive in trying to have good content and improve the way a site looks and is organized. Using a paid-for template simplifies things, but I dont like the idea of paying for one. The free templates suck, imo. Most of them have flowers and/or pointlessly smiling people in suits as graphics.

I'm happy being an internet user and have no aspirations, or reason, to own a site, or manage one.
Simplifying, not complicating, is the goal here.

I recently made the perfect DVD combo: Freedom to Fascism, Keep and Bear Arms, Zeitgeist II & III.
All four are on one DVD and it is a great wakeup call.

This site and the tools it adds to your browser are most cool.
DO IT. I encourage ALL to download StumbleUpon and start using it.
I spent a hour having some serious fun as it stumbled upon sites I was interested in from the categories I chose. If you want your site or 4um to be included, you just give a thumbs up to it. All of us need to do this and plug 4um and our own sites.
Another thing I noticed is it is much like channel surfing a TV. Unlike google, which gives you a list, StumbleUpon opens a site and you can surf it or move on quickly and/or rate it as you go. Your ratings effect the next stumbles. After an hour your ratings start to have a effect on what sites come up. Seriously, this may be the next best thing to google when you just want to take a break and be shown random sites from your areas of interests.
A+
Besides, the more we thumbs up 4um and our individual project sites, the more times it shows up in StumbleUpon when others use the menu bar tools.
Enough said, now take my word on it. It Is Worthy.

It sure beats webring. I tried that once, and it doesn't work that well.
If anyone knows another similar site, please post it.
I dont think that you HAVE to download anything to take advantage of the traffic it generates. You just need to register to vote or submit your site.
