In many ways, StumbleUpon is very similar to Digg. Users rate content based on how valuable they find it and if they think others will want to read and learn from it as well. In order to get the most out of StumbleUpon, make sure that the content that you are sharing is valuable, that your site is worthy of a thumbs up and that you spend time providing feedback and thumbs up to sites you value as well.

Here are a few tactics that you can use to maximize your StumbleUpon efforts for your business.
- Complete your profile thoroughly. Your profile will help the StumbleUpon database identify which niches are of most interest to you and what you will likely have to offer visitors. In addition, when someone clicks on your profile, you want them to have a good idea of who you are and what interests you.
- Install the StumbleUpon tool bar. When you review a site that is of interest to you, you can add it to StumbleUpon via this toolbar. Your StumbleUpon friends will then also be alerted that you have added new content.
- Be active. Stumble around, add links, review sites and give thumbs up. Always remember to reciprocate and thank the people who stumble your blog posts.
- Diversify. Regularly add content, photos, video and audio. The more diversified and interesting your content is, the more traffic you will receive.
