I doubt it'll be a great draw to my main website, but it was fun to do. So now I know how it works. Now I'm going to try a second one with products relevant to my industry. Figure if I screwed it up, it would barely point to me. LOL! Well, I just finished a Squidoo lens on social bookmarking. I doubt it’ll be a great draw to my main website, but it was fun to do.

I haven't been doing much with SU lately but all my experiences are pretty good regarding the traffic SU sends. This case is a good reminder to keep an eye on SU! Thanks!

I have been thinking about using Stumbleupon since very long to promote my blog. Your post has helped me get closer to make a decision in their way. I may setup a campaign pretty soon.

I would've thought that Squidoo would had won this vote, but from what you're saying, that's not the case with advertising. Gives one a lot to think about.

The links are highly relevant and the audience has participated in whether or not they are seen. It would be nice if Seth held his ground on this one because it is an excellent example of how there really isn't an easy litmus test for paid links.
