As I mentioned in a previous post, the number of fans  you have in your profile plays a crucial role in getting more exposure for your new story, and no matter why you are using Stumbleupon, getting more exposure for your story should be one of your goals.

So more exposure for your profile page has two benefits:

1- People may add you to their friend list and eventually that will help you to get more traffic for your stories.

2- Your favorites will have more exposure which means more traffic for your story.

Before telling you the trick I need to tell you a reality; the buzz page of Stumbleupon gets the highest traffic on the website,  the reason behind that is very simple : “Each stumbler has a direct button to the buzz page through his own profile”

If you checked this page carefully you will see a clickable avatar beside each of the top stories, and if you look inside the  story’s page you will find that this avatar doesn’t belong necessarily to the story discoverer, if you carefully review those avatars and match them with the story page you will find that this avatar belongs to one of those written a reviesion on the story page (not just stumble the story).

The question now is how does stumble decide which avatar to have beside each story between those written a reveiosn .. As mentioned before you need to write a revision about the story, but the second important factor is to have a long reveision

So go to the buzz page and write a reveisio, try to make it as long as possible with less spam, taking in account that stumbleupon has a button to evaluate each review.

I hope guys you will use this trick to add more value to Stumbleupon not to increase the spam load on Stumbleupon
