Rose,
StumbleUpon was the one that always had me confused (actually it still does). I mean one day my traffic was going through the roof and I knew it was coming from SU. So when I clicked the link in my stats it just took me to a page where they try to sell your their advertising package. If you ask me I think this should be considered spam. But I guess they got some kind of deal with Google or something so it’s not. LOL
Then Kristie from Kikolani.com told me that I needed to install the SU toolbar and click the info button to see who Stumbled the post. So now I’m thinking ULTRA spam right?? But I did it anyway (like I needed another tool bar) and found out that it was a total stranger and that all of the new traffic left just as fast as it came….
Well at least it helped me solve the mystery of SU and it also helped me decide not to waste my time on it anymore.
Thanks for these links. I used Blog Grader before but the others are new to me.

Like any other social networking site I think ones success involves spending some time getting to know other stumblers.

These were really fun to check out.
I especially liked the part where I found out I am no longer a “0″ page rank..

It was accurate in listing my PR. Just checked yours and it does say a 4. I wonder why that is.

Interesting stats. Blog Grader is informative. Google page rank 2, grader gives me 33/100. I need work. But this blog/journal is fairly new yet so might not be too bad. I’ll have to check in another month. Thanks for the info!
