One of the delights of social bookmarking is when you see something you hadn’t submitted yourself take off even lightly.

I had that happen with a post on this blog and StumbleUpon. I got a sudden peak of traffic. Come to find out, someone had Stumbled my post What Tools Do I Prefer to Use for My Home Business? It was a real treat to Stumble across something of my own, when I hadn’t submitted it myself.

That is, of course, one of the delights of sites such as StumbleUpon. Even if you don’t submit something yourself, it can go somewhere for you.

You can Stumble your own pages, of course, but if you overdo it you risk your site being banned. I stumble my own stuff only on occasion. As I have more and more success, I expect to gain a better understanding of what appeals to each site.

In general, I think it’s posts and pages that are either pretty funny or very useful.
