StumbleUpon Addiction for Business Research
Okay…I’ve promised at least 3 2 1 0 posts by weekend’s end, but I can’t get away from my StumbleUpon, after yesterday’s post.
Curious, who’s StumbleUpon your website or webpage/blogpost?
Mark of MBlair.net shared some quick notes to help us out once again:
he link format to check your pages in StumbleUpon is this: http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/
For example, I added the full URL of yesterday’s post at the end of the above URL, like this:
http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/empowerwomennow.com/news-women-
entrepreneurs/index.php/stumbleupon-for-computer-dummies/
StumbleUpon Research to reach your targeted “Friends”
I look at the bios, then briefly at their likes and preferences (I haven’t even filled my out completely yet).
But, the most “telling” aspect of a potential “Friend”, is taking a look at all their Stumbles.
In the drop-down box of suggested search options are:
- Entire Blog
- Pages I Like
- Pages We Both Like (if you are a Sponsor)
- Discoveries
- People I Like
- People We Both Like (if you are a Sponsor)
- Stumbles
- Tag Clouds
- List of “keywords and phrases” each webpage is categorized in
StumbleUpon is a networking haven for Business for the following reasons:
- You can develop critical joint venture partnerships.
- You can view trends and interests in your potential clients, by seeing what webpages they feel worthy on ’stumbling upon’, for example a great “how-to” guide, or a service catering to their needs,
- You can find matches on dozens and dozens of topics, such as “Entrepreneurialism”, age range, gender, or city and state. I can’t believe how many Toleodoans I found!
- I’m actively stumbling anyone I found who likes my resources, and finding that in my targeted searches, those I’ve stumbled are visiting.
- To learn how to attract a bigger network specifically for business purposes, read the Definitive Guide to using StumbleUpon for Business.
Aww…I’m blushin’ While writing this post, I got my own personal review, by a gentleman with thought-provoking questions…go figure, his ID: TheReporter reported nicely

Nice little article about how to use SU effectively. However, the writing needs to be a little cleaned up (typos, etc.) or this article won’t be taken as seriously as something a bit more professionally written. Just my personal opinion. I will still thumb it up, but please check your articles for typos.
Cheers,
