Thanks Brian for clearing up that Digg management did not move to stumbleupon. As I said in the post, I did not know.
As far as people trying to ‘game’ the system - I don’t know how they can ‘game’ SU. But SU can make it so they are not serving the internet population if they put tons of restrictions on. One of the goals is to be a social type web 2.0. If they black mark you for having friends and reading their stuff - isn’t that anti social? It would be like the city making a law that you can have a party as long as none of your friends come to the party.

Nobody from Digg is working for Stumbleupon. Stumbleupon is just getting their act together and getting rid of the spammers and people trying to game the system. Kudos to them!

Yes, yes, yes, who said this was going to be a PT venture??? It’s a good thing I was already unemployed when I started this home based business! I too find myself getting sucked in by the allure of the almighty internet. I have learned so much, now have to put it in high gear so I can actually use what I’m learning. Or, I could just keep writing without making any money! NO, don’t think so. Nice post!

[...] Stumbleupon Traffic - The DON’Ts - I love social news networks and dislike bannings (on Digg and Stumbleupon), but this post just seems a bit much. I know people love participating on these sites and are afraid of getting banned, but sometimes I think they freak themselves out. [...]

I love checking my stats on Technorati, lol. Posts that are “stumbled” often bring me a decent amount of traffic.

BTW, if you are having issues with your spam filter, try Akismet, I use it on my self-hosted WP blog and love it.

Thanks for the inspiration ~ perseverance does pay off, but yes, sometimes we all hit a wall. After all, as they say, ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day…’ As much as we all enjoy more traffic, there is joy just in expressing our thoughts.

Comment on It’s Holiday Time - start a tradition by Grandpa Shayne

My wife and I have several ornaments from our childhoods. We started the tradition of giving an ornament to each of our children while they were growing up. Many of these were handmade, which I think are the best kind.

BTW, Thanks for letting me link to your story from my blog.
