1) Produce unique content on your website
SU users love unique content. They’d comepte to thumbs up first something thats never seen or read. So if you manage to create unique content, half job done.
2) Don’t beg people to stumble, point them to interesting articles
SU users don’t like begging. They are a group of folks who just enjoy to surf the cyberspace and bookmark things for sharing. Never ever demand anyone to stumble your article. Instead, you may prefer to point them to good articles.
3) Thumbs up extra peoples articles
Always make a point that you stumble others articles and let them know that you have. At another point, they’d most likely reciprocate it to you.
4) Tag your stumbles correctly
Do not ever add together the incorrect tags on SU. It would land another admirer of yours in the wrong category while stumbling and that’s not a good thing. They could even stamp you as spammer if you excessively do it.
5) Write a numbered list resource
Numbered lists are hot favorites of social bookmarking sites, and SU is no different. Make one on your niche, make it look attractive for the first time visitors, make it lite and hilarious. The SU guys will like tit.
6) Use the “send to” option
See that teeny weeny option on the toolbar? use it to send “shouts” to friends and if you make it look natural as possible, it’s a great and efficient instrument.
7) Be what you want others to be
First think in other persons shoes. Behave to them like how you want them to behave to you. Simple logic.
Don’t stumble anything that takes more than 1 minute to read
SU users are quick readers they don’t want to spend time on anything. Probably a few seconds if the page is damn interesting, that’s it. So keep it short and sweet.
9) Pics are a favorite amongst stumblers
Flicks, all types of them. Funny, Photoshopped, Scenery, Photographies and so forth are hot favorites on SU.
10) Do not bug people
Do not ever annoy or bug people. Let them come to you, stop pushing your content to them.

SU traffic has a pretty high bounce rate if you ask me, however it does help to improve my Alexa ranking with an occasional spike in traffic.
