Hi, Here is a sure fire way to end up in the SU graveyard: I noticed yesterday that my site(http://designreviver.com) was not receiving any traffic from SU. So I browsed to one of the SU pages of my posts and there was a message stating that my site was unavailable. This was obviously a mistake because my site was up and running. Also, it won’t allow any of my new articles to be stumbled because it says the site is unaccessible. I have been trying to get through to somebody at StumleUpon to get the issue resolved, but can’t make any headway. Has anybody else experienced this problem?

Thanks for this post Tim! I’ve always wondered about that, and wasn’t sure if a review was important or not. Personally, I review every site I give thumbs up to, basically because I think it’s the right thing to do. Turns out, it’s more important than I thought. Anyway, I stumbled and reviewed this post:)

Hmmm...good to know Tim. I was wondering why a lot of our pages did not show a discoverer (and were often mis-catagorized). I also believe it might be happening when I hit the "reviews of this page" button to see if anyone has discovered a post yet. Several of our top posts have actually been discovered by "someone", so it is possible to be rescued from the "graveyard" by having quality content that people like. I would be interested to know the difference in what could have been if the discoverer was listed. Oh the site is realitycrowd.com if anyone is interested. Our top "graveyard" post is one about quantum physics that has risen from the dead to get about 3000 hits from SU.

@ian check out the StumbleUpon Math post your idea has some grounding. @JoLynn I try to avoid all buttons or links to review pages on StumbleUpon including Feedflare not sure how much use such things get, maybe an idea for some tracking there. Basically you want the user to use the toolbar nothing else, of course a link to your profile never goes a miss.

Hi Tim, thanks for the details on this issue. One question I have….in #4, you suggest that you don’t put a SU button on your page….what about the gregarious plugin for wordpress, is that OK? Also, what about using the feedburner feedflare….it shows up in either your feed or at the top of your post if you use their code. I used to have the feedflare at the top of my posts (gave options to stumble, email, or save to delicious), I don’t have it enabled right now, but I am using gregarious at the bottom of my posts. Thank you very much!
