I recommend you put the StumbleIt button ON your website. Any users that happen upon your site will then be aware that they can "stumble it" directly.

The Stumble link looks like this:

Code:

http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http://your-URL.com&title=Title%20of%20your%site


note: the %20 = an URL encoded whitespace

I believe there is a page on Stumbleupon.com that has the details on how to do this with their image icons too.

This form of linking also applies to del.icio.us too and other social bookmarking sites.

Another option is to purchase sponsored Stumbles directly form StumbleUpon. I did this last week and it got me nearly 1000 new visitors over the day that I ran it on. Unfortunatly for me the "bounce rate" (the people that just carried on stumbling rather than staying on site) was quite high, and not really worth the money I spent (even for a non-profit website like mine).

If you still want to look into this, see their advertising offering: http://stumbleupon.com/ads

P.S Why have you posted this thread twice?
