I agree that you’re quite popular at SU. But I see that you take many factors into consideration before taking a decision to add friends.

I don’t really see it as a big deal to friend someone on stumble, as long as they have the same interests and as long as I don’t get the feeling that they are only trying to become more popular themselves …

I will do it occasionally, if it’s something I’m interested in.

I don’t just Stumble it because I’m asked to. :) I notice there are more and more of the “Spamblers.” haha! Anyone ever said that before? Just checked. I didn’t coin it! Oh well.

I haven’t actually asked anyone to Stumble any of my client websites. For most of them it’s really not appropriate. Maybe I will one day. I’ve certainly done a few favours for people in rating their sites. I don’t mind though.

If people send me good sites to rate and comment on, I will. I actually like to do it. :) My rule is that I won’t rate a site unless I’m going to comment on it. I think I’ve commented on every single site I’ve rated. Don’t think I’ve missed a single one. :)

Ads aren’t going to go away, but put them off to the side.

I wonder, do they actually work with anyone? I mean, do people befriend after receiving a message like that?

Btw, my 15-year-old-looking-girl avatar helped a bunch with SU (you were an exception really) ;)

The best way is to review other stumblers and praise those who deserve it: http://seo2.0.onreact.com/my-20-friends-at-stumbleupon

I have found StumbleUpon is one of the harder social sites to accumulate friends – which is a good thing because the friendship actually means something.

I am curious though, how did you go about getting so many fans? I am sure posts like this help. Any other tips?

Thanks!
