		<description>@sutco. I don&#039;t see the posts as favorites, but ever indication that I&#039;ve seen shows it does help with Authority. did you actually post to the SU blog. It does not work like a normal blog does, but once I stared doing this thne my Authority increases.

@mariam, Funny I&#039;ve never had a problem and I stumble almost all my posts. I do stumble other posts from sites that I find interesting or like and I also spend time at least once a  week just clicking the Stumble button to see what I find. One thing I&#039;ve found that is very relevant to the amount of stumbles is the tags you enter as well as the area you select. Some topics have a lot more users with those topics as an interest in their profile.

		<description>I actually claimed my stumble page too and I too don&#039;t know what the purpose of that was...  Then again, I have never stumbled my post &lt;b&gt;first&lt;/b&gt;.  If someone stumbles it for me and I know about it, obviously I have to give myself a thumbs up too.

The reason why I don&#039;t stumble my own post is that I think there&#039;s something in the algorithm.

If you keep on stumbling your own, you might not have that much stumble juice.  I noted this with various stumblers to my site (mostly blog friends).  Some who had never stumbled me will generate 100+ visits.  Those who had stumbled me before will barely generate a blip.

That&#039;s why I keep my stumble record varied and make an effort to put down comments.</description>

		<description>[...] If you&#039;re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!If you visit just about any Internet Marketing type forum, you will find people advising you to submit articles to directories such as Ezinearticles to build backlinks and traffic your website or blog. I will admit I followed that advice when I first started out, but I quit. Article Marketing is an okay practice if you are doing Bum Marketing and don&#8217;t have a website, but why would you just give out your valuable content? The links you get back are usally not worth anything and in my experience they rarely return your investment. Search Engine Journal has a great post on how to market your articles without using the distribution directories and their advice makes a lot of sense. Its your content and you should get the benefits of that content. If you are passing it out freely then you are just passing those potential profits off to a third party. i.e. You won&#8217;t see any money, and the backlinks and traffic you may gain from submitting the articles can be accomplished in other more creative ways for generating traffic.
