Many newcomers in the world of Bloggers and Social Bookmarks don’t know how to stumble or digg. In this post I will try to help you with the StumbleUpon Toolbar and try to explain you how easy it is to use. You need to know that whenever you stumble a site or post, it will have more chances to show on the first site on StumbleUpon. When site that you stumble or post has a lot of stumble points, then it will be shown on the first site on StumbleUpon, that means that it will get more than 30000 views. So I advice you to make some friends that you will help them to stumble their posts and they will help you back.
