			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to increase traffic on your site (and really, who doesn&#8217;t?) you might want to consider the mighty <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/">StumbleUpon</a>. Most people who are signed up have installed the StumbleUpon toolbar in their browsers, and merrily hit thumbs up when they find a site or a post that they like.</p>
<p>One review I wrote got 7000 unique visitors from that review alone. The <a href="http://www.seedsforwealth.com/Blog/how-can-bacon-bring-loads-of-traffic/2008/">author </a> was so impressed that she linked to my page as a mighty stumbler. I make it a policy to stumble a post that has a link to my site or to a post on my site in it. Everybody wins.</p>
<p>If someone else has already reviewed your site, then with the toolbar, your only option is a thumbs up if you like it. The review is much more powerful. It only takes a few words, and a click, and Bob&#8217;s your uncle.</p>
<p>To accommodate those who would like to write a short review of your post, (even if it&#8217;s already been reviewed) there is a lovely plugin called <a href="http://www.tsaiberspace.net/blog/2007/07/15/slashdigglicious/">Slashdigglicious</a> that puts a bunch of social networking icons at the foot of each post.  If you have a page that you don&#8217;t want it to appear, like your contact page, just put the tag &lt;!&#8211;noslashdigglicious&#8211;&gt; in the page or post. (in code view)</p>
<p>Users just click the last icon on the right, and a review box will pop up. This will review the post itself, rather than the entire site. Write a sentence or two, add tags, and for pete&#8217;s sake, <strong>do not select yes for &#8220;adult content&#8221;.</strong> That will label it as porn.</p>
<p>If you would like me to invite you to StumbleUpon as a friend, just leave a comment or use my contact form stating that you would. It&#8217;s worth signing up for, and lots of fun to use the toolbar. I&#8217;ve spent hours stumbling and discovering new sites.</p>
<p>Okay, that will do it for some time. I just felt that the author of this plugin should get some recognition, since I&#8217;m so happily using it. Now I have all the WordPress stuff out of my system, there will be regular, goofy posts after this.</p>
<p>One more thing: <a href="http://www.bloggernoob.com/make-money-blog-link-contest/20/">This guy</a> is having a link contest going on. He wants to see how many links to his site he can get in a few days. The winner will be randomly chosen. Minimum prize is $50, maximum is $1000, depending on the number of links. He&#8217;s upping the prize by $1 per link. Stick a paragraph in your post, and get in on it. This is the guy I won $20 from before, and he paid promptly.</p>
