The other day I noticed I had over 100 people currently visiting my math site. "Wow," I thought, "a couple of school classes must be looking at my site." The next day I noticed the same thing: over 100 people visiting the site. The day after that, again, triple digit visitors. Time to see what's going. So I ran a referral report and discovered Stumble Upon at the top of the list. After some investigation, I learned Stumble Upon was a toolbar extension for Firefox that allows you to randomly go to sites that other have rated favorably. I decided to give it a try and within moments was addicted. You click the "stumble" button and you’re taken to a web site that you likely would have never found on your own. (It helps that when you install the toolbar you get to indicated the type of topics you're interested in.) Likewise, when you find a site you like, you can click "I like it," making it a candidate for other stumblers to find. If you use Firefox, you should use Stumble Upon. Best Browser add-on ever.
