The original StumbleUpon tutorial describes an older social-discovery workflow. Its useful lesson is to connect relevant people with useful content, not to revive a historical badge as an SEO tactic.
Separate the audience and the counter
A discovery service can send visits without producing a customer. Review whether the audience fits the page and whether the destination fulfils its promise. A vote or share is not proof of a ranking benefit.
Review current distribution options
Check the actual service, account and rules before adding third-party widgets. Old toolbar and button instructions may no longer apply. Use a channel the team can maintain and the audience actually uses.
Keep the content useful
A clear resource and appropriate promotion provide a better basis than a mass-submission routine. Measure suitable visits and actions where available. No bookmarking technique guarantees backlinks, search positions or revenue.
