Simply driving volumes of unqualifed traffic won't translate in to strong conversion. In this case, the number of visitors to the site through StumbleUpon and subsequent forums where the link was posted, drove up the number of people who subscribed to the RSS feed. But getting on to StumbleUpon cannot be reliable from a business standpoint in converting qualified leads consistently. One side benefit was the traffic drove up the ranking of this site, and subsequently made it easier for people interested in marketing and branding to find this site.

IE: if you're marketting something that has to do with optimizing effective use of time, getting on a website like lifehacker.com or lifehack.org will do much more for you in the long term then getting on the front page of digg and del.icio.us.

I guess one of the question is how did they find your article and how to do it again.
