3 More Stumble Exchanges That Every Stumbler Needs To See

Earlier this year I wrote about stumbleXchange and how it was pretty cool if you used it properly. Unfortunately, the site seems to have moved, and now it must be on a really slow server, because it’s way too slow to bother with.

But fortunately, another crop of stumble exchange websites has popped up, just waiting to aid your unscrupulous social media spamming efforts!

Take a look at them:

1. Stumble Exchange .org

A weird idea for exchanging stumbles, this is a Pligg-based site (i.e. it looks like Digg) where your submissions are links you want stumbled. You start by signing-up and posting a link. Then people stumble it and send you a message telling you they stumbled it, so that you can go stumble their page in return.

At first glance, it seems like a ton of work for each stumble, and there’s not much privacy. So if some sucker wanted to go “thumbs down” a bunch of sites, they could easily find a list right there on the home page.

Not to mention the site isn’t very active…

2. SU Exchange

More interesting is this site called SU Exchange, which is actually a points-based system designed for exchanging stumbles. The site boasts “926 users” and “22,381″ stumbles; that’s enough to make it worth joining.

3. Stumble Swap

But the best of the breed comes in the form of Stumble Swap. This is a new take on the stumble exchange concept that requires very little work - you don’t even need an account!

All you do is put in your URL and your SU username, and then you click a link and stumble that site. Once you’re done, just click submit and the system records your stumble and gives your URL to someone new to stumble.

It’s a genius system.

And of course, since we can’t get enough scamming and spamming, here’s a bonus site:

Stumbled Upon

This is a directory of sites that are or would be popular on StumbleUpon. In other words, sites that are “funny, good-hearted, well-motivated, weird or interesting” are included.

It’s probably hard to get in (because they actually review submissions,) but submitting your site is worth a shot if it fits the requirements.

What is not worth it, though, is paying for advertising there. It’s a whopping $10,000 per month! Supposedly they get 100,000 visitors a day, but that seems a little exaggerated if you ask me. And even if they do, do those 100,000 see your listing on the homepage?

Actually, they could, because the actual directory consists of a mere 5 categories with maybe a handful of sites in each one.

Now that I look into it, that site could be a total scam worthy of its own blog post! More research shows that the domain is from 1999, but the site wasn’t live until April of this year! That’s probably why it has very few directory listings.

But the question remains, would anyone get suckered into paying $10,000 a month to advertise on that site?!
