Traffic from StumbleUpon

[Scott]

Recently one of my tutorials got "stumbled" by someone and during that day my traffic exploded with people using StumbleUpon. At the peak I had 266 from it over a time period of 5 minutes.

Now I have not had a visitor from StumbleUpon since that day... so how exactly does the traffic work because I got the impression that it would keep getting stumbled over time?

I'd imagine its much the same...people see it, think cool, move on never to be seen again.

I don't think that is the same because being posted on a site like Slashdot, Digg, or Reddit would put you to the front page and be popular while you are on the front page but then once you move on the traffic would cut off. Stumbleupon just goes to each site in a specific category, there is no front page or any point where you will really get noticed for being on a front page.
