How to find out which pages of a blog or website have been Stumbled

StumbleUpon! is one of my favourite websites.

It works by people voting and recommending websites they “stumble upon” by clicking on an icon on the StumbleUpon! toolbar. Newly Stumbled pages (rather than sites) will be given high priority and will be frequently delivered to StumbleUpon! users over a fairly short period of time.

To gauge the likability of a page, users give it a “thumbs up” or a “thumbs down” through the toolbar. The more popular the page is, the more likely it is to be seen by lots of users.

So, how do you know which pages from your website have been Stumbled?

There is a very quick and easy way to check which pages from your website have been added to StumbleUpon!; all you need is the StumbleUpon! toolbar installed, the Firefox browser (I tried to get this to work in Internet Explorer, but I am afraid I failed) and Google.

Instructions

Enter the command site:http://www.yourdomain.com/ into Google (I shouldn’t really need to tell you to replace www.yourdomain.com with your actual domain name).

This will show all of the pages Google has in its index from your blog/site

Make sure the StumbleUpon! toolbar is active and look for the StumbleUpon! icon, star and speech bubble next to each listing (see screen-grab below):

If you see the graphics it indicates the page has been Stumbled by at least one person. The graphics are click-able so you can visit the page on StumbleUpon! to read what other people have said about your page (if a review has been written).

The word “computers” indicates the category the site was added to.

Hope this works for you….
