Heres a few quick tips on how to increase your traffic from stumble upon and keep it coming with solid user visiting your content over and over. Every site has a system all your mission is now is to learn what system stumble upon uses. so here we go

Having a core base of active SU users who read your blog is all you need to tap into a steady stream of SU traffic. If you haven’t yet developed this core base yet, here’s what you should do:

1. Start using StumbleUpon and voting up content from other blogs and websites in your niche.
2. Friend those who Stumble your articles and thank them. This will start a dialog that could turn them into a loyal reader of your blog.
3. Write about SU and encourage readers to add you as a friend.
4. Swap Stumbles with other bloggers.
5. Link to your SU profile on your About page.
6. Befriend active StumbleUpon users and stumble and review some of their content if they have a blog or website. Active users command more traffic and they’re more likely to repay the favor because they’re Stumbling all the time anyway!
7. Add a Stumble button/link under each of your posts.
8. Add a Stumble link to your Feedflare (find it in your Feedburner control panel).

Heres a very informative post i came across over on Problogger.net where Adrian W Kingsley-Hughes talks about what he did to increase the traffice to his site within 30 days by using 3 simple steps. If you are starting a new blog or even have a existing one these following paragraphs will make a heck of a difference.

1. First, I made the most of Technorati tags. I tagged every key word in each of my posts. Initially I did this manually but them I discovered a WordPress plugin called SimpleTags that made the job a whole lot easier.
I found that by tagging my post effectively they were getting a lot more attention then their untagged counterparts, and as an added advantage I was getting focused, quality traffic to the site!

2. I leveraged my existing website. I’ve been running my business website for a few years and that was getting modest levels of traffic that was relevant to my blog - so why not try to drive some of that to my new blog! I placed a few FeedBurner headline animator blocks on some of my most popular pages and after a day or so I noticed a significant increase in traffic for 5 minutes worth of work on my part.

3. Finally, I made effective use of trackback links to popular sites. If I commented on a post on another site I would make sure that I set up the appropriate trackback for it. The results from this are varied depending on the site and post that you are linking to but since I liked to comment and interact with the wider blogosphere anyway, it was free traffic!

Another thing you could do is the pay option which is actually purchase links from high ranking or high trafficed site that are relevant to yours. depending on what niche your blog/site is in the prices will vary but testing will rule out what is worth it and whats not.
