The problem I had is the way you are saying it. Technically, you didn't ask them to give it a thumbs up first, before looking around. I was trying to use this as a way to also illustrate the notriously fickle nature of the stumbler, and that if you do subtle things, you can promote negative feedback without realizing that. I guess I could have made that a little more apparent. I guess my question, is have you seen an increase in pageviews as a result of that? Maybe i'm a little more fickle than most users. Dee,

The difference between the thumbs up and the stumble button. As a stumbler, you are taken to a page that you either thumb up or down and afterwards you hit the 'Stumble' button and move on. So my request was basically to look around after you've already thumbed up or down, which should increase hits and pageviews. And that line works because the traffic was already coming from stumbleupon. :) Hi Mike,
