After posting How do you know you are really stumbled? on my blog, I got tremendous traffic from StumbleUpon.com.
So I have come up a simple small Javascript that you can just one click and check if the current page your are viewing is stumbled by someone. Feel free to use it for FREE. Here is the instruction.
FireFox Browser:
Simply drag and drop the “Stumbled?” link to your “Bookmark Toolbar Folder”. It will create a little shortcut for you on your FireFox Bookmark. Note: this option isn’t currently available for IE.
IE Browser:
For IE, you’ll need to use the following work-around to add this to your favorite.
Right-click on the “Stumbled?” link, then select “Add to Favorites” > “Links.”
Depends on your security settings in your IE browser, you might receive a “Security Alert” – “You are adding a favorite that may not be safe. Do you want to Continue?” Press “Yes” to continue.
You can trust the Javascript, it simply attach your current browsing page’s URL into the Javascript and open a new windows to StumbleUpOn review page. If the page has been stumbled before, it will show you the review pages.
Here is the original source code for the Javascript:
javascript:(function(){var a=window,b=document,c=encodeURIComponent,
d=a.open(%22http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/%22+b.location,’StumbleUpOn’,
‘location=1,status=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,alwaysRaised=1,width=800px,height=600px’);
a.setTimeout(function(){d.focus()},60)})();
If this trick helps you, please feel free to stumble it.
Thanks!

If you install the Stumble toolbar, you have a converstaion icon at the right side of the “Send to” button,just click on it and you’ll know whether the gage is stumbled.
Nice site you got here, please come over to visit me at avirtualexit dot com. See you.

I use this bookmarklet on my IE browser which doesn’t have StumbleUpOn installed. So it won’t confuse me.

As you wished, I actually stumbled it before already..
That’s a pretty cool tool. I just gave you a thumbs up. Have a great day.
I just read Gili’s response about the conversation bubble and it does do the same thing. Sorry for the second post, but it’s still a handy tool and for those of us that aren’t very observant at times, Thank-you.

Thank you for visiting. After I post the script, I found out the same thing. I even got a message from one of the stumbler who claim he had the similar script a while back.
What my script does differently is to open a new windows. I am glad that you find it.
Thanks!
Stumbled you!!

Thank you for visiting, hope you enjoy the bookmarklet. There is also a new bookmarklet for you to one click to stumble a page without the StumbleUpOn toolbar.

Hey i think you should do a before and after stat comparison when your using stumbleupon and then when you’re not.
Of course, if you’ve got the stuble bar, you can always hit the speech-bubble icon “Reviews of this page”.
Thanks Great script. I’ve been looking for something like that. Thumbs up!

It’s very useful when I try to figure out if a page is stumbled. I use it to check if other blog are stumbled by the my friends. Most of time, I will stumble those page that were stumbled by my stumbler friends.
I like this feature. I also like to stumble what my friends have already stumbled as well. Cheers!

Thank you for visiting my blog. Hope you enjoyed the script. I haven’t use StumbleUpOn for a while. Found other ways to generate real organic search engine traffic.
Hey Terence – And those ways are? Have you done a post on that? I searched here but did not find one.
Great idea and a simple script.
Thanks i will use this script in firefox to see what all pages of my blog are stumbled.
Thanks for a very useful tool… I have seen some boost from stumblers, but still trying to figure how to get more “friends” there as my stumbles only get seen by a few folks currently since I”m new to stumble Upon & do not know many friends who use it…..
Cheers!
