Andrea! Just checked out Dlvr.it and it looks interesting. What can you tell us about it? It looks like you just go to their site to post content and it delivers to different social media, is that correct?

My top 10 are

1. Direct
2. Google organic
3. t.co
4. google referral
5. facebook
6. Simple dollar
7. Modest Money
8. Feedburner
9.I will teach you to be rich
10. Frugal rules

For 2012 through Dec 8th:

1.	google / organic	
	2.	direct
	3.	google.com / referral	
	4.	freemoneyfinance.com / referral
	5.	consumerismcommentary.com / referral	
	6.	lenpenzo.com / referral
	7.	t.co / referral
	8.	bing / organic
	9.	yahoo / organic

I'm totally lame at doing guest posts, so all the referrals from blogs are mentions and/or blogroll listings (I guess?).

My top ten:

1. google/organic

2. direct

3. lifehacker.com

4. feedburner/feed

5. google.com

6. businessinsider.com

7. rss

8. t.co

9. getrichslowly.org

10. community.thenest.com

Have you written posts for Oregonlive.com? If not how are you getting traffic from their site? Thanks for chiming in!

No, they just link to me every once in a while. They usually drive okay traffic for a few days. I probably get a thousand visitors or so per link spread out over the next week or so. Not bad. They follow me on twitter so I'm assuming that's where they see my content.

Here's mine for last 3 months

You get referrals from TheNest.com? That is interesting. Do you just comment in the forums and get traffic that way?

I have such a difficult time figuring out stumble upon…for some reason it just doesn't make much sense to me and i cant grasp how to use it……kinda like calculus… 

I just "Stumbled Upon" how to use it. I got the Social Metrics plugin for Wordpress and under the Stumble Upon heading there is a button that says Submit. When you click it, it takes you to a page where your can submit that post. If people like it, it will get more "Stumbles". The key is writing unique and interesting content and submitting it in the right category. I use the Financial Planning and Banking category for my Personal Finance type posts.

I just recently found out how to submit my posts on StumbleUpon through the Social Metrics plugin for Wordpress. In the past 7 days I have had 240 unique hits from Stumble upon. Who would have thought?

Thanks, just installed this plugin and started stumbling! :)

That is awesome! Another thing that I like about the Social Metrics plugin is that it tells you how many times a post has been mentioned on Social Media like Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, Etc. This way I can see what people are sharing and what they are not. It has been super helpful in this regards.

I just did the exact same thing… I'm impressed stumbleupon does so well!
