My friend Luke has just unveiled a new web site called StumbleUpon Exchange.

If you’re not familiar with StumbleUpon, it’s a toolbar for your web browser that allows you to rate web sites and to also view web sites which other StumbleUpon members have rated.

As a visitor, StumbleUpon can provide you with almost endless amusement as you are taken to web sites which you would not otherwise be able to find. As a webmaster, StumbleUpon can be an incredibly effective tool for building web traffic.

StumbleUpon Exchange is a web site where webmasters can trade “Stumbles” with each other, which will result in increased traffic to both web sites.

I receive thousands of visitors from StumbleUpon every month. If you’re a webmaster, I recommend that you check out Luke’s new site.
