Yeah, StumbleUpon do that with their links, it confused me too at first.

Instead try using http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.yourwebsite.com/

You'll be able to see the review page that people are stumbling from. One one of my websites receives average 200 unique free stumbles per day and I have since become a paid advertiser, though their categories for targeting are very limited, imho.

Well, you pay per stumble. I'm fortunate that the site in question fits perfectly into their "Fantasy Books" category, consequence of which the stumbles tend to spend quite a lot of time on my website and convert to members. I have also found that, since I started paying for a nominal amount of stumbles, that my free stumbles have also increased! Though that my be a coincidence I'm sure.
