        Hey,

        I would follow their lead and add more rich content.

        * I would add an image header or logo.
        * I would also add a brief description to the listings.
        * Maybe add a couple news related icons here and there.
        * Maybe add some styles to make the list look prettier (alternating row colors, white & light grey, etc.).

        My first impression of your site is that it looked like one of those domain for sale pages or GoDaddy parked domain pages. It took a second look to realize this was your actual site. On first glance it looked like this was a dead domain name with a link page placeholder. Nothing stood out to me but a bunch of links (which said to me: Low Quality Content).

        A few small additions and changes and you should get the green light!

        Hope this helps. Just my 2 cents for what its worth. Best wishes in your endeavors with Stumbleupon.

          yes, it does looks like parked domain.
