I’ve been using StumbleUpon for a while, and I must say, it’s very easy to use, fun, and it drives some quality traffic to my websites.
This is my profile on StumbleUpon, in case you’d like to connect.
By the way, in case you didn’t think StumbleUpon is about quality, just look at their maintenance page. It’s one of the best.
When I’m using StumbleUpon I’m paying close attention to three things.
First.
StumbleUpon friends. I try to find new friends, and I accept all requests. The more friends, the better my reputation on StumbleUpon will become. The more people that stumbles my pages, the more thumbs up, the more people will view what I have to offer. I’m helping them, they’re helping me.
Second.
Ratings and reviews. It’s not all about stumbling. I try to write reviews, and I try to add ratings. The more active I am on StumbleUpon, the more my popularity increases.
Third.
Ask people to stumble. I send emails to people I know, I ask them for help, to “thumbs up” my pages. I share my stumbles with my friends. I try to let people know that they can help by stumble my blog posts or my articles. Sometimes I even use Twitter and Facebook to ask for help. When I ask, I always get help.
One of the important things about StumbleUpon, and the reason why you should use it, is that the content is very focused. When people are viewing your content via StumbleUpon they are interested, because they have added your topic to what they like to view/surf.
Finally.
I’ve published seven new articles and a new report about how to use StumbleUpon to get more traffic.
