Guide to StumbleUpon Traffic
by
19 May 2008
http://www.stumbleupon.com/ (SU) is one of the coolest social bookmarking sites. You can really get some traffic out of this site. Today Ill give you some tips that would help you get the most out of it. And Ive specifically written this guide for blogs. But, you could use this guide for your forum too. Stumbling other sites Im assuming that you have an account and have the toolbar installed. If not then go do that first. Okay dont just start stumbling your own blog. Lets make it look legit and save your ass from getting banned by SU. So, go to some of your favourite sites and click on the I like button on your toolbar aka stumbling it. Do that on about 2-6 sites. And make sure that you write a review on at least 2 sites. Make sure that the review is nice and not just some dumb shit. Time to stumble your blog Yeah now lets work on your blog. First pick a post (preferably a recent one) that you think is superb and would be useful to people. Bookmark that. Write a nice little review and try not to look spammy. Okay good. Dont stumble all the posts. Just pick the best ones. Adding friends Add a few random people as your friend. And if you know people that use SU and has been a member for a long time then you just won the lottery. Add them right away. Ask them to stumble your blog and write a nice review. Stumbling Networks There are sites which are dedicated to stumble exchanges. Like people there will stumble you and in return youll stumble them. Smart bastards, huh? One of the sites that does that is http://www.stumblexchange.com/. And another one is http://www.blogcatalog.com/. Youll find groups like http://www.blogcatalog.com/group/stumble on BlogCatalog that exchange stumbles. You could give them a try. Itll be worth it. So thats it for now. Have fun stumbling!
