Bringing More Traffic from StumbleUpon
StumbleUpon is a source of great traffic which lasts quite long. Previously, I have written a blog post about how StumbleUpon can bring good traffic. But what can you do to bring even more traffic from it?
Of course, quality content is still the biggest factor for more traffic, but what can you do to increase it even further. The key to bringing even more traffic lies in “friends and fans”.
According to the help page of StumbleUpon, about friends:
Adding a friend is essentially subscribing to their content. You will stumble upon pages they have rated, filtered according to the shared [topics] displayed on that person’s profile.
So, when you add somebody as a friend, he or she is effectively subscribing to your stumbled content automatically.
Similarly for fans:
Fans are people who have clicked “add as friend” on your profile. This means they will now stumble upon your favorites sites which are of interest to both of you.
So, the key to bringing viral traffic is to get more and more friends and fans. When you stumble a page, your friends and fans will be subscribed to it automatically. So when they click the “Stumble” button, your site will be shown to them. This can bring viral and you get more traffic. So try to get more and more friends and fans in your niche and then submit your pages to StumbleUpon.
Welcome back!

i found that if you send a link to someone via SU system.. the vote is not take a good effect.. anyway if someone want to share link via instant messages (no more then 2 links/votes per day) can add me in his YM with the id: brlmnd [at] yaoo [dot] com

Good post. I find it very interesting for me, as I’ve just started my blog and I thinking about getting some serious traffic for free. Stumble upon looks very interesting for me.
Can I add you as a friend on SU?:)
cheers

Social media website can bring a lot of traffic but no conversion for adsense clicks.

tantonwi, if you have targeted the right category and you have an interesting post/page for them to view, you can surely get something out of them, may be RSS/Affilaite/Adsense.. something for sure…but your page should be good enough for them to stay on the page for some time. If they just come and leave.. then its no use.

Good into.. I’ve never really gotten into SU, but I will now. I have some really great content, just no traffic.

I have seen some sudden jump of traffic due to StumbleUpon Jim, but I could not get a key to get that traffic regularly. What would you advice?

I have tried stumble upon and experienced no results. Perhaps once my site gains more popularity.
