I recently read a very poor report on a prominent blog, that basically didnt say much about the details on how one can use StumbleUpon to really drive traffic to their website. The writer did claim that he has gotten as many as 300,000 visits per month from his trick of stumbling funny humor photos on the StumbleUpon network - even though humor photos were off topic posts. The article had no real meat in it. As a result, I thought I could share some really good tips and tricks for using StumbleUpon to drive website traffic, and I also invite readers to add in their 2 cents if I have missed anything.

The key to marketing on StumbleUpon is not to get “backlinks” (they have a no-follow tag anyway, so you dont get the Google love) … the point is to get picked up and recognized by some highly influential and power users on StumbleUpon. Once that happens you can be assured that your link or site will get picked up by a large number of users on StumbleUpon and the effect of referral traffic coming in from there will last for a long period of time.

If you are serious with using StumbleUpon to get traffic and want to read the complete indepth article on Stumbling and also get access to a big list of stumbleupon resources visit my blog at successonline.in - the stumbleupon article link should be on the top.

For new sites its good get SU traffic. For established its just waste of time; because the traffic rarely convert to sales. But thats my opinion.

I google my sites, look up who is stumbling me, and if it looks like they have a blog or something that needs stumbling I give em a little love.


If you add the stumbler to your list of friends, their name will actually appear next to your listing - just saw someone sent me some love today and I jumped on their stumble, found they made a new squidoo page and gave them a rating and added them to a lens roll and stumbled them. Small actions like these are quick and add up over time.

They will know where it came from.

So true! traffic is just a crap. It doesn't give you a good conversion.
