Many bloggers say that within one day, they saw more traffic by a couple hundred or a thousand visitors referred from StumbleUpon.
StumbleUpon is a social bookmarking site where you not only collect all of you favorite sites into one favorite site, but:
StumbleUpon is also a favorite resource for bloggers to get more traffic for their blog.
It’s been called an online social network, social bookmarking network, social search engine, and actually it has all this going on for it to the point that…
>> Members are feeling an addictive pull as they spend hours at a time stumbling and discovering interesting articles and video clips.
Of course, I’m not suggesting you spend hours on another Social Media site. I want you to get more traffic by using it as a tool.
So, let’s put it to work for your blog!
If you’re not using this as part of your content marketing plan, then now’s time to start using this power tool as one of your tactics to get more traffic, giving you a huge advantage.
What to expect?
– Your site will get more exposure if someone else ‘stumbles’ across your content and gives it a ‘thumbs up’.
- When your content receives a high proportion of “thumbs up” votes, it’s shown more often to others.
- Users find your article, or video clips, by voting (thumbs up) for the type of content they want to see more of.
- This means more traffic of targeted visitors for you.
- Your visitors can submit and vote for more of your specific pages, giving you a boost in more traffic.
This is it…
3 things you can do to get more traffic from StumbleUpon:
#1 Use StumbleUpon every day.
Give a quick ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ (thumbs down just means content you’re not interested in).
Surf around Stumbleupon and give some thumbs up, especially to those in your niche. Like most Social Media tactics, you have to give in order to receive.
#2 As usual, submit quality content, using great headlines and images that pull them in, and that hasn’t been submitted yet.
Want help with those headlines, read… ”Want The Shocking Truth About Your Blog?” – Oh and be sure to stumble this, also – ‘thumbs up’ is all it needs!
#3 Promote your StumbleUpon links in your blog, emails, and other Social Media sites – asking them to give a ‘thumbs up’, or even to submit your content.
Most of us want more traffic and that’s a great reason many bloggers and businesses turn to StumbleUpon.
Even though your site gets stumbled, it doesn’t always mean automatic traffic.
Here’s where you can become incredibly effective for generating traffic and links.
StumbleUpon has proven itself to work for many bloggers and business owners. Get started today to put it to work for you too!
Your primary goal will be to use it to drive traffic to your blog in order to build your targeted audience and create awareness for your blog, or business.

StumbleUpon is a great resource for bloggers. I wish that stumbles always equaled blog traffic, but it does help some.

I think I have stumble Upon but never actually use it. I find that I spend a lot of time commenting in groups or Tweeting, FB liking or G+ing. And I really do have to read so I can get those book reviews up! People have mentioned that they have found my site via Stumble Upon and if you have the time it is a great way to find new blogs.

I love stumbleupon not only because it is the best way to increase traffic, but also for its flexibility to show content. We can choose our interests and read what we like, and we get the best results.
That’s yet another avenue to consider when looking for traffic!

I find SU to be really hit or miss. One day I’ll get tons of views, the next day nothing. So it doesn’t seem to be bringing high quality traffic that actually converts to readers.

This sounds like a great tool to get traffic for your blog. I will make sure I tell my sister about it.

I’ve heard of stumbleupon but honestly never looked much into it. Now I’m kind of regretting that because I feel I have been missing out on a lot of traffic. Thank you for the tips, the site can be a little confusing on the first visit or two.

It is amazing how a post can take off on StumbleUpon. If you are lucky, you can get 5,000 hits or more in one day, like I experienced once. It’s also crazy how older posts can gain new traffic from Stumbleupon.

I have a SU profile, but I don’t believe I am getting the most of it that I could if I had more time to focus on it. I would love to read more tips you may have on SU and how you use it to get more traffic. As of now, the search engines are getting me most of my traffic, but I would love to open up more sources. Thanks for great content Donna!
