How to get lots of Stumble Upon traffic - SAFE

    Buy it.

    http://www.stumbleupon.com/promote_faq.html

    You can waste all your time making "friends" with other marketers who will never buy your product, and possibly get a short term traffic boost. When you do this for commercial reasons, having to set up an army of "friends" to do your bidding or dozens of proxy accounts to fake popularity, this is spam. And it's stealing traffic. You want to monetize your site, you should respect the fact that the site whose system you're trying to game is also monetized.

    Five cents a visitor isn't bad when you consider I make $32 an hour. The time it would take to grow a stumble farm would cost more than just paying for it. I'm sure the rest of you can say the same. What percent of your time do you spend working on promoting your business, as opposed to actually running it?

    Hey Alexander the Great,

    I think you are right. People always get what they pay for, which also means that they DON'T GET what they didn't pay for.

    Or I could do nothing and still get lots of free SU traffic.

    You don't need a "friend army" or any of that crap, you just need a good website.

    Yeah, it's kind of shocking to some people that quality websites are one of the best ways to get traffic.

    It's always fun to promote in different ways. I remember spending $5 on SU just because, but that was years ago.

    However, one thing to remember, is that buying 100 SU visitors could lead to 10000 SU visitors if the people seeing your site click the "thumbs up." That would greatly reduce your investment :)

    Because there's no reason to spam, and doing so is immoral?

    Exactly! And when you go recruiting armies of "friends" it's a sure sign you don't have a quality site. If you do, other people will Stumble it for you. With no $$$ or time and effort on your part.

    But when people are buying Stumbles, friends on Stumble, and someone put up a StumbleExchange.com site, it seems loads more people want traffic from Stumble than have good enough sites to merit it.

    Good suggestion - I'm trying it now. You should get a referral credit. ;)
