I suddenly started getting too many hits from Stumble upon

    I suddenly started getting too many hits from Stumble Upon.
    Two days back I was not getting a single hit though i created account a month back and stumbled my site, since yesterday evening I have got over 100 hits and analytics is showing StumbleUpon as source.

    What could be the reason?

    This has happened for another site of mine too.

    Thanks

    obviously one of your page got stumbled. It will stay for few hours, may or day or 2. But don't expect too much return from it

    stumbleupon is good, actually I am using it too and it really gives traffic.

    And I agree to posiedon it does not last that long.

    But some ad network won't accept that type of traffic ?

    Like Adsense because it won't allow auto surfer program..


    let me know am i correct or not ?

    Sounds like people took notice of your site when it started coming up in stumbles. Also sounds like everyone is down on StumbleUpon because the traffic is not targeted enough. If you are not already, try and capture some email addresses, newsletter signups, anything you can to make use of this surge.

    Getting one-time and sudden traffic is what Stumble Upon can give you. On the other hand, you hardly get any consistent traffic from them.

    Stumble is a good source of traffic, but people who use it don't click ads so you may not see any boost in revenue

    don't worry it won't last long, the first time I used stumble upon I received about 700 visitors in like 5-6hrs. To tell you the truth I was amazed, till this day I have not managed to replicate that effect so, I guess I just had a lucky streak that time.

    PS: Got a couple good clicks on my PPC ads that day, so traffic quality from stumble upon is quite good.

    StumbleUpon is a bookmarking site, go to www.stumbleupon.com register for an account, and download their toolbar. It's an awesome browser toy and a good way of getting some quick traffic.

    I got about 300 visits in 36 hrs and today everything back on track. No visits from sTUMBLE today so I assume it was like tsunami came to my shore and went back. So far no sales or leads received.

    Hhehehe I'm glad how you described that "tsunami" effect.

    I do hope that you finally get some sales/leads in the near future :)

    You have been stumbled...

    However bounce rate is pretty high for stumbleupon traffic (usually 99%+) so don't expect any sales or leads from it.
