SU send nice amount of traffic to my sites but few day's ago i'm got less and less traffic from that site... What's happen with SU?
What do you do to get SU traffic on a regular basis? Doesn't it depend on how many people stumble your site?
It depends not only on how many people stumble your site, but the power of there profile. If a power stumbler hits your site, you will see a nice spike in traffic and more stumbles will follow. If 20 average stumblers hit your site, you will see less traffic then when a power stumbler stumbles your site. If that makes sense will all the stumble words. If you have an article/post whatever get stumbled heavily one day, that traffic amount will not continue the next day and the day after. You will see that traffic slowly die down over the course of a day or two. Now if you write a second post and it gets stumbled again, the you will have the chance at the same amount or even more traffic then the previous post that was stumbled.
Stumble has made some changes to the friends system and I'm sure it did effect some peoples stumble traffic... It's probably more of a reflection on the power of the account you used for driving the traffic. Your best bet is to have other more powerful stumblers submit the stories for you, because non friend votes are always more powerful no matter what site you are submitting to.
Do you happen to have any tips on how you'd go about getting in touch with someone that has a powerful account?
The best way to get powerful stumblers to add you as a friend or pay attention to you is to visit their profiles often and thumb up and review their favorites. SU did add a new feature where you can be friends with someone, but choose to subscribe to their favorites feed or not. Thumb up their SU Blog and write a nice review about them... Ultimately don't spam them. If you do get some power stumblers as friends, don't bombard them with requests... Some will flag you as spam if they think you are trying to game the system.
Thank you for the information. I wonder if there are services that work with SU on someone's behalf. That is, perhaps a service who's owners participate in the SU community and have established powerful accounts, and then stumble on behalf of their clients, or something like that. That may be against the rules, though.
Well if a company is paying a "power stumbler" it is definitely wrong on both ends. But Stumble Upon does offer a PPC program already, which is pretty decent at 5 cents per click. If you are going to pay, you might as well pay SU directly for the traffic and see what results you get that way. Of course the most important part is providing content people will actually like!!
I haven't used SU for like 4months, a few days ago I got an email telling me my SU account has been frozen, I have no idea what's up with them.
I love StumbleUpon for a steady traffic (good for CPMs) and believe me some of them also click on ads, although probably only 5% of them Even if your page is discovered by a non power stumbler, at least you can take it as a starter and hopefully some power stumblers find your post through that starting point and add to the stumble
This has happened a lot on Stumble and is usually due to the way you went about promoting your own site through stumble. When you are being obvious about self promotion you can get flagged by other users and if you get flagged enough times your account will be reviewed an usually frozen by SU. They are taking a stand against "gaming" their system like Digg finally did when they banned over 100 of their top 1000 users recently.
