Anyone using StumbleUpon?

it is a great way to get the word out. I have gotten traffic from it and repeat visitors due to it.

 

Thanks for the great tips jhmattern! Now im getting to understand how to get traffic from SU You're right about submissting the internal pages. That'll help bring a lot of targetted visitors interested in a niche to the site

 

Hey, I've been using stumbleupon for quite awhile, it can give some real nice traffic - make sure you get your website in the right category when submitting - otherwise you won't get the response you're looking for, and as usual, jhmattern gave some great tips.

I stumbled a bunch of the links in this thread. If anyone wants to friend up here's my page: http://player-1.stumbleupon.com/ Everyone's welcome! and I could use a few stumbles on http://www.free-contests.net

 

Hey everyone, I will stumble your page and give your site a short little review in exchange for one of my sites. PM me for the URL if you are interested. No adult, spam, or illegal sites please.

 

everyone add me to their friends (even if u dont like me )
my stumblilinator is 'zoinky'

 

I've stumbled most of the sites in this thread if anyone wants to stumble my sites, feel free to. All in my sig.

I just started using stumble about 2 weeks ago and I bet I have found atleast 10-15 great sites that I keep going back to. Its a great way to find different things.

 

You have to realize that a majority of stumblers are just bored people looking to kill some time!

 

better chances of getting repeated visitors is a good game or a funny joke

 

That's only true for some niches. Some people really are looking for new and interesting sites, and they do keep coming back. Like I said in my experience, entertainment-based sites (music) do enormously better than business sites. It all depends on who your site targets, and whether or not you're choosing the best pages to get listed in there for them to find (I wouldn't recommend just going in and adding everything on your site, nor would I suggest only adding your home page - choose a specific few pages that have a bit of a "wow factor" to catch someone's attention, like right to a tool or something).

yea, so don't use it...

 

I know I was just stating that a majority are like that!

Oh and I would appreciate any thumbs up to my featured game of the month http://www.fadplay.com/game/388/Alchemy.html which already has a few naturals thumbs ups!

Thanks!

 

But the "majority" aren't like that - that's my point. The majority of users in one niche might be like that, but the majority in another large niche might have a lot of interest in the topics, and not be ad-blind. It's not a general target site.

I like alchemy. Thumbs-upped.

OK, let me rephrase, in my experience, the majority are like that!

Oh and thanks for the thumbs up!

 

I tried a paid campaign and got some decent traffic.

I keep forgetting to use it so have not gotten much free traffic lately.
May try another paid campaign.

I'm at http://5staraffiliates.stumbleupon.com/
New Friends and stumbles welcome.

 

5star u got a new friend, will send u a paypal subscription of 50$/month for being ur friend.

 

Be my friend too! =D

If you need more friends I will create more accounts and will make you a discount xD

 

idea of buying friends on stumble is patented, u will be hearing from my lawyer

 

You are the one buying, I'm just selling myself as a friend, I think you got it the opposite way, unless, as I'm doing right now, you are also joking about buying stumblers.

 

no no, i sold myself as a friend to 5star, that IS what i said, and that is wat is patented, and that is a joke
