exactly the point. Some of the visitors, if they like your site, they will stay and come back again. It's allways a good source of possible returning visitors.
agreed traffic is traffic - I only say what I say because it will throw off adsense CTR and page stats - I am more concerned about stats that is y I find it "ehh" - when I first got to it I was really surprised but further study showed me its "ehh" - again traffic is traffic
Kind of stupid, I suppose, but I never really thought of stumbling posts or subpages like you would on Digg or del.icio.us or something. I'll try that technique sometime.
StumbleUpon always works for me, well the idea is to stumble the inner pages also beside the main page and make sure you have interesting content. Video or pictures are great for stumbleupon also, I don't bother about the revenue from social networking since that's not my purpose in submitting my site to SB sites such as Stumble Upon.
When launching a new site, SU is a great tool. It's always a challenge building up returning visitors. But the more people you can introduce your site to, the better a chance your site will be successful.
no, you're thinking of myspace isn't there like 1.117 million "will stumble for free" threads in the freebies section? I guess I need to try that sometime!
Stumble is nice, but there are also other social bookmarking sites you can be taking advantage of as well!
I like Reddit. It doesn't drive much traffic unless you've got a really great article or content but with a solid headline (title) you can get an INSTANT 50-150 visitors. My best for 1 day at Reddit is a little over 200, which still isn't too bad considering I didn't pay for it. The quality wasn't as high as with stumble upon though (higher bounce rates, less time on site).
It's more like an erotic massage with scented oil and greasy, long haired girls (in a good way)... you should try it.
I have tried stumble in the past. I never found it to convert to money. Maybe I'll try it again. It can't hurt. Bison
