StumbleUpon, the secret to HUGE traffic!

    Although StumbleUpon would be considered semi-targetted traffic and the stumblers don't tend to stick around long, it is traffic and you never know if they'll decide to stay, click on/buy things, or tell a friend. You can notice jumps of a few thousand visitors over just a few hours.

    Having interesting, funny, good content is the next part of the equation.

    Increase your influence on the StumbleUpon network by increasing your number of friends (fans).

    - simply add your stumbleupon profile to the list and begin adding friends and vice versa. It's that simple!

    These types of websites are what get webmasters banned from Google AdSense, StumbleUpon is notorious for going after spammers and cheaters balls out, which includes reporting them to Google AdSense and other major ad networks. Just a simple warning, you can view the many threads on DP of people losing their AdSense account because of StumbleUpon.

    Best of luck to whoever tries this though :)

    Hmmm, I'll have to look at the Adsense threads more closely. Does Google actually state that it's because of StumbleUpon?


    *Also, never ever submit crappy pages, including MFA sites to stumble.
    And DO NOT spam StumbleUpon. The idea is to submit good content and do it sparingly or in moderation. It is NOT meant to be abused!

    Another thing that is helpful seems to be to become a StumbleUpon sponsor. Cost is $10 for the year (even though it defaults to $20, just change it to $10).

    Also, sign up for plenty of groups and use the photo blog feature.

    Here's another to read.
