Someone told me that you can get into the website cycle on stumble upon if you just get 1 stumble from 1 stranger. and get upto 1kuvs per day. can anyone tell me more? thanks
It is solely depends on your nice. Please be aware that most of stumbleupon users are not technical geeks and most of them just looking for something interesting or give them a pleasure. If your niche is about entertainment or gossip then it would be good to being stumbled and got high traffics sent from stumbleupon.
There were times when I submitted many of my site pages and blog articles to StumbleUpon to bring in some traffic. But what it brought me mostly is just around 50 visitors. So, I was just thinking whether StumbleUpon can actually bring you some good traffic? With my experience, I see that for “just another web pageâ€, StumbleUpon doesn’t brings much useful traffic. But then I also remember that this is a social book marketing web 2.0 site and some good content and link baiting types of pages works great with social bookmarking related sites. So I decided to give it a try and see how StumbleUpon work with pages which people actually like to see. Basically, if your blog post has something which people are actually interested in seeing/reading they will surely stumble it and bring you more and more traffic. But does this traffic convert? Well not much, I didn’t see much increase in my adsense and other earnings.
Depends on the number of posts submitted... I have around 50 posts and I barely get 1 visitor per day
Well, it depends. If some stranger with high reputation stumble's your post, then you get fair traffic. If someone write review then even more traffic. But the crux is, if someone stumbls from one part of world and then it gets thumbs up from another part of world pretty soon then then another thumbs up from somewhere else...t then the system assumes that your post is good and people are liking it, so it will show it to more stumblers. In my Google Tricks , I once got more than 50K visitors from stumble upon for one article related to Olympics during 2008 now-a-days I am receiving some 200 visitors for my another article. But one thing is for sure, Stumble upon traffics is for long term and not like twitter or digg.
SU is really known for getting a huge bump in traffic - and then it most of that traffic disappears. However, after the dust settles, your average UVs per day - you'll have more.
What I have found out through varied experience in multiple niche blog websites. I am going to answer more than your question. You can get a ton of traffic with stumbleupon...it is easy to set up groups that vote each other articles into popularity and also write some awesome content. So it's fairly easy to get traffic...what people wont tell you is the traffic sucks....at least by my standards. Many stumble and other social bookmarking sites have very internet savvy traffic and if you are looking to convert traffic into clicks, ie revenue stumble upon sucks! I like reddit better but really all social bookmarking sites traffic is low quality.
It varies, if you have a website that publishes very commercial and likely stuff for shure you will have many visitors from su .
Traffic from SU is totally random and inorganic in nature. They less tends to click on ads. What they do is just raise the impression and thus the eCPM fall.
StumbleUpon has brought tons of traffic to my blog. It largely depends on who thumbs up your post. If an influential Stumbler with hundreds of subscribers thumbs up your post, you can get thousands of visitors within a couple hours. If a newbie to StumbleUpon stumbles your post, the numbers won't be as impressive. I've also noticed that StumbleUpon brings in long-term traffic (though the initial day the post was published brings in the most), as people continue randomly "Stumbling" onto your posts. But keep in mind that the bounce rate of StumbleUpon users is very high, since most visitors from StumbleUpon take a quick glance at your content and then click the Stumble button again. So StumbleUpon definitely has its pros and cons.
I have tried using stumbleupon but I just can't seem to make it work effectively. I have "stumbled" some pretty useful (in my opinion) content but I still do not see any additional traffic at all. Whats the secret !?
