I signed up with StumbleUpon and got their toolbar installed,then visited one of my blogspot's post and clicked on "I like It".A pop-up came on and I filled up the form with all required fields and submitted it.But still it dosent give any hits to my site page!!! Whats the problem or is there any other method to getting indexed by StumbleUpon,or does it not index pages of blogspot. Is there some other reason for not even getting a single hit also...? Well I am new to StumbleUpon and any help wuold be appreciated...! The url is http://the-fitness-help.blogspot.com/2006/08/why-monalisa-was-smiling-funny.html under humour category
Maybe you're in too broad of a category, meaning there are too many sites so yours won't show often. Find something more specific. btw, your main page goes to an error. Don't know if it has anything to do with it, but still. I haven't had any problems with StumbleUpon. I know some people don't get good conversion, but I have... so maybe that's more to do with the nature of the sites and their audience. I know someone else also mentioned that you're not supposed to submit there if you use Adsense, but I contacted Google and they said it's completely fine as long as you're not buying any untargeted traffic. Overall, I've had nothing but good experiences with StumbleUpon. Jenn
Well thanx for the help. And my main page is not showing any errors on my browser. The problem is that I am not getting even a single hit from StumbleUpon,so I feel theres some problem somewhere. Anywaz can you tell some more similar sites where I can get traffic from....! I already know digg and reddit
You're probably not getting any links because you entered the topic / category as "commedy". If you don't spell it right, it's not going to be sent to anyone, because no one would have signed up to receive that category. Add it to 'comedy" and/or "humour" instead and you'll have some luck. Actually, you add it to "comedy" and I'll go add it to "humour" and post here if you notice a change in a day or two. Jenn
And you need to fix your blog title link... it's going to a 404 message instead of your home page... that's why I couldn't get to it before. The side link is working ok though. Jenn
Well we had the oposite effect added a bookmark to our date site and out hits went thru the roof. They have quitened down now but they were over 100 a day. Have read some issues with Stumble and SEs ....anyone know about this?
It took me like 12 hours to get some hits. Oddly, about 2 weeks later, I had over 1k uniques from StubleUpon over a 2 day period.
With SU it also depends on your popularity, if you have a lot of folks showing your sites then you will have more pull in bringing in visitors. Or if a user with high popularity gives your site the thumbs up it can have the same effect (that is why there can be a delay of days or longer). Keep submitting good stuff and you will get fans, view other peoples links and they will view yours. good luck.
