Is anyone tracking the % of visitors that end up as return visitors? Or possibly the Pages per visitor?
Just signed up and started a new campaign, seems like this could work really well for driving traffic fast and cheap. Just need to keep track to see if anything converts I guess.
This is the first time i knew this part of the stumbleupon site existed, so thanks for bringing it to my attention, i think i will give it a go. -- Phil
I am awaiting approval for the advertising portion of SU. I am not sure I expect to break even for my money, but I expect the cheap traffic to be a positve anyway. Shouldn't it also provide a backlink from the SU site? Seems like that could also prove valuable.
It appears to be a moot point, I just got this e-mail: "mysite" was not approved because there is currently an insufficient number of people on StumbleUpon who will appreciate your site. Yikes! Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but my site is still new and growing, so I will keep plugging away.
I don't know what are their criteria to refuse a site. See if the site already has some success at StumbleUpon. If yes, show them that.
Ive posted an update on my blog with a little more information. You can find it at: http://www.virtualmarketingblog.com...rtising-campaigns-through-stumbleupon-part-2/
How long does it take to get approved? I signed up to purchase stumbles several days ago and have heard nothing.
