I'm a big fan of Stumbleupon. My user name is johngrif. I found a great article on tricks you can use to get more traffic to your website by using SU.
A little background: Stumbleupon is dedicated to letting people share the sites they love with others, and letting people discover new websites with a “random” kind of feature. Basically, it lets you select categories you’re interested in, and it’ll display other sites people have recommended within that category.
Some of Michelle MacPhearsons' tips are here.
**** HOT TIPS ****
Forward this blog entry to your friends, fans, whomever! Tell them to install the StumbleUpon toolbar and give your site a big “Thumbs Up!” The more thumbs up you get, the more often your page will be seen by other StumbleUpon users interested in your category.
It’s a good idea to rate some other websites as well - maybe some you frequent, friend’s pages, or just hit the “Stumble” button on the toolbar and click “Thumbs Up” or “Thumbs Down” on what comes up.
Finally, don’t overlook the possibility of rating not just your homepage, but inside pages of your site as well. If they’ve got interesting content others would appreciate, Stumble them!
I hope this little traffic tip gives you a boost in your daily website visitors! Remember to categorize your site properly, it really helps in getting others to click the “Thumbs Up” button!
Let me know if it works for you.

ReplyDeleteOpps, is it John or Jonathon?
ReplyDeleteHey jon,
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried using SU yet. Allthough EVERYONE is talking about it..... I have so many projects to work on it is not funny. So the tips are useful? Are you a subscriber to my feed or at least frequent my blog? Any question, recommendations or other tips of yours are welcome. I say this to everyone - do anything you like with my blogs...just don't spam them. Do you use blogexplosion.com or onlywire.com? I get about 80% of my traffic from them good stuff.

Jon,
ReplyDeleteGreat tips for SU. I will have to try some of your suggestions.
Making use of the right mix of traffic generation techniques, that fit you and your business is so important. The key is, you need to know what ingredients are available before you find the recipe that’s right for you.
definitely let me know what works best and i will pass it along. its always good to test new things and tweak your approach based on the results and your overall goals. i like to do the test with two different approaches and see which one works the best then keep the one that does and tweak the other one that didnt and try it all over again.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips and SU really bringing in me traffic. bravo. thanks once again.
