StumbleUpon Exchanges

Hey Ben,

I'm not quite sure. It helps to get help from the big guns, but doing this on a local scale isn't bad. It helps if everyone involved networks with others and builds up a good following.

I'm thinking about extending this to other social sites as well. Have any opinions on that?

Thanks,

Alan

[Alan Mater]

Okay, I am now caught up and have added everyone so far.

Sure, why not

I'm going to provide a list social bookmarking sites that allow DoFollow and then other people can sign up, if not a member, and we can start doing exchanges with those sites as well.

If you're a member of other sites, just let me and the other people here know, and we'll be happy to exchange links.

I'd like to get this going on a larger scale, and using the DoFollow sites will help with building backlinks.

Hey Ben, I have been noticing a steady stream of traffic from StumbleUpon lately, and I would imagine it's because of doing this exchange.

Make sure to create your profile for the ones that let you. Some allow you to network with other users as well. It's a good idea to do that.

Hi Alan,

Happy New Year!! I noticed that you used social poster here. I found a video about how effective using this can be. You may want to take a look at the video. If this guy is to be believed and if it is true, you've stumbled on something BIG. But really who knows. Do you have any good experience to share and do you think what this guy says (Louddle ...sorry I may have got his name wrong) is true.

I just put the video on my blog. It's a series of 14 SEO video clips...look for one titled "SEO-How to Rule Google". He's the guy wearing specs. Just hover your mouse at the bottom of screen to select this video clip. What do you think?

I don't use social poster though I've heard of this name. I used SocialMarker and have accounts opened only for dofollow sites. So this long list is quite overwhelming.

Peter

I've added it to squidoo and stumble

[Graham Maddison]

Hi Alan,

late as usual, I missed this thread. If you are stillin the mood, I have listed mine
Make This Your Home Business | The Key To Success In Affiliate Marketing
Make This Your Home Business - Blog
http://www.winningways.eu winning ways is my new site and could definitely do with some stumbling

I'll get to work stumbling everyone on this list.

Incidentally, if anyone has any doubt about the usefulness of stumbleupon, I wrote an article on my new site and stumbled it and had over 170 visitors in less than an hour. It may well have the title that caused the volume, but none the less, it proves stumbleupon works.

Thanks for the thread Alan

Graham

[Peter Lee]

Thanks! I've stumbled you and gave you a blurb too.

2. Kazakhan
3. Kha
4. Mari
5. Leon
6. Fadzli
7. GT

[Peter Lee]

Graham,
I've been meaning to ask you. Same as you, I do see such traffic but usually nothing comes out of it. ZIP! none. Is there some truth in people saying that SU traffic is non-targeted. I even read someone who had 2000+ views on a post but no sales generated, perhaps just window shoppers. Just some food for thought.

Alan, you got any views on this?

Peter

Graham

[Graham Maddison]

I have just worked through the list and stumbled everyone also written a review on most but not all - if you had more than 1 site, i reviewed onl 1 but will come back again for the others.

Peter,

When i annalyzed the 170 visitors to my site, there were only a handful that ventured into the site, most left Iguess after reading or viewing the article.

Graham

[Alan Mater]

Hello, everyone:

I've caught up on some of the Stumbling today. I believe I'm up-to-date on everybody up to and including Graham's post at 1:39pm on Jan 1, 2009 (Graham has three links there, including the Gambling, Las Vegas post).

Another day, I will continue Stumbling beyond that point.

Here are two URLs members here can Stumble for me when you get a chance. One is a blog post and one is a website page:

I had around 50 hits the day after this thread was started but have since had almost no traffic at all from stumble upon. I don't think it has helped much with SEO either.

StumbleUpon is a "nofollow" site, so forget SEO, unfortunately.

I get a steady amount of traffic, but that's about it. Perhaps other sites might be better?

Digg, Mixx and others?
