hi friends,

i have some tips that help to get traffic from stumbleupon.

1) Tag your site to the related category so that the visitor can expect what they will find in your website. Build a good, unique, and informative content.

2) Use an eye-catching headline like "secret" or "shock". The visitor will curious to know what is inside your website.

3) Put the StumbleUpon integration code to every page in your site but do not stumble all your pages by yourself.

4) Be a part of the stumble community so that you will know what they are mostly interested with.

5) Prepare your site with "viral marketing technique" so that the number of traffic will double from the Stumblers. (free e-book or flash game giveaway)

6) Ask your friend to "thumbs up" your site and you did the same to his/her website.

7) Suggest your reader to try StumbleUpon and install the toolbar to increase the number of your pages got "thumbs up".

8) Add as many "StumbleUpon" friends as possible (the result is same as above).

9) If you got many websites, link them together. If one of your website got stumbled well, the other site might receive the effect too.

10) Optimize your website loading time. If can, avoid flash since not all browser can support the latest flash version.

    The problem with StumbleUpon is that most of the traffic A) doesn't convert and B) has a ridiculous bounce rate and C) it's tough to get anything ecommerce related popular enough to garner any real traffic.

      I was about to say almost the same thing mate. Not only with Stubleupon but so with other social media traffic. Better concentrate on organic traffic since this has higher conversion rate compared to social media traffic.

    And I'm really not trying to knock all social media traffic, as it can be converted much easier, but the inherent problem with Stumble Upon is the nature of the service, bounce around really quickly until you find something randomly, whereas something like facebook or twitter you're spending time interacting with people "more" than just hitting stumble 150 times a minute (or at least that's how I stumble...)

    Either way StumbleUpon does have its benefits for certain things. If you're working within the entertainment niche it can be great, can be great for getting certain types of blogs popular, also good for testing headers, content etc to decrease your bounce rate/increase time spent on site because of the cheap traffic (.05 per targeted visitor)

    Good luck!
