Anyone using Stumbleupon?

A fellow warrior has a very interesting WSO available at present which is based on the use of Stumbleupon advertising and how to use it profitably.

It's well worth a look:

Not much anymore. Used to be crazy as I had this tool which would stumble your site with a tonne of profiles through real computers all over the world. I literally would get like 10k uniques within a few seconds, no joke. Then things got patched and SU got strict. Not sure how it is now but it would work for list building and turn crap traffic into quality buyers

Hello,

Thanks for the reference to my WSO Ivan! I've been using StumbleUpon advertising for about a year and over the course of the time perfected quite a few ways to monetize it. This was because of frustration with PPC campaigns costing me exponentially more than the returns I'd get from them, not to mention the constant watching, tweaking and editing.

StumbleUpon is very unique in that not only can it deliver targeted traffic, but it can deliver traffic based on a niche you select, versus just keywords, which is advantageous for CPA offers and so on because you can select broad interest over select keywords. It also allows you to select demographics (age/sex) which is a huge advantage depending on the offers you promote.

Long story short, yes I've been using StumbleUpon quite extensively to profit through the various sites and their varying monetization!

Let me know if you've any specific questions I'll gladly answer them!

Yes i am getting good amount of traffic from stumble upon and having a 50% bounce rate for my site.

Stumbleupon falls under social bookmarking along with delicious, digg, and reddit to name a few. There's a list of various ones here:

I'm using stumble as well as some others.

STU and Digg are declining their reliability based on my personal experience... I seldom use them since last year...

I think StumbleUpon is more of a hybrid between social bookmarking and marketing vehicle, their advertising network is absolutely unique in that it serves 1 paid page, without the constant battling of marketers vying for viewers clicks and conversions.

Also, as far as traffic, it creates telescoping traffic because even once you've finished paying for traffic, you will garner organic traffic afterwards because of a sites popularity. You just have to structure your site so you don't get huge bounce rates!

Very powerful thread. I little bit confuse about bounce rate as well.

I'm appreciate hear good info about bounce rate from SU or other SB sites as well.

I have used StumbleUpon.

It has driven some decent traffic

I also like it because you find some crazy cool things there! I mean WOW!

Haha anyway yea it seemed to do ok I mean there are alot of other ways to drive traffic and more effecient but it's worked for me and I've heard claims of it working phenominaly for some.

While you can add 3 categories, I always use just 1 for optimal testing means. Granted if you've tested each 3 individually and they all seem to convert about equal, then I'd say go for it, otherwise I'd stick with just 1 (but I'm a nut for testing!)

StumbleUpon just recently updated their system a bit too, a new user interface which even shows you how many free stumbles you got (not many advertising networks give you free traffic
