Stumbleupon is seriously amazing. Wow. If you haven’t tried actively stumbling your sites, then you don’t know what you’ve been missing. The following images represent how much traffic I got SOLELY from StumbleUpon. And I didn’t spend a lot of time either (only getting 3 stumbles on picture one and only stumbling the site MYSELF on the 2nd picture)
I’m not sure how long this kind of traffic will last. But I like that the traffic has increased by 100x. I had previously used StumbleUpon before, and I was NOT getting this kind of traffic increase before. It must mean that StumbleUpon has really become a better system.
Now take all this advice with a grain of salt. You are NOT going to make sales with StumbleUpon traffic. These visitors are HIGHLY untargeted. Usually, when I’m just around stumbling with the toolbar, I see maybe 1/10 websites that really catches my eye and gets bookmarked in del.icio.us. The other sites I just quickly stumble away.
What you will get is more exposure and filling up your website statistics. It then becomes quite a bit easier to sell ads once you can prove that you’re getting quite a bit of unique visitors. Other than that, I see very little point in the stumbleUpon traffic. Upon second look, it seems most of the Stumblers are averaging 5 seconds on my sites as well.
Still, StumbleUpon is definitely a great way to get traffic. You do need to get other people to “stumble” your website. The best place I’ve found is DigitalPoint forums “freebie section.“
