How To Get More Traffic From StumbleUpon

Quick Tips to Get More Traffic From StumbleUpon:

1. Submit your post first - this removes the 2 step submission process for your readers making sharing easier.

2. Use the Su.Pr Link Shortener - this is golden, I've more than tripled my stumbleupon traffic by doing this. Instead of using other link shorteners to share your content using Su.Pr.

Not only can you forward the content to other social sites, but you also automatically send those who click the link to the SU version of the page with the toolbar.

When (if) they like your page it helps snowball more traffic to the page via Stumbleupon.

Interesting, is the Su.Pr somewhere located within Stumbleupon? I have navigated the site real quick to look for this, and where would it be located? We have been using stumbleupon , which is one of the top SBM sites, and didn't know about this.

I like it but if you add some picture in your business when you post link in stumblup then your site traffic is mostly high.

wow thanks for that tip, i'll try the link shortener (I've actually never seen it... like bravoman2 there, I'm wondering where it is..?). Anyways, i'll figure it out

Great tips. I have not used the link shortner before but I shall definitely give it a go. I am surprised it has increased your traffic by so much from this simple change. I hear so many people say that StumbleUpon is less effective for gaining traffic than other bookmarking sites. I tend to feel that it is more because the little tricks to boost your traffic are less obvious on StumbleUpon than with some of the other bookmarking sites.

When I made a new post or I submitted a new story, my total views for that story was 10. How did that happen?

Hello,
StumbleUpon has a nifty URL shortening tool called SU.PR which I’m sure many of you web savvy of individuals will have already heard of. SU.PR is more than a URL shortening tool, it allows anyone to share content from the web to other social networking sites such as Facebook (Affiliate link) and Twitter simultaneously. Let’s begin.
If you’ve not used this tool before you’ll need to add your Facebook and Twitter account and configure a few settings before hand.
he 2 main reasons for using Stumbleupon are:

Getting hits to your site, which not only makes Google take you seriously, but also allows you to start building a reader base and getting people to sign up to your site.
Building Backlinks. This is done in the form of other Stumbleupon users adding you to their site, and also non-webmasters submitting your content to other social media sites.

1) Start using it! Use the recommendations engine, thumb up, thumb down other people's content
2) Start creating content and putting it into SU - but remember to make it really good stuff, with lots of value, link bait and character
3) You could use advertising on SU
4) Display the SU badge on your website so people can quickly thumb up your post
5) Follow people who like your content on a consistent basis, that way you can market to them your content regularly
