StumbleUpon tutorial – Increase your blog traffic

StumbleUpon idea was to help users find website of their interest. Users just need to click on the Stumble button it will bring them to a website base on their interest. Of course you need to install the Stumbleupon toolbar before you have the Stumble button. So how does it drive traffic for blogger like us? Very simple there is this “I like it” button beside the Stumble toolbar it is for users to mark their favorite and stall in their StumbleUpon account. And this will be added to the StumbleUpon directory. Randomly your post will be at the main page of StumbleUpon, i got mine on the main page after about 2 months. It is much easier than Digg because Digg depend on the number of people who digg your post in order to get onto the main page where else StumbleUpon do not require that. Let me show you some screen shot to guide you through.

Make sure after you submit this “Thank you!” screen is shown. If it does not show up mean you have not submit successfully. I have encounter this before. To proof that this method work i have include a screen shot of site meter proving that my traffic source did come from StumbleUpon. And for that week i have like 1000 visitor daily.
