I was simply amazed with all the traffic I got from StumbleUpon yesterday with my post, 5 Helpful Sites You Should Be Aware Of. And I’m still receiving so many hits from that article!
I got on and I went to my Live plugin and saw all the views that were coming referred by StumbleUpon, and it was for an article I didn’t stumble. Well, someone else had stumbled it, and 40 other people had rated it a thumbs up!
Then later on I noticed hits coming from Popurls. My article had been featured under the StumbleUpon section, which just amazed me (I still consider myself quite the amateur blogger). I just started using StumbleUpon again after I’d given up on it a long time ago, but now I see how much it can help getting traffic. I’ve gotten more hits today than I’ve ever gotten before. I’ve also had more people online at one time than ever before - 139!!!
After I discovered how well that article was doing with StumbleUpon, I added a Google Adsense block to it, which surely benefit me some more.
What is the point of this post, you ask? Well, basically I’m telling you that when your right articles meet StumbleUpon, something magical happens. Hehe. If you have a blog and you don’t have StumbleUpon, you’re missing out on some valuable traffic - and even some valuable entertainment. Whenever I get bored, I can spend hours stumbling and rating interesting websites!
The thing is, I never would have seen that that article would have had StumbleUpon potential. It just listed five helpful site tools! But because that post was stumbled, so many new records have been broken on this blog in just one or two days. Like I said, if you haven’t already, you really need to join StumbleUpon, or else you’re missing out on great opportunities for traffic. Even if not every post is a StumbleUpon hit, each post will still get you some traffic.
