Increase Blog traffic using Stumbleupon




Hello Readers, Every Blogger wants to drive more and more traffic to their blogs. A good traffic shows the popularity of the Blog and helps you improve your Global rankings as well. I have written a few posts on Blogging and SEO tips that help in increasing Blog traffic. This post focuses on another good way of getting a lot of referral traffic using Stumbleupon. You must have heard about it. It is a social bookmarking website, but it is more than just a social bookmarking website. Stumbleupon allows you to like or dislike WebPages and share them among your networks and followers on it. You can recommend pages that you like, comment about them, review them as well.
Increase Blog traffic using Stumbleupon

I just started a few days back and must say it is fun using Stumbleupon, but one thing is very clear that there is no shortcut for driving the traffic to your sites and blogs. It is a systematic process and takes time. You need to write good quality articles so that people share your articles and gift you traffic.

What is Stumbleupon?

Stumbleupon is a social bookmarking website like delicious. It has a better user interface and much more to give you. You can enable sharing with your followers so that they can suggest you WebPages and you can do the same. More stumbles to your articles means you will get more views and traffic will flow to your blog. You can install a Stumbleupon toolbar and instantly share the WebPages you like on it with your followers.

How to use Stumbleupon?

It is a great website though people face troubles using this. Sometimes they just share their own pages on it and that’s not the right thing to do. You should not share your own webpages it is not considered good and you may be penalized for this as well. I am writing a few things that you should follow if you want to increase traffic using Stumble upon:

  • First of all complete your Profile, incomplete profiles do not have a good impression.
  • Grow your network, ask people to follow you and follow people/blogs.
  • You can follow me on Stumbleupon, i will follow you back.
  • Enable sharing with your Followers so that they can suggest you pages they like and you can share pages with them as well.
  • Ask your followers to stumble your articles and do same. This is very important.
  • Search people you know or people who writes on similar topics and connect with them.
  • Maintain your lists and Favorite, review and comment on them.
  • Install the Stumbleupon Toolbar and share pages on the fly. Recommend others to do the same.
  • Add a Stumble button in every post you like, so that people can easily share it with stumbleupon. If anyone has problem in doing this they can comment here, I will post a tutorial for this.

All these seem to be little tips but these all are very important. Stumble upon is all about growing your network reach, building a good following. If you write Quality content people will voluntary share your articles on it. Many pro Bloggers / beginners use stumbleupon and you may find your articles go viral on this network if it gets plenty of stumbles. So I recommend everyone to use it. If have not started yet give it a try. You will see results in few days. Follow everything I mentioned above.
