Using Stumbe Upon to get lots of traffic?

    How can I experience a spike in traffic from Stumble upon? I see some of you posting about it, but is there anything that will encourage it to happen?? How can I get lots of traffic using Stumble upon? I doesn't seem that stumble upon is providing much traffic for me..

    Thank you!:)

    its not that good traffic to be honest, bounce rate goes mega up, its decent to get a few hits for alexa purpose and that and a bit of exposure, ppl are on ur site for 5 secs and then they shoot off

    depending on what your content is you can ask the readers to stumble your site if they found it helpful or useful

    Really? This is how you're supposed to run StumbleUpon, I'm not sure how you were using it before...

    you just need a lot of stumblers stumbling your story, thats it. more thumbs up, more visibility meaning more traffic.

    not to burst your bubble, SU traffic has high bounce rate and VERY low conversion rate if any

    stumbleupon. I thought that was dead!

    In the beginning you get a lot of traffic(1000/UV) but then it, suddenly, flops so be careful.

    But, Why would anyone stumble us just because we have PM him or send him request for stumbling. What can be the other person benefit in it?

    Stumbleupon might give your site a lot of traffic, but its not going to be very targeted traffic.

    On just about all of my sites, traffic from stumble has anywhere from an 85% - 95% bounce rate. With a bounce rate that high, dont waste a lot of time on it.

    Stumbleupon only gives you traffic for a short while. After that you won't get any more stumbles no matter how much effort you put in.

    Yes it is good way to get free traffic, another good way to get traffic is digg.

    Stumbelupon and digg both dose fine to get good traffic.

    Just keep promoting your stuff, mostly on Twitter and SU and you'll gain boatloads of traffic.

    Yes Stumble Upon will play a vital role in the website traffic. Stumble upon widely used for social bookmarking as well.

    That is really interesting, I wasn't aware of that... How long did it take before it stopped generating traffic?

    Yeah, right. Coz now more and more users start promoting there and so the quality of traffic went down.

    I m getting more then 60% of my traffic through Stumbleupon. First of all u will have to make a thematic or called categorized group of people and make a circle. Now you can share ur site directly through the stumble upon toolbar directly to your friends. This is more effective and you will get max traffic through this activity......
