Stumble vs. digg

Hi

I see that more and more people use stumble. What happened to digg? In the sales forum everybody wants to exchange a stumble. How come not that many want to exchange diggs? Is stumble more popular or is it worth more links or what?? Thanx.

 

Don't really know what happened to Digg, but why not use them both?

 

Yes of course but everybody is using Stumble now.

 

Stumble will drive you more traffic for less money and work than digg.

Digg is very hard to get onto the frontpage now, unless you have lots of money to spend.

Digg is still great, but only if you have enough people to digg your story.

 

I think people have found that clicks from stumble spend more time on your site than digg.

 

Digg - Mainly targets more technical topics. Works better for news, and webmaster stuff.

StumbleUpon - Works better for entertainment, and other non-technical sites. Also great for videos.

 

I just signed up for stumbleupon. Could anyone direct me to ..what to do now?

How do I add my story? On digg its very easy.

 

stumbleupon is working good for me than digg because sometimes no one noticed articles i put on digg but on stumble upon people who even add me is clicking my site

 

Digg only seems to work if you get on the front page, which is hard to do. If you have 10 people stumble your page though you can get a few hundred visitors a day. Yesterday I got 300 visitors from stumble upon alone, from 10 stumbles of my article

 

Digg exchanges now result in a ban. I'm assuming that Stumble will eventually follow as their guidelines have now changed to include "faking it" as something that's against the guidelines (and I assume exchanges would be considered fake).

Though, I only use Stumble. Unless I actually have some type of announcement, my niche just does not fit within the categories offered by Digg... However, if your site fits within Digg, digging and Stumbling would likely be to the best effect.

For those that ask how to "digg" or "stumble" something -> RTFM. It's not all that hard.

 

I prefer stumble because it is easier to use and people notice it more.

 

Stumble has long ago outpaced Digg

 

To the OP. Make this thread have a Poll. IMO Digg sucks and Stumble rocks.

 

Stumble in my experience has converted better

 

I'll have to look into Stumble more. I didn't even think of using it as a marketing tool. I've been focusing my time on digg. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

 

I use stumble upon to get quick traffic to my sites. It's a real gem.

 

The efforts put while stumbling are less than those while you are digging around!

but the stumble traffic is not so consistent as the digg one!

Easy come easy go!

 

well, basically stumble upon enjoys more attention right now because it could be used like some minutes a day and it gives you decent results. As for Digg, you could be logged in all day submitting interesting content and you still don't know whether you'll make it.

 

stumble are just passed traffic where digg is more targeted interested readers, a lot of marketers out there think stumble upon is great traffic source when in fact it really isnt - since I can be on your site for just 2 seconds

I stumble pages all the time if I find a page I like I stay on it otherwise I just keep hitting the button until I do find a good site

digg is more targeted since users do vote for your page - but it is harder to gain more attention

 

From my experience, I get more traffic with Stumble, but it isn't good traffic--not sticky, not clickers.

I've had posts that did ok on Digg and I'm still getting traffic off of them. The aggregate probably catches up to what I'd get from Stumble, and as someone said, Digg traffic is more targeted. From what I've seen the Digg visitors tend to stay longer on my site.
