Using StumbleUpon To Increase Earnings

Saturday, 16 February 2008

For those of you not familiar with StumbleUpon - StumbleUpon is a site that helps you discover new sites in almost every different category possible. You simply download their toolbar and click Stumble! Then they take you to a site related to what you're interested in.

Now I'll show you some simple steps to use StumbleUpon to your advantage to increase referrals and earnings for your GPT sites or other money making opportunities.

Navigate to your site or whatever page you want alot of people to see and click stumble! in the toolbar. Make sure to add it to the correct category so that the people visiting your site will actually be interested.

Now start adding friends on StumbleUpon and have other people stumble the site. There's many Stumble exchanges out there such as stumblexchange.com. Do a Google search for more.

Exchange reviews or interviews with a site similar to your blog or website. Contact the site owner and let him/her know how it will benefit both. As soon as the your interviews are posted on each of your sites - Stumble their homepage(your review will be there) and stumble the direct page the article is on. Then have them do the same for you. Also stumble your own.

Watch traffic pour in! This can get you hundreds or thousands of visitors within a day to your page.

You should know that the StumbleUpon traffic will slowly or drastically die down. This isn't a steady flow of visitors but you can stumble each new page you make but you also need to stumble other sites. The more people that stumble your site, the more traffic it will get. Also, if you get so many stumbles in an amount of time, your page will be on StumbleUpon's website which will get you way more visitors.

This is just another great tool to drive visitors to your sites to increase your earnings. StumbleUpon is also great for discovering new sites that you may like. I use it constantly. Try it out and see how it works.
