STUMBLEUPON

2. Introduction
 StumbleUpon is a web search engine that
searches and recommends content to the
users.
 It allows users to discover and rate Web
pages, photos, and videos acceding to the
tastes and interests.
 StumbleUpon exist in the toolbar version too
in order to rate the content.
 Toolbar works with Firefox, Google chrome,
and internet-explorer.

3. How to use it to promote your
website
 StumbleUpon is acknowledged as a massive
traffic generator to a website
 This traffic is generated when “stumbling” your
website.
 It is done readers clicking the “I Like it!” button on the
toolbar while on your site.
 Or by using social share button
 This will lead your content for a quick review and
once stumbleupon “discovered” your website it
will be available for other stumbleupon users.

4. How To Make Your Site
“Sticky”
 You obviously need to do what you can to make
your site stand out. Such things include:
 Having a nice web design. Viewers are most attracted
by professional web designs. Its just like channel
surfing, remember.
 Having craploads of content. You want to have a lot of
content to offer so that they cannot see all your site
has to offer on one, short visit. You need to WOW
them and cause them to want to bookmark you and
come back (or hit that “I like it” button).
 Limit the Ads. Advertising is necessary, but don’t make
it outweigh the content. That’s asking for a sure
bounce.

5. How Can I Rake in the
Visitors?
 StumbleUpon does not just come right out and say what to do to get favored.
 Hare the things I see that can be done to get the most bang out of StumbleUpon.
 Get a bunch of users to click the “I Like It” button on your page. But, really work
for that rather than cross your fingers and hope. Offering up some serious
linkbait is your best change of getting that to happen. Do something to WOW
the viewer and you have a much higher chance of getting them to click the
magic button. And the more people that do that, the higher “ranked” your site
will be with StumbleUpon and the more traffic you get.
 Get others to “like” your site. You can seed StumbleUpon by submitting your own site.
 Build up your network. The more “friends” you build up for your StumbleUpon profile, the
more stumblers will notice your stuff..
 Don’t just submit your own sites, stumble other’s work too according t your taste
 Choose good tags when you tag a site.
 Try to keep the tags broad.
 More specific tagging probably won’t work very well.
 Put a Stumble button onto your site to remind people to vote for your site.
 You can form a group of like-minded webmasters who can stumble each other.
