How To Get Web Traffic Using StumbleUpon

We all want more traffic to our websites. After all more traffic means more leads and customers for our businesses. Here's how you can get more web traffic to your website using the social bookmarking service StumbleUpon.

We all know about social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter and you should definitely use those to get more traffic to your website. But have you heard about StumbleUpon. StumbleUpon is the 164th most popular website on the web, yet you rarely hear it mentioned in the media.

So how does StumbleUpon work? StumbleUpon helps people 'stumble' on webpage they find interesting by gathering a list of their interests and demographics when they sign up. It's a fun and clever way to discover new websites from all across the web. How can that help you get more traffic? StumbleUpon let's content creators submit and tag their content. The more relevant your content is to the type of information a user is looking to 'stumble' on the more likely your content will show up.

To get started with StumbleUpon all you need to do is going to their website and create an account. When you're ready to start submitting your content click on the drop down menu below your profile photo/avatar and choose the option to add a page. You'll then be given the opportunity to provide a category, description, and tags describing your content. If you take the time to fill that out thoroughly you should start seeing some visitors from StumbleUpon right away. My personal tracking shows my blogs getting more views organically from StumbleUpon than any other source.
