In our continual effort to build traffic and links for this site we have recently joined StumbleUpon. While we have yet to see any results, our research shows this is a good link and traffic builder. Lets emphasize this is only one traffic and link building tool, but its reported success is worth investigating.
What is StumbleUpon?
StumbleUpon is a simple social bookmarking site, setup slightly different than Digg and Del.ico.us. Digg and Del.ico.us are an excellent method of gaining large quantities of traffic in a short space of time. StumbleUpon has over a million users and generally refers a lower (but still significant) amount of traffic at a more consistent rate, whereas sites like Digg can send thousands of hits in the space of a few days for promoted stories which have made the frontpage.
How does StumbleUpon work?
StumbleUpon works
different from Dig and Del.ico.us because instead of listing popular stories on the homepage, StumbleUpon works by downloading a toolbar which allows you to rate a website as thumbs up or down and view relevant websites (by clicking Stumble!) based on your own preferences.
