This was a really nice overview, filled with helpful screenshots.
Great article, Meg :)
I love great descriptive articles like these. Thanks.
I agree, this is an excellent post. The most comprehensive overview of StumbleUpon I've seen. I'll have to dust off my SU account and get back in there and use it some more now. Thanks Meg!
StumbleUpon Was completely under my radar until a couple of weeks ago when a site I was working on got 1000+ uniques in the first 3 days it went live. Since checking it out I've been wondering how long it will be before they find an emaciated body in front of a computer still clicking the stumble button.
DavidLaFerney - StumbleUpon (for me) goes up and down. Some days I'll get tons of traffic, then none for a week or two. It's an odd cycle.
Thanks for the guide Meg! I think I fit into the category of people who were having trouble "getting" how StumbleUpon did things. This helped a lot.
Great post, Meg. Very thorough.
I have a CSS list post that still gets daily traffic from StumbleUpon. It's make up about 20% of my daily traffic.
I wrote StumbleUpon traffic is great for a new site. I was impressed with the initial surge of traffic my site received.
Meg - Thank you for a fantastic article.
Thanks everyone for your feedback (d'oh I only just realised there were comments here)!
It took me quite a while to put together, so I'm glad people found it useful :)
great post Meg - great to see you Sphinning! I wonder about Stumble, how is everyone finding the traffic? Does it convert in any way? Or is it useful for exposure?
For me it has been a great exposure tool with some residual traffic after the surge, one post also went to digg after making the buzz page at SU.
Hi Rod - thanks! Great to be Sphinning :) I've had quite a lot of SU traffic, but I'm not sure how it converts (if you count subscribers as a conversion). Exposure is always good, and if you only get a fraction of the people coming back, it's still more than you would have had, if that makes sense.
Stumbleupon is very cool indeed. Im amazed at times at the traffic spikes it sends. Shhh everyone, keep it quiet ;)
