Use StumbleUpon to Increase Blog Traffic

Sunday June 15, 2008

StumbleUpon is a social bookmarking tool that has the potential to drive a lot of traffic to your blog. Unlike Digg that is known for bringing only short bursts of increased traffic, StumbleUpon tends to have longer lasting positive effects. It's also very hard to get noticed on Digg, but StumbleUpon gives every blogger a chance.

Check out my StumbleUpon overview, then compare it to my Digg overview and my 5 tips for using Digg to decide which social tool you'd like to try.

I use my space it’s good at getting you steady traffic if you build up your friends. Social networking does take some time to develop but it can be done.

As long as you keep building up your social media channels over time you will have a steady stream of traffic coming to you site.
