Stumbled Upon - Is It Worth It?
I read a lot of post yesturday that explained how using stumbled Upon is not worth the trouble. Frankly, the people were saying that their are better uses for time. The traffic does not do anything for a website. Or the traffic will not bring any income into the website, they just don’t click on anything. I tend to disagree.
I have found that stumbled upon traffic is worth the time and effort. Let me explain. Yes, putting in the time for stumbled upon will take time and a lot of effort. Also, the traffic sent to your site may not click anything to make you any money on the initial click through. I could say the same most of the other social website. The key to all of these social websites is having a means to capture the traffic once they hit your site. It is said that it only takes 1 to 5 seconds for each person to see your website and either decide to click away or stay and read on.
How do you keep the reading on people?
- Have a good looking website design. I have been very guilty of not have a eye catching website design. Hell, I still have website that I believe are very ugly. But, don’t take this as a excuse as to just let them go. Work on your website design, visitors will appreciate it.
- Find out a way to get visitors to subscribe to a newletter. Newsletter are still very powerful marketing tools and are still used by a large group of people these days. Don’t discount using one.
- Have a easy way that visitors can subscribe to your rss feed. This is kind of like the newletter. Make it so..
With these tools in place you will have multiple chances to turn window shoppers into paying customers. But you have to have a means to keep people informed. Ask any salesman and they would say that most sales don’t happen with the first encounter. It’s after continous interaction that people cave in and you make the sale. It’s a means of developing trust. Without trust people will just not believe in what you are saying. But with trust, the sky is the limit.
Stumbled Upon - In It Worth It? I would have to say yes.

Nice post and very true. I changed my layout about a week back and have had great results from it and not just from Stumble Upon.
I have to agree about Stumble Upon being good for getting you traffic, it is up to the individual blogger to give that traffic reason to return. You Sir have been Stumbled.
thanksfor the info i’m still trying to figure out stumbleupon. how do you get that big stumble logo on the bottom of your posts??
One of the stumbled Upon logos is just a tag provided by wordpress. The other stumbled upon logos are from a plugin that I installed on this blog. If your interested in that I would check out my post on my top wordpress plugins. Just search my blog and you will find the post.
