This post is the continuation of the ongoing series 'How to Publicize Your Next Blog Post' & through this post I'll try to clarify how Stumble Upon works.
Stumble Upon! Hope you know this name? If not, then let me tell you,
Stumble Upon is a discovery search engine that searches sites submitted to them with tags. You can search weblog, photos, videos through stumble upon. It's fun & share the news with the world while visiting a site.To use Stumble Upon to drive traffic to your site is just like another way to create a network, which takes time. To use it the most effective way, first signup with them & install the stumble upon toolbar on your Mozilla & IE browser, then hit the stumble! button to stumble few sites & let yourself aware how to use it.
To promote your own site & blog you need to stumble your articles with proper tags, make sure its containing proper tags. If you are submitting an article about search engine optimization with the tags like humor, cooking, then it won't pull much traffic fir sure. So make sure your tags are accurate.
Use a Stumble button within your blog post, just like mine (make sure to hit the stumble button to share this post). It will increase the chances of stumbling.
I strongly recommended not to stumble only your contents, it will leave a bad impression on others.
The most interesting way to use stumble is make friends, get interact with them, show them what you are going through, ask them to visit your site, stumble their contents & vice versa.
Just like others its a long time investment, more the time you spend, more traffic you will gain.
If you like this article then stumble it through the stumble button along with this post. You can also share this with Digg, Facebook & Twitter.
