StumbleUpon is a great website that attracts traffic to a blog but this is not a service of automated visits or some stuffs like that. For people who don’t know how to use it, StumbleUpon, as the name sounds allows you to stumble upon people web pages that attracts you and also allows you to stay updated based on the interest you have selected. How is this done? As a webmaster, you can just login or register on Stumbleupon if you’re yet to do that and submit your web pages or blog posts. When it’s done, you will get visits to your blog from people who are interested in your posts and will like to know more. But how do you utilize this website to drive tons of traffic to your website?
To get the best from this website, there are certain things you should do to attract more readers to your blog. The tips I’m going to share with you in this post are very easy to implement and only take little of your time but it’s traffic we are talking about here so you better sit tight and work on these tips and see how the traffic will flow to your blog easily.
-
Post Titles: As a blogger, you should learn how to write attractive post titles and also description of the post must be clearly stated as this will tell your potential readers who are about clicking to know what they are expecting to see in the post. What I seriously put into mind is the post title as this is the eye catcher, so write a post title that can even attract people to the post.
-
Follow Users: Following users on StumbleUpon is another great step in pushing traffic to your blog. Stumbleupon is just like facebook or twitter the way I see it, the more follower you have and people you follow, the better. This is because when you submit a post, it is the readers that are connected to you that will see it first before it spreads due to the stumbling and you know there are millions of web pages being submitted everyday, so as people connected to you see it first and stumble upon it the more likely it would go viral.
Note: when searching for readers to follow you are to first target the readers that are interested in your blog niche. So if you post about fashion, do not look for readers that like mobile phones or gadgets.
-
Encourage Readers To Stumble On Your post: Encouraging your reader to stumble on your post boosts your chances of been easily seen and “stumbled” by users on your website. You can make your users stumble your post easily by inserting a StumbleUpon button below or on top of the post and at the end of the post ask them to click on the button, you will be amazing to the amount of traffic that swims to your blog in no time.

Leave A Comment And Also Tags: I recently realize that when you don’t leave a comment on the post during submission, it may not easily get seen. I don’t know how StumbleUpon sort all submitted website pages but to be on the safer side, try as much as possible to complete the spaces presented in the form while submitting the post and also the tag the post with keywords readers will be interested in.
-
Stumble on people’s posts: Yes! You don’t expect to just come to the website and submit your post link and leave it like that, I won’t suggest you do just that but I will advise that you also stumble on webpages too and expect a something in return.
