Stumbleupon Traffic Secrets Part 1

By now just about everyone has heard of Stumbleupon and if you have not well, you are out of the loop!

The quick and dirty explanation of Stumbleupon
Stumbleupon is a download able application that attaches to your Internet browser as a toolbar. There is a button on the toolbar that acts as your "stuble" button. What it does is take you to a random website based on your preferences that you used when you installed the toolbar.

How to use Stumbleupon to drive massive traffic to your website.
The first thing you need to do is use the toolbar. The more active you are in the "Stumbleupon" community the more you are trusted by Stumbleupon. Which in turn will lead to Stumbleupon sending more traffic to your websites.

So how do you stay active, it's easy...

1. Submit New Sites - Click on the Stumbleupon button and when you land on a new site click the thumbs up button. If the site has already been reviewed you are done here. If not fill out the form and be descriptive about the website. Other people will be reading this and could click on your profile to check out your websites.

2. Suggest Topics - If you find a website that does not fit into any categories listed request a new one. Click Menu > Suggest New Topic.

3. Make Friends - Making friends will build your reputation and trust as an active Stumbleupon user.

4. Report Spam - If you find a website that has been added to the wrong category (which happens ofter) such as adult sites in "funny" report them as spam. Click on Menu > Spam

The most important part of staying active is stumbling and giving the thumb up or down for websites you like and dislike. This shows the Stumbleupon bots that you are adding value to the community and they will reward you by sending you traffic.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.
