I have two campaigns in progress and am seeing good results.

I’d like to know what percentage of stumblers typically give a thumbs up in a successful campaign? Obviously it depends on the quality of your site – but a range might indicate to me what these folks thought of the site.

If you have a great blog or website that needs to be discovered, then this is a great source. Guaranteed to get 100 people visiting your site for the first time for only 5 dollars. Only Subway can beat that.

Sites like stumbleupon.com and digg.com are increasingly being used by marketers looking to take advantage of social media. Although this type of marketing is in its infancy, sites are realizing all the marketing dollars being spent, and providing ways for companies to use the site as an advertising medium.

This idea relates back to the idea that marketers want their ads to “go viral”, that is, be passed on from consumer to consumer, not marketer to consumer. That has to happen naturally, but a little money can give campaigns a kick-start.

“SU is a great service, but its traffic never converts.”

I can say that this is untrue because I have purchased stuff from sites I’ve found stumbling.

Build an effective page with a solid product and the sales will come.

I just can’t get the thing to work. I have submitted several pages and they kick them back and say that they are no good. One of the other sites it tried to submit was my baby http://www.ipodsandappletalk.com I am thankful that it gets enough hits from organic Google and aol that I don’t have to worry about it.

Good advice. I’ve gotten quite a bit of organic traffic from SU, and I’m hoping to get a lot more with some strategic ad-buying.

So does anyone have an answer re: whether StumbleUpon campaigns/organic is OK to use with AdSense?

Or would SU activity be seen as “artificially” boosting your traffic?

Does anyone know for sure?

Hey all. I’m trying to get a campaign approved with SU right now and I thought it might help everyone to know that it’s not actually Paypal OR credit card. It’s Paypal, period. You do need a paypal account to pay SU. That’s how they do business. I had to get a paypal account so I thought I’d let you all know to have one before you try this if you decide to do it. Thanks for the article though, it helped me decide to finally try this. It’ll be the first time I’ve tried anything like it.

Cheers,
JD

I notice that most of your readers seem to be guys. Do you think the readers of SU would have any interest in a blog for women, specifically content geared towards Christian women?

I’d like to try it, but I’m hesitant because my little blog is all about helping young wives and moms with little ones.

Any thoughts?

My free traffic just exploded recently thanks to someone bookmarking one of my blog posts in Stumbleupon. Thousands of visitors in just a couple of days was way more than I’ve h ad before.

I’m definitely going to investigate the advertising aspect as I believe viral traffic is definitely the best value.

I’ve been to StumbleUpon before and like’d it’s social bookmarking interface, but never knew that you can pay for visitors within it. I’m going to put this great information to use!

This has been a great help. I can’t seem to understand the whole StumbleUpon culture, maybe a few paid visitors will get things going. If not once again it’s only $5, I’ve spent much worse for less.

I believe that stumbleupon is a great place to put your blog. I get a lot of traffic from stumbleupon. Stumbleupon really does work.
