| Stumble Upon - Wow! I have to say that not running a tech-heavy forum that DIGG has always been a dissappointment to me as a place to go for marketing anything. Stumble Upon, however, is wide open and so far it has yielded some very positive results. Curious if anyone else is using Stumble Upon and what you think of it?

| I've stumbled my forum but I never saw a lot from it. I've heard it helps some people a ton though, guess it just varies.

| I think the key is to be sure to stumble other things as well and to join groups related to your topic(s).

| I've had two discernable registrations from stumbled threads. That's good enough for the measly effort involved. A++ in my book.

| You shouldn't just stumble one page. As per another thread on here I asked some questions about it. I started stumbling one page a day. I did it last night at like 11:45 PM. From 12 AM until now, I had over 100 people from Stumble come. Do it to one topic or page a day. I would say these kinds of sites will benefit from it the most: Politics, Sports, Specific Interests, etc. General sites don't seem to benefit from it as much IMO. Your site has to be about something in particular to really hit well. Digg does really good with my political forum but does absolutely nothing with my sports forum. I haven't done stumble yet too much for the political site but w ill start. I've noticed I get better results on certain days and certain times and will post all that once I have something conclusive (few months of research). | ||||

| What I find is stumble a specific thread, tool, feature, game - whatever - and classify it well with targeted keywords in your stumble and you're set for traffic. What is important is to stumble more than your own stuff. Go stumble other things so your own stuff is not all you have in your history.

| I am starting to wonder greatly if the effort of all of these social sites is worth it. You get a ton of visitors, but rarely does anyone join and rarely do you see any ad revenue from it...so makes me wonder. | |
