Yesterday I pimped some sites on StumbleUpon. Extra 45% Visitors (6k or so). Take note!

Lol. This was kind of a joke, but it's true.

It only applies to sites that have viral content in nature.

Basic formula:

Create (or find) some pictures, videos, etc that are extremely viral.

Submit them to StumbleUpon (or have a friend do it). Try a few different sets / pieces of content until you find a formula that works.

Note: spamming SU with crappy content won't work. Your stumble only takes off if it's actually given thumbs up by other users, which in turn causes it to get shown more often.


So StumbleUpon is easier to see results from than Digg or Reddit -- which is useful info.

(Of course you can always get to the Digg front page by doing something like "10 Nude College Babes Who Read Digg". There's a certain formula.) ;-)


sabat - so true.

/me begins working up post. finds research exhausting. :)


Could you explain?


'Could you explain? ... I would like to know too'

probably means submit to stumbleupon and increase in visitors due to greater audience.


I would like to know too


great tip!
