April 2008 – StumbleUdon

April 5th, 2008 by Andreas from XavierMedia.com

Most of you all know about StumbleUpon and most of you also know that it's hard to get the first few Sumbles to get some attention to your newly posted article. Now there's a new way to get the first Stumbles to get some extra boost to your Stumble campaign. It's called StumbleUdon and is an automated free Stumble exchange where you exchange a few stumbles with other members. You get somewhere between 5 to 15 free Stumbles each day (depending on how many visitors you've referred :D ) and you can buy some extra too if you want to.

To get really good results with this exchange you need to remember to submit quality content (and not spammy affiliate pages). One of my more successful articles got over 1000 visitors from Stumble by just using five free credits from StumbleUdon. That's about 200% up!

I started testing StumbleUdon in the end of February and could see an increase in the visitors count already taht month. Compare March and January in this graph and you'll see that it's possible to make some really good traffic if you got quality content:

Some suggestions to succeed with Stumbles

To get good results you need to submit quality content. A few things I've learnt is that Stumble users like content without "expiration dates" (i.e. content that's valid today, tomorrow and maybe even next year) like for example Fun stuff from Google. News, contests, sweepstakes and time limited articles are not doing well at all. Numbered lists seems to be wroking well too :D
