I hang out in SU for friends, community, and cool content. The fact that our blog receives thousands of visitors from SU is a happy extra. I hope you all check out StumbleUpon and join. DO NOT start by bookmarking your own content. Like all social communities it is best to let others promote you and for you to promote others. Find me in SU and say hello. The user name is aimClear. I only have 2 negatives about SU, which based on how I typically study things quite closely is impressive.
I have noticed an anti-commercial use side to some of the stumblers, and they can easily organise burying through use of their blogs and certain tags. Andy, Yes, I see your point and agree.
In SMO integrity is a double edge sword. Excellent post! I, too, am a satisfied stumbler and I pitch this tool as often as I can. I would hate to see their stuff mixed in with S. Perhaps, eBay will simply offer an S. Yeah, I have had stumbleupon for a while now, only time I find a bad website is when I fill in criteria I dont like as much as I think I do. Great post, very descriptive. I love Stumble too — a friend who I turned onto stumble sent this post to me thru stumble….
That would make it so SU users are notified when a blog links to their SU stuff. Tell ebay to build in pingbacks and trackbacks now if they really want to make up for it. Then they will at least give us a case study in converging blogs and SMO.
I use several of these sites daily, and have tried out dozens. I also jump on any new ones I find, and StumbleUpon is in my top three. Go to www. You should be now on your profile within SU and on the right hand side of the page it will lists your followers and following. If you have nobody set-up then these fields will be empty. If you know somebody who is using SU you can search for their handle. When you click on a profile. If so you can click the follow button and keep track of what we are liking.
It is recommended to build up your following status. The more people you follow the more likely it is they will follow you in return at some point. And the more people who follow you in return, the more SU connections you will have to share your favorites with.
Are you seeing the link yet? So be patient and good things will come of it. On the SU toolbar there are a number of options to share articles that you have marked as your favorite in SU.
You can share this across various social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Linked In and of course with other SU members. Click any of the buttons while on the article you wish to share and it will automatically bring up a screen in which you can link it to your other social media accounts and instantly share said article.
Sharing with other SU users is another story. SU users do not want their share inbox to be flooded with articles from one user, so etiquette is to send shares every other day. You will see on your stumbleupon toolbar how many stumble inbox items you have here.
Click this and you will be brought to a page that somebody has shared with you. If you have your own website StumbleUpon can be a great tool to promote your content. There are however guidelines which we have followed and have made it very successful for us.
But following these simple steps can ensure success:. Registering and Set-up Firstly, you will need to go to www. Stumbling This is where things get fun. Click the stumble button located in the toolbar it looks like this: This action will take you to a randomly selected webpage that is based on your interests. Thumbs-Up you like it!! Make the most of StumbleUpon by using it regularly. Then, when you come across blog posts or infographics you like, use the StumbleUpon button to like them on the network.
This is also how you begin promoting your own content. Along with the content you share, highlight your own posts and photos, too. Once you set up your StumbleUpon account and begin using it regularly, what should you keep in mind? What general principles ought to guide your activity? To see the best results from StumbleUpon, use it regularly. Rather than logging in once a month, try to dedicate regular time to scroll through and submit content.
Another way to help your site gain exposure on StumbleUpon is to make it easy for your existing readers to promote it. Add buttons to your website that invite visitors to stumble your stuff. When they do, they promote your brand to a wider audience and help bring you new traffic.
Taking this step can play a key role in driving more website traffic, as a study by BrightEdge Technologies shows that sites with social share buttons received seven times more shares than those without.
So add the button to either the top or bottom of web pages and blog posts. For better results you could add it to the top and the bottom.
