sorry scott, you lost me on this one, are you saying you put some funny pics on a site, hit “i like it” on stumbleupon and you got thousands of visitors just like that?

All I can say is wow. I just read about StumbleUpon and eBay in talks…guess this is a great way to generate traffic =)

I love stumble! And whenever I see something I love, thumbs up! One time an online friend of mine asked some blog readers what stumble was bc suddenly she was getting LOADS of traffic – I then told her I added her site to it!

I’ll do a follow up post to show the effect later but it was a short spike, not worth spending much time on and no a great gain in the long term, a bit of fun out of interest on my part.

I guess I was a bit harsh with my previous comment, I guess in your case it worked in a much batter manner than it did on my sites (mostly unique content). But still when I see people trying to buy votes for sites like digg, stumbleupon etc. it makes me wonder is it really worth it?

Agreed Yogesh, it was just a test as I have never held much value in short peaks of untargetted traffic but backlinks did come from it and still I get traffic on that test domain so it was just sharing an experiment.

But what really matter is do you get “quality traffic”?

I mean you made a few quick bucks (which most people don’t) there is hardly any return traffic unless you are stumbling some thing vary unique and thought provoking. Same goes for other social bookmarking sites like digg and reddit, besides providing little boasting value it basically brings nothing!

And yet there are many who try to “buy” such traffic. After all those who are using stumbleupon would rather click stumble button again than click on your ads.

I totally agree with you. My stats way up when I join Stumble. An article about the air car on my site: http://www.puregreencars.com
was read 2600 times in one day.
