StumbleUpon is a service that allows you to surf the internet by using a toolbar which services random web pages whenever you click “Stumble.” You have the ability to select what category to browse and the option to rate and review each page.
You may also use StumbleUpon as a social networking site, connecting to like-minded individuals and share your findings within the group.
For more information see StumbleUpon: A Beginner’s Guide
It is a great way to not only share interesting web pages and images, but also your own opinions on a website submitted or "thumbed-up" by other users. After thumbing up a website, you will give the site more exposure and increase the possibility of others viewing it.
The great thing about StumbleUpon is that it offers more than one way to get others to view your website. One of the most under-utilized functions is the ability to send articles, blogs, newsletters, etc to friends–even ones who don’t use StumbleUpon.
So..... why do I think this is so great......BECAUSE IT REALLY WORKS!
I've been using it for years - stumbling other websites to get ideas and to see what is out there. I've also been adding my business sites (i.e. blog, articles, press releases) to get more exposure.
I use Google Analytics to monitor where my sales are coming from, what keywords people are using to get to me, what keywords are profitable, etc.... and I saw that last month - I had 10 sales from StumbleUpon users! Just from adding my "Gifts for Sale" page to my profile. Every time I add a new site to my profile - I get between 100-200 StumbleUpon visitors to my site.
Give it a try.... it's a great way to get new visitors to your site!
