Spent an hour this evening listening to colleagues discuss free online marketing techniques. In fact, the chat was only meant to last 10 minutes – but once we’d started, it proved hard to stop.
Everyone had a tale of free tools that helped spread their site’s word.So no surprise this evening to spot this story, claiming that StumbleUpon is thoroughly good news when it comes to giving your site a traffic hike. I can verify this: the site you’re reading was Stumbled recently, and I’m still bathing in the glow.
StumbleUpon: Exposure That Lasts: “On the contrary, you only need 3-4 thumbs of approval from Stumblers before a decent number of visitors start coming in to your site. The more ‘likes’ (thumbs up, or votes) you get, the more traffic you will get. Unlike Digg, where you can get 5,000 visitors per hour for a few hours and then next to none from there on, StumbleUpon sends you sustained traffic over long stretches of time.”
