Tips for generating more stumbleupon traffic (free guide)

Over the next few days I am going to post some tips I have discovered that have increased my stumbleupon traffic a great deal. This guide will help you get quick traffic as well as help generate long term residual traffic for your site. So, lets get started shall we? Lets start with tips for building a powerful profile. This is the foundation for long term success.

How to Build a Power Stumbeupon Profile

The strength of each of your StumbleUpon votes works in the same way exponential math does. StumbleUpon uses a couple of factors in its algorithm to determine the value of each stumble, but there are two main factors that users can influence.

* Reciprocal Addition of Friends - Adding friends to your StumbleUpon profile increases the power of each stumble. Participate in friend exchange requests on Digital Point to build up a significant group of friends, that you can rely upon whenever you are in need of stumbles.

* Personal Profile Reviews - Positive reviews of your personal Stumbler profile can reflect positively to the quality and quantity of traffic that is directed to your website or blog post. This is especially important in establishing residual traffic, which can trickle in weeks after your post has initially been stumbled.

* Contact Top Stumblers - Getting in touch with the Top Stumblers in your niche can be very advantageous in driving massive amounts of traffic to your site. As your authority increases with the number of reciprocal friend additions and profile reviews, you will also find other stumblers contacting you for exchanges, as you become one among the Top Stumblers.

* Provide a Stumble Button for Each Post - It’s simple to do and your readers won’t thank you enough if they’re accessing your post from a computer without the StumbleUpon toolbar.

A little known feature of stumbleupon is the fact that you can not only stumble web sites, but also the profiles of fellow stumblers. When browsing for people on stumbleupon you can actually click the thumbs up icon on their actual profile which gives that person more importance. This is a great thing to do to mutual friends, and even fans of yours because overall it makes your own profile stronger. There is also the chance that the fans will do the same for you thus increasing the importance of your profile even more.
