Stumble Upon is great for searching for information on your personal or professional interests but it can also help you drive traffic to your own website or blog.
Once you have installed the Stumble Upon toolbar you can check to see if your own website is already listed. If it isn't, you can tag and review it and then give it a thumbs up.
Now it will be listed when someone else searches for the related topic. If you have just written a great article or have some great content on your webpage, you will want to get it listed with Stumble Upon. Once your site gets 'stumbled' by other users you usually start to see traffic immediately which can help you establish your reader base and generate exposure.
In order to keep those visitors, make sure you have a good website design and good content. Visitors usually only stay an average of 10 seconds before deciding if your site is thumbs up or down! In order to keep the visitor coming back, be sure to provide a place that is visable for them to sign up for your newsletter and consider giving away special content to subscribers only. Be sure to welcome new visitors and provide great content once your site has been stumbled.
Last but not least, try holding a contest-everyone loves free stuff and it will keep them coming back! Remember, Stumble Upon is a social website. Be sure to build your community and review other users websites.
As you can see, if used correctly, Stumble Upon is another great way to drive traffic to your website and build your social network.
