(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Out of all the social media sites on the web today, Stumble Upon is one of the best when it comes to generating traffic for your website or blog.\u00a0 This is because the users of the site are looking for interesting content in specific niches and if you or someone else has recommended your site, it will already be on the website \u2013 and be ready to be seen by millions of users.\u00a0 So how can you start getting traffic from Stumble Upon or increase the amount that you already receive?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Write Good Content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stumble Upon users are after one thing \u2013 interesting content.\u00a0 But with so many different types of content this could get confusing.\u00a0 Below are the main types of content Stumble Upon\u2019s users look for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lists \u2013 Top 10 lists may seem a little boring or a little 1990s but they are hugely popular with the Stumble Upon community.<\/li>\n<li>Images \u2013 the photography community on the site is HUGE, so including amazing (or at least unique) photos on your site is a huge plus.<\/li>\n<li>Tutorials \u2013 how tos and step by step guides are also very popular on the site.<\/li>\n<li>Infographics \u2013 these aren\u2019t easy to make but if you know how to do them, I can guarantee they will be a hit with the users of Stumble Upon.<\/li>\n<li>Videos \u2013 Like the images, the video community on Stumble Upon is huge.\u00a0 If you run a video site or integrate videos into your posts \u2013 you are likely to build a quick following.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If a user likes what they see or read they will click the \u201clike\u201d button \u2013 yes, it\u2019s a bit like Facebook.\u00a0 Be warned though, if they don\u2019t like it, they will click the \u201cdislike\u201d button.\u00a0 Get too many of these and it\u2019s bye-bye to your webpage\u2019s visibility.<\/p>\n<p>Sites that don\u2019t do too well on Stumble Upon include product reviews (unless you are well known, no-one is going to be interested) and poorly written content \u2013 whilst these will both be accepted to the site, they are likely to be disliked so much that they will be non-existent soon enough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Build Followers and Share Content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Like Twitter, you will see that Stumble Upon also allows people to \u201cfollow you\u201d.\u00a0 In a similar way to Twitter you can either follow people who \u201clike\u201d pages you are interested in or follow people from a business angle \u2013 the more you follow people, the more they will follow you back.\u00a0 Once you build up a base of followers, you will be in a good position to directly share your website content.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing to do if you are new to the website is create a great profile page.\u00a0 Fill out your user info including your likes and dislikes, and write a short biography of yourself including a link to your website.\u00a0 This will help people to find you better when they search for people with similar interests.<\/p>\n<p>It is important however not to spam your followers.\u00a0 Don\u2019t \u201cshare\u201d the same page from your website more than once unless you want them to get annoyed with you and do take the time to read through and \u201clike\u201d other people\u2019s content too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paid Discovery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stumble Upon also has an option that enables you to advertise.\u00a0 This works in exactly the same way as the above sharing system but it ensures that a set number of people each day will see your webpage.\u00a0 This is very cheap \u2013 especially when you compare it to other advertising methods \u2013 and can also help your content to go viral.\u00a0 Your campaigns can be targeted to a set audience and to set subjects, enabling people in a set demographic with specific interests to see your site.\u00a0 There are a number of people who have seen a huge increase in subscribers due to the paid discovery option on the site, and people who have recorded higher than average organic views after their advertising campaign ended.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you go for the paid option, the organic or a mixture of the two, the site has so much potential.\u00a0 Make sure to add a \u2018stumble upon\u2019 icon to all of your web pages to enable other Stumblers to add your content to the site too; and be mindful not to spam. \u00a0Stumble Upon really is a great way to increase the traffic to your blog and has led to the success of many blog and website owners since it was founded.<\/p>\n<p><i><html><br \/>\n\t<head><br \/>\n\t\t<title><\/title><br \/>\n\t<\/head><br \/>\n\t<body><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
