Experience the Impact of StumbleUpon Traffic!
November 15, 2007 – 12:37 amJames Yeang of Friedbeef stumbled my post, 13 Useful Gmail Email Settings That You Probably Miss Out, and I was quite surprised with the outcome. My site seldom gains traffic this high, so I am quite pleased to share the results with you. Check out the graphics gained from 2 website statistical plugins below to understand the impact StumbleUpon brings to TechMalaya.com.

What I Learn From StumbleUpon Based Traffic
Based on this experience,
- StumbleUpon is a great way to gain instant traffic, especially if the person that is stumbling your post has significant contributions to the StumbleUpon community.
- StumbleUpon traffic does not last long so make sure you use them to to earn more fans / feed readers. If you can, create a related entry to the stumbled post so that you can provide better contents for new readers (and earn new subscribers!).
- StumbleUpon traffic is a great way to test the robustness of your hosting provider.
- Unique and useful posts will increase the chance of being stumbled by somebody.
Any experience of being stumbled by somebody? Why don’t you share it here by leaving some comments?

Great to hear that. Congratulations.
SU sends really good traffic, like for example I got and I’m still getting views for a post that I wrote on my blog (over 25,000 pageviews till date) and SU is also sending good traffic to another recent post of mine, already 11,000 views
You should also take care to stumble pages in the right category. It’s very important to get targeted visits.

Trust me… stumbleupon traffic can suddenly comeb back strong… it’s never really dead
I’ve got some old posts which were stumbled - had their spike, and then came back strong months later, because another group of ppl loved it
One more thing… it also depends who stumbled you. I have 100-200 ppl following my stumble discoveries, so when I stumble upon any site, those ppl see my stumbles too. You will get a better effect with higher influencers, and a lower effect with ppl with less followers
