Never Underestimate the Power of Stumbleupon

Have seen a few posts here and there about getting traffic via Stumbleupon and thought, "Oh, yeah, Stumbleupon. I remember that." I joined about two years ago and have given the thumbs up to over 400 bits.

So I went and added Daily Kicksplode to my thumbs up bits, stating up front that it was one of mine.

Boom. 1200 visitors arrived. Nice.


Now, before anybody gets all excited and starts bombarding Stumbleupon with their own sites, I would caution you as follows:

1. The "Don't Be a Dick" rule is a no-brainer. If you show up, register, and post your site and then leave, no one will ever pay attention to you, I wouldn't think. We never allow that crap on the Gabfest, the hit-and-run promotions nonsense, and I'm sure the Stumbleupon community won't put up with it either.

2. If you're going to use the service, then use it. And use it to your benefit. If you del.icio.us link something, Stumble it too. The people who run the sites, if they're smart, will appreciate you doing so.

This has certainly got me active again on Stumbleupon because it gives results, obviously. And I like what gives results.

I should have a report on Project Wonderful here in a couple of days.

Widge and headphones

This is me.

No, really.

I am a writer, poet, spoken word performer, actor, singer, improviser, content creation and idea machine, freelance iconoclast, and the internet's janitor that dispenses pop culture wisdom to the protagonist of your choice. I have seen too many movies, read too many comic books, and when the zombies finally come, I'm the one you want to call. I sure as hell won't answer the phone, but it's the thought that counts. I advise people on the net, websites and technology, because I know these things instead of having a life or sleeping.

If you like something I've done, donate to the Widge Wants to Kill His Day Job Fund. Or if you'd like to hire me for a job, my rates are terribly reasonable. We thank you.
