Comments on: Social Networking – Don’t StumbleUpon yourself. – A mistake I learned the hard way. http://iwebis.com/?p=36 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:09:22 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: mlgreen8753 http://iwebis.com/?p=36&cpage=1#comment-2378 mlgreen8753 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 04:54:15 +0000 http://iwebis.com/2007/05/03/social-networking-dont-stumbleupon-yourself-a-mistake-i-learned-the-hard-way/#comment-2378 I signed up for a StumbleUpon account about a year ago, but quickly became disinterested in it, mainly because I didn't understand how it could help my website. I have since found other sites, such as <a href="http://www.adwido.com">Adwido</a>, that I feel does a better job in bringing more targeted traffic to my site. I do use some social networking sites, but mainly for SEO purposes.

Many of the top bloggers bookmark their individual posts as they write them. Guess they feel everything they write is important. I would say in the long run, it is important to be first to use any of these services when they are new, and just consider it part of a traffic building strategy. I often repost articles on Ziki, and Zimbio...just more exposure. Google seem to index all of the social sites as well (even comments, so watch what you say). Much has written about this.

I would be happy to start SU-ing your posts. I like your site, a great mix of things. I've been active in the Blog Catalog community for just over a month now, and I've met some great people, read some great blogs, although I haven't posted the SU/blog catalog post yet, I will do so soon. Happy blogging and I'll see you on SU and Blog Catalog! Thanks for the info RTenalio. I would be happy to start SU-ing your posts. I like your site, a great mix of things.

I've learned from experience there that a limit is placed on how many times you stuble the same domain. Its not written in the rules anywhere but trust me there is a limit. StumbleUpon is an excellent way to get traffic to your site. One of my posts got over 7000 hits from being stumbled. It wasn't one of my best posts either. Just a funny picture. We should try to stumble each other's articles and work together to drive more traffic to each others blog. The BlogCatalog proves that working together as a community has a positve result. Cheers to Monawea for the idea. Hey One Eyed View,

I was questioning whether or not is was acceptable to Stumbe my own pages and from what I've read here it seems to be ok if I truly feel that whatever post I make adds value to someone, even though that could be a subjective opinion. Rather than risk some kind of ratings punishment from SU (does one exist?), I'd prefer that anyone reading this feel free to visit my site and explore it to see if you consider any of my posts "stumble-able". Thanks for taking a look, and thanks for providing your great site! One Eyed View Hi folks,

The internet is a small place ;-) As the others have said, don't worry about it too much, even old Stumbles can get 're-activated' if a major stumbler gives them the thumbs up.
