Those who use StumbleUpon for both casual web surfing and internet marketing know how powerful the site is. It’s grown substantially over the last year or 2, increasing not only it’s userbase but also the amount of submitted articles and stumbled posts.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One thing that sets StumbleUpon apart from the others is its unique advertising. You can pay $0.05\/visitor which StumbleUpon sends your way, and you can do this for any page or article on your site. This adds up after a while – $5.00 for 100 visitors, $50 for 1,000.<\/p>\n
The real gem about StumbleUpon’s advertising campaign is that you’re not just getting random visitors. the SU team has devised it so that you can choose tags to represent your page. Stumbler’s who enjoy articles related to yours will be shown the link, which means all of the traffic you gain from StumbleUpon is targeted<\/em>.<\/p>\n This is a huge deal, as internet marketing has never been so easy! For a simple $50, you can draw 1,000 targeted visitors to your blog or recent post, spiking your traffic and hopefully drawing some attention to your website.<\/p>\n I’ve ran the advertising service for Inside the Webb a few times, on a couple of articles (can’t remember which). I did see a large jump in traffic over those days, however most of the traffic wasn’t on the site for more than 30 seconds. This is common with StumbleUpon users, as they quickly glance over a page for a few seconds before hitting the “Stumble!” button to go onto another article.<\/p>\nHow do StumbleUpon Ads Work?<\/h4>\n
