Can you increase your blog traffic with Stumbleupon?

I have been researching Stumbleupon for a few days and have some interesting information.  First, I found this video that gives you some good tips.  If you are interested in Stumbleupon you really should take time to watch the video.

It seems that if you handle it right you can get lots of views for your blog from Stumbleupon.  

I have been posting to Stumbleupon, but I haven't been getting many views.  It seems that I have lots to learn.
  
When I first started posting to Stumbleupon I got many more views. I was posting a couple of other blogs, in addition to my own.   Lately, I have only been posting my own blogs.  Apparently, that is a big mistake.  According the the video, you should probably post one of your blog posts for every 7 or so others.  

I read lots of other blogs so I could easily post the blogs I read and help others out as I post my own.  I usually just post once a day so that wouldn't require posting that many.  It really wouldn't take much in the way of extra time.

Getting Followers

In the video they talk about getting followers.  I will have to take some time to get more followers.   As of today I have 2 followers. 

I can post other people's blogs to Twitter and Pinterest, and follow them.  If you are trying to grow your blog it does take time and requires some work.  I really think once you get started and figure things out you can grow the social media sites in just a few minutes a day.  Learning the process takes the most time.  

Loading the Stumbleupon Toolbar

The video suggest downloading the Stumbleupon toolbar.  Go to www.stumbleupon.com/downloads and download the toolbar. There is also a Stumbleupon button to add to your web page which makes it easy for readers to stumble you to Stumbleupon.

It is very easy to stumble posts.  I have the little Stumbleupon button on my sidebar and use it to stumble my own posts.  

I also added the Stumbleupon app to my iPad.

It's time to try Stumbleupon!

If you haven't tried Stumbleupon take a few minutes to try it out.  It really is a great site.  They have lots of interesting posts there.  If you follow me I will certainly follow you back.  I will post some information after I have gotten going with it more and let you know all the stuff I learn.
