StumbleUpon

Brendan Byrne - Monday, June 02, 2008
The concept of www.Stumbleupon.com is that you could never visit all the pages that are being published on the internet. BUT if StumbleUpon knows what you like, it can suggest more sites that you might like, based on other users who liked the same sites as you.

The reason this is important for you as a website owner, is that it makes linking to you, really easy AND everyone knows how important links are on the internet.

There are heaps of websites similar to this and collectively they are refered to as Social Networking. While StumbleUpon is not the biggest, I thought I would start here because a client recently asked me about this one specifically.

Over the next few posts I will introduce some of the more mainstream Social Networking sites and explain the basics of how to make it easy for your visitors to link to you.

For a link to StumbleUpon, you need to visit this page:
Step 1:
http://www.stumbleupon.com/buttons.php
Step 2:
And follow the 3 steps on the page, plus the final optional step to show a link like this:
Stumble Upon It
(You can even click this link to see how it works.)

Happy Stumbling!  (enjoy the trip!)
