The most powerful Social Site on the web?
I have finally discovered the most powerful social site on the web. I thought I had already knew what needed to be done to use all the different popular social sites, but I kept questioning other posts I saw speaking about getting 1,000-2,000 visitor spikes. I am like dag gum I wish I had half that amount of traffic on a daily basis. But now after doing a few days of research I have discovered True Social Marketing Power!
What is this new Social Marketing Power? StumbleUpon! Now wait! Before you go and click off thinking you know all about StumbleUpon, Read this article. I thought I knew all there was to know about stumble too. Then like I said in the opening paragraph I started hearing about 1000-2000 visitor spikes in traffic. So finally I put my pride aside and started to do more research about stumble. Here’s what I found and still learning.
The stumble tool bar I installed is supposed to be used for more than just submitting my own posted articles. The stumble toolbar is my friend and there are ways to actually search for other folks stumbling. You can even stumble people and videos as well. I have to admit when I first signed up for StumbleUpon I really didn’t like the user interface and it’s the reason why I am just finding all these new thinks I can do with StumbleUpon. So yes, I am here to admit that I was a little arrogant in the beginning as far as what Stumble could do.
So here’s what I am going to do. I am going to start posting my progress, the things I have learned in my research and give you my readers tips on every post. I would like to invite you to not only follow along but also participate. If you choose to participate, leave a comment with your StumbleUpon profile, so that everyone will have a choice as to who they make friends with and spread the stumble love.
My next stumble post will be Monday as tomorrow will be Arsenal Marketing Weekly Weaponry.
Don’t forget to leave you StumbleUpon profile so that we can all decide who to connect with and who to spread some Thumb Love with!!!!

Betty,
I have been confused with it as well. that’s why I am doing this series. I am going to try and tackle one maybe two topics a post. I want to make sure we all get it. That’s why it’s good to share your stumble profile and blog, so that we can all work together.

StumbleUpon is the top referrer to my blog and website virtually every day. It is very powerful for delivering traffic, but the traffic is not always as highly targeted as I would like.
