StumbleUpon is a famous social network that you might drive tons of traffic to your site. For me, it’s the most source of traffic followed by Twitter and Search Engine. You can easily see many posts out there telling you tips to leverage StumbleUpon. Nevertheless, there’s no glue that those tips work and I only realize one thing: the more time you spend on it, the more traffic it drives to your blog.
Unfortunately, most of users quit stumbling just after weeks. There are many reasons cause this, but I can easily figure out two: they always stumble to pages of spammers; and they feel they are wasting time while visiting pages they dislike. In this post, I tell you 3 tricks to improve your stumbling experience.
Block a spam site
Most spammers on StumbleUpon always send you their pages over and over so that you should be careful when making friends. Besides, there’s a solution which I believe it is the easiest way to block those sites. Once visiting a page you think it’s suck, simple click on the arrow next to the ‘thumb down’ button and choose Block website xxxx.com
Report A Bad Stumble
Not only block bad site, you can also help StumbleUpon to sweep out those stumbles. When visit to a bad page such as broken page, factually incorrect, spam etc., click on Tools > Report this stumble as and choose a reason to report.
Stumble only in a specific topic
Choosing Interests is so important when you start stumbling. But an Interest here covers many sub topics and you just like one of them. You simply click on the button next to ‘thumb down’ button, then choose Search and type for what you want to stumble upon. You then can only stumble to pages related to the search terms. But pages available for you is usually running out since StumbleUpon search engine doesn’t work smartly these days, hope version 4 will does better.
