My Stumbleupon Experiment

Stumbleupon has kind of a BIPOLAR REPUTATION

Lots of marketers think that the traffic from this random surfing platform is so untargetted that the huge surge of traffic you CAN get is like a sugar high-nothing substantive.

A handful of marketers think that this traffic is worth the effort.

So I tried out SU using an AGED SU account (at least 3 years old)

I am using a fairly dormant 'general reference' niche site as my guinea pig

Today's Day 1 of my SU journey and here's the result so far



I'm using a crowdsourced SU strategy where I have cheap VAs click on the SU "thumbs up" button (for pennies) after randomly viewing/stumbling/thumbing up other items.

So far, the hits have produced some ADSENSE ad clicks.

I'm curious to see how scalable this is.

What was the cost of that traffic spike?

I'm using a PTC program so my cost so far is 16 cents for the surge. Capped out at 16 cents per day.

Sadly, it is not sustainable.

Next experiment: QUORA

Nice post, Good to see other forms of social media being investigated

Any luck with SU ? Used to get lots of traffic out of it but now it seems like they changed their algorithm or something

Excellent test, thinking out of the box I see...

Have you found some place where your experiments become sustainable?
Reddit or so?

great test and result for being creative
