What Traffic To Expect From Stumbleupon?
Stumbleupon can send you a very diverse range of traffic from all over the
world, although the majority of traffic we received has been from the
main USA, UK and Canada.
The traffic will come in bursts, and you will see spikes of visitors followed
by lows. However, if the community continue to “thumb up” an article you
can still be receiving traffic for months afterwards.
SU users often only stay for a short amount of time and you should make
every effort to grab their attention straight away before they Stumble on.
High quality web design, low number of adverts, humor and photography
are well known to be a combination that can guarantee SU success.

5. 2) Create A Focused Video Page.
I'm sure you're thinking “Hey, isn't that what YouTube is for?” the
answer is yes and no. YouTube is massive, but weeding through all
the videos can be time consuming. I found that by spending a bit of
time searching for videos on a certain topic and embedding them into
my site, I could make some money from Adsense.
For example, you can setup a page that had videos about the new
video game systems (Sony PS3, Nintendo Wii). You can get dozens of
videos that captured people fighting each other while standing in line
for the system, etc.

with a knowledge pack that you develop. Checkout downloads at
CNET.com.

download, and your knowledge/review info about the best way to use
the software from your perspective.

Take advantage of Tent-pole events and other current events when you
have existing content that may be relevant. Tent-pole events are the
cultural events that promotion, sponsors, advertisers, and viewing
trends orbit around throughout the year. Big movie releases, sports,
holidays and niche events should act as guides for the content you
produce.
For you think YouTube If you have a video that is of you watching a
fireworks show, you could update that during the 4th of July (for
those in the USA), and again during New Year's to see if you get an
uptick in views.
