Free Excerpt from the Latest Traffic Collection for 24 Hours

By Tinu Abayomi-Paul

gift27,000 visitors from StumbleUpon in one week is my personal high score for generating social media traffic. 40k is my overall best in one day.

But if you ever look at my SU profile, by all outward appearances, I’m a pretty average user.

I don’t have 1000 subscribers, like Andy Beard, who can rock my server with one stumble.

And my both my Stumbling record and number of reviews certainly pale in comparison to someone like Zaibatsu.

And yet. Whether you’re talking social media or online news site, online reputation management or offline social networks, I seem to have a knack for knowing where all the pressure points are, and where to apply – or relax – force, to get the coverage that I want, and to pass that on to my customers and clients.

You can’t buy social media traffic, with the exception of Stumble Ads and Facebook Ads, which really aren’t the same as what I’d call social media traffic – even under those circumstances, it’s just not the same.

It’s the same way you can’t buy good vibes. Either you can get them, or you can’t. You can’t pay someone to genuinely feel good about your products, services, and customer support. Though I’m sure in this economy, lots of people would fake it really well if you offered them the right price.

As I get closer to retiring, I’ve wondered- and studied, what it is that I’m doing differently , more and more frequently. What  am I dong in half an hour on StumbleUpon that has the same effect as what some others do in 40 hours?

As it began to dawn on me, I started to take notes. This excerpt is from a PDF guide I wrote about what I have logically concluded, and repeatedly tested, to be the Secret to my Success in drawing social media traffic and generating massive traffic in general. [download it | pdf].

For the next 24 hours, I’m not going to ask for your email address or anything else in order for you to read it. After the opening day sale is over, there’s no more free peeks – you’ll have to give somethin to get somethin. wink wink.

Have a Happy Weekend. If you’re in the DC metro area, remember to stop by Faith Gifts and Stationery in Laurel Mall across from the Macy’s to visit me between 11 am and 2 pm. You can corner me and ask me questions about your web site.

It has been a long time challenge for me into getting traffic into my website & I also just recently installed a wordpress theme that has web 2.0 as part of the theme allowing me to do re tweets, face book share & also stumble upon shares too... which does help in traffic but not as fast as I would hope them to be.

Hi Bryan,

Welcome. I suspect that the trouble you're having with getting traffic is one of singular, systematic focus. You've got to focus on one method, maximize it, automate it, then add others. I looked at your site and it also seems that your theme is too wide. First thing, narrow down to a specialty in making money. Then, focus on one keyword group. Focus on it in your title and let the way you configure WordPress do the rest, just write naturally.

Second, you need a system for driving traffic. How are you learning to increase your traffic? Multiple sources, or finding one system, learning it fully, then adding others?

Third, get help. Find someone who knows what they're doing to build you a traffic plan, then find someone with more time on their hands to execute it for you if you can't afford your favorite expert. If you can't pay someone directly, give a family member a commissions-only gig.

What traffic system are you using now?

Hi Rob,

Didn't mean to skip you. it's faster to answer what type of pages Are Not suitable for SU. A squeeze page in StumbleUpon is a bad idea, and so is a sales letter. You want interactive, community driven pages. Ideally I'd say a blog post. Because if you don't hit it out of the park the first time, there's another blog post the next day. :)

Hi Kenny,

Digg, definitely. I've ... guided clients to 40k from Digg in a day. Once you get on the front page, you can get 2000 visitors in five minutes. The question is - is Digg your audience? I discourage my clients from targeting Digg because Digg isn't really their audience.

Reddit, definitely. The most I've gotten from Reddit was from someone else submitting this blog for my Google blogs post, which sent 3500 visitors directly, and never reached the front page.

And there are other social media sites that can push great heaps of traffic, (Delicious comes to mind off the top of my head, as does Twitter, which can push traffic at the same rate of Digg but without the restrictions. Facebook can push traffic too, depending on what group your information travels in) but where SU is superior is that it's easier traffic, and much more targeted.

There's also an option to test with paid traffic, and you have a much wider variety of pages that can be submitted. At the same time, no man can be an island in StumbleUpon - after a certain number of times if you submitted information from the same time, your influence for that one site goes down. So you must collaborate. At the same time, you can't just cheat the system by getting 100 friends to vote thumbs up because your pages are going out to the SU community at large. They start giving you thumbs down and it kills your campaign.

So you must have quality content as well.

I can't explain SU in this small space, but the answer too your 27k in a week question is yes. And I can teach people how to do that with article marketing, with press releases, with search.. my biggest problem is getting my knowledge into some kind of digestible format. :) Welcome, and thanks for coming by.

27K in just a week? Oh my, better put myself hard to work. Can digg, reddit and other social bookmarks bring as much traffic as this one?

Great blog and much of what I need to learn so will be signing up in a minute. Also, can I ask what type of site do you think is best suited to Stumbleupon? Is there one?
