Over the past few years there has been an explosion of social websites that help people and companies exposure their products and service to the world. Today I will talk about is Stumble Upon and how it should be the social website you use when comes to traffic building. to your website.

Stumble Upon is the best social website which allows its users a new way to experience the Internet. Instead of searching for specific items on search engines like Google, Stumble Upon users only have to tag specific personal or professional interests and then ‘channel surf’ the web by simply clicking on a button on Stumble Upon tool bar.

Upon doing so, they will be randomly directed to specific websites which adhere to their lists of interests. Users can then choose to tag the web page they are on or give it a ‘thumbs up‘ or ‘thumbs down‘ to indicate if they want to see it again.

Users can also use the Stumble Upon tool bar as a form of social bookmarking. By surfing the web and tagging or submitting specific websites, each user can keep track of which websites they like and share it with others.

Stumble Upon is known for its ability to generate massive amounts of traffic to a specific webpage or website that’s been stumbled. If you just wrote a great article or created a website which offered creative and useful content, you’ll want as many eyeballs on it as possible.

Once your website gets stumbled, it’ll usually start to immediately receive visitors from all over the world.

This allows you:

1. Generate rapid exposure for a specific website, brand or concept.
2. Establish a reader base for your blog very quickly.
3. Gain numerous back links from StumbleUponvisitors with websites.

StumbleUpon is different from a search engine, which offers very targeted traffic that matches keyword searches with the content on your blog.

On the other hand, the very nature of Stumble Upon invites open exploration of various websites which are loosely tagged by other users and hence may produce weak targeted traffic with specific characteristics.

My experience over the past few months has led me to the following conclusions on traffic from StumbleUpon:

* Diverse demographic. Visitors from StumbleUpon come from many countries from all over the world, though 40% of my traffic came from North America.
* Very low Adsense or contextual CTR. Why click on an ad when you can stumble to the next site in a few seconds?
* Good web design is important for StumbleUpon visitors. The average time spent on a web page can be less than 10 seconds. They tend to look more than they read.
* Fickle RSS subscribers. My feed subscription doubled when certain posts received a lot of traffic but 50% of the readers unsubscribed over the next few days. This will vary depending on your website.
* Not all websites are made equal. Video, Humor, Web 2.0 and eclectic websites do extremely well with SU. Some friends with video websites and Boing Boing-ish blogs usually retain at least 25% of Stumble Upon visitors after a spike in traffic.
* Traffic is long-term. I’m still continuing to receive traffic for specific web pages that I’ve stumbled several weeks ago.

Recently Carline Middlebrook created the ultimate product called “Traffic Rush” that shows you step by step techniques on how to harness the power of stumble upon and create 6pm traffic on your website.

The first thing you need is, learn how to turn your site visitors into paying users. Recordings on the entry and exit of visitors to its website called tracking. You must have a fine ad campaigned to attract more visitors and convince those visitor to comeback.

Other visitors just love to read the articles with purchasing anything. Make sure the texts and other content on their Web sites are worth reading. To do this, you must be a good writer, because without good quality you will loose visitors fast.

Your site should be a specific theme. If your site is set to buy and sell products then it must contain only descriptions and specifications of products to sell. Never change of venue because then you ruin the theme of your website.

You can also a community forum where users have a free platform to exchange ideas and messages. This is also a great way to discover all their concerns and questions of a user. Remember that topics of interest are usually derived from this forum. Visitors on this forum should earn points or prizes providing insight and knowledge about topics on a consistent basis.

Make sure your site has a good reputation for marketing articles of quality and content of your site. There an unlimited amount of traffic tactics and we are just starting.

It is the search engines that finally bring your website to the notice of the prospective customers. Hence it is better to know how these search engines actually work and how they present information to the customer initiating a search.

There are basically two types of search engines. The first is by robots called crawlers or spiders.

Search Engines use spiders to index websites. When you submit your website pages to a search engine by completing their required submission page, the search engine spider will index your entire site. A ‘spider’ is an automated program that is run by the search engine system. Spider visits a web site, read the content on the actual site, the site’s Meta tags and also follow the links that the site connects. The spider then returns all that information back to a central depository, where the data is indexed. It will visit each link you have on your website and index those sites as well. Some spiders will only index a certain number of pages on your site, so don’t create a site with 500 pages!

The spider will periodically return to the sites to check for any information that has changed. The frequency with which this happens is determined by the moderators of the search engine.

A spider is almost like a book where it contains the table of contents, the actual content and the links and references for all the websites it finds during its search, and it may index up to a million pages a day.

Example: Excite, Lycos, AltaVista and Google.

When you ask a search engine to locate information, it is actually searching through the index which it has created and not actually searching the Web. Different search engines produce different rankings because not every search engine uses the same algorithm to search through the indices.

One of the things that a search engine algorithm scans for is the frequency and location of keywords on a web page, but it can also detect artificial keyword stuffing or spamdexing. Then the algorithms analyze the way that pages link to other pages in the Web. By checking how pages link to each other, an engine can both determine what a page is about, if the keywords of the linked pages are similar to the

It all starts with the search. Google is the number one search engine so it will be good for you to understand the Basics.
