What Gets More Traffic than Yahoo and MSN Combined?

It’s well known that my three largest sources of traffic are Google (largely through jiggling the web), press releases and iTunes. I now have a clear leader in the #4 spot which provides more traffic than MSN, Yahoo and AOL combined.

It’s the eBay, PayPal owned StumbleUpon… which provided me with 444 unique visitors in the first 48 hours. And it’s now on course to bring me thousands of new visitors before the month’s end.

It didn’t take anything special, just a different way of thinking. And it involved doing something I was doing anyways. Bookmarking sites.

I was doing a little article on copywriting and found myself bookmarking several web pages in my own browser. Then it just kind of dawned on me… what would happen if I social bookmarked all these sites? There must be other people interested in the same things as me.

So, I joined StumbleUpon and snagged their toolbar. That way, any time I saw a page I liked, I could bookmark it without having to leave the page and visit the StumbleUpon site.

The result was way cool… 444 unique visitors in less than 48 hours. Yes, there are a lot of people interested in marketing, seo and copywriting, just like me. Within hours, people were visiting and commenting on the sites that I had bookmarked.

I thought that I’d investigate a handful of the 4.5 million StumbleUpon users and ask them a few questions. I discovered that most users are very passionate about the site and log on every single day. I wanted to find out… “Why StumbleUpon?”

Stumbler Jenny S. told me, “The sites you find here are way better than Google because your friends are recommending them. It’s easy to find people that like the same types of authors, and that means I don’t waste time reading things I won’t like.”

Stumbler Karl B. told me, “I find the best sites that help me in my line of work. It’s all sorted and
tagged by my colleagues.”

And finally Stumbler Danny C. revealed, “It’s my starting page and my search engine. I get the best info this way! Not just the sites that are the best SEO’d or the best at gaming Google. I get real quality sites that are recommended by my friends.”

Beware Google you silly old hare. 😉 The race isn’t over yet! There’s a new turtle on the horizon and it’s not the old familiar stragglers like Yahoo, MSN and AOL. It’s a new self-directed, user-tagged, friend-sorted search engine… and it’s sneaking up right behind you!

So if you’re like most web users and you’re bookmarking sites anyways, why not use social bookmarking services like StumbleUpon to share what you like? With 4.5 million fans and growing… StumbleUpon might become new traffic source for you… you might even make some friends in the process. And all it takes to get this traffic, is to click your mouse and bookmark the pages that you really like… how easy is that?
