StumbleUpon
is one of the greatest websites for social bookmarking on the internet. Next to Google, I would say it is the best search engine I've yet to discover. By simply submitting an article you can potentially receive thousands of views a day consistently if the article is Stumbled and liked enough. StumbleUpon is used to create both traffic and revenue for your personal websites, along with the people who use it to share news, or find sites according to their interests. Its use of the StumbleUpon toolbar has revolutionized the search engine and continues to attract bloggers, webmasters, and internet surfers due to it's effectiveness in providing what they want whether it be views or fun.
My goal is to observe the patterns of StumbleUpon and to see exactly how many views an article can get at different stages of popularity. The preferred stages to provide the follow up articles on the results would be after the amount of thumbs up reach one hundred thumbs up, two hundred, three hundred and so on. However this can only happen with your help. In return for your help I will give you a thumbs up vote on up to two sites of your choice along with adding you to my friends, as I only Stumble the pages my friend's thumbs up. Simply give a thumbs up and in the comments on this page, or the stumble upon review put your StumbleUpon user name and the site(s) you would like the thumbs up on.
Lastly you will receive the knowledge provided in the follow up articles that may help you achieve a front page article and gain many new visitors that are interested in your website giving you a more likely chance to have a returning visitor. If you want to get 10,000 views on your blog my graphs will show you approximately how many Stumbles you will need to reach that mark. You could find that you need one hundred and fifty Stumbles to receive 10,000 views so you would know you need natural thumbs up votes or to add that many friends and message them for a Stumble.
The StumbleUpon experiment 2.0 is a retrial of a test a fellow writer for Webupon
ran about five months ago and failed to come through with a follow up on it. As I have no way of obtaining the records of the experiment I'd like to try again with promise of a follow up to be posted both on the StumbleUpon review of this page, and as a comment. When to expect the follow up? I will publish the first follow up once a total of one hundred thumbs up have been achieved. If after a week this has not happened yet I will post a follow up on the results. I will continue to give results for as long as my view counter stays at a steady pace of views worth reporting. I read the criticism of the last experiment and regretfully I am purely a publisher not a webmaster so I cannot remove the ads, however they do not affect the experiment.
