StumbleUpon when used properly can be a very effective way to drive traffic to your websites, but only if you avoid the traps that so many StumbleUpon users fall into. Most people stumbling on StumbleUpon are not looking to make purchases, but are looking for good information or entertainment, not some blatantly commercial site.

traffic resourceOne of the biggest mistake you can make is to simply stumble and promote your own sites. Generating traffic through social networking sites takes preparation, work, and interaction within the social community. The first, and most obvious factor in determining traffic levels is the number of other users who give you a thumbs-up recommendation. For this to happen, your page will obviously need to be high quality. StumbleUpon is not a technique that can or should be used to drive traffic to poor quality landing pages. The number of reviews which your page has is also highly relevant. To put it simply, the more reviews means the more traffic you get. Another major factor is the authority given to your account.

If you want to use StumbleUpon to drive traffic, you will need to become active in the community and stumble regularly, as well as review other people’s sites. You want to generate as many friends as you can within your allowed limit. If you review other peoples profiles, you should find that a certain number of these will return the favor. Having a profile with increased number of reviews is also instrumental in turning you into more of an authority. If you are really serious about utilizing StumbleUpon to its full potential, you’ll need to create a circle of friends who stumble each other’s posts. This will need to be done very carefully to avoid detection, and some may consider it gray hat. This is a choice will need to make for yourself.

7 Easy Steps on Making Squidoo Lenses that Generate Massive Traffic for Your Website
Squidoo was set up in late 2005 and has become one of the Internet’s Top 500 websites with a huge worldwide audience. Squidoo as your co-op partner will not only generate income for your website but much-needed traffic as well.

How You Earn from SquidooBefore we start talking about generating website traffic through Squidoo, let’s focus on another main benefit of working with Squidoo and that is earning revenues. Squidoo is a network of lenses. These are single pages containing a users sole perspective on any topic he is an expert on. Lenses can be about anything under the sun and usually focuses more on recommendations and linking to other websites than creating only original content.

A Squidoo User is called a lensmaster. His Squidoo Lenses earns through advertising. Share of revenues goes as follows: five percent for charities, 45% for Squidoo, and the remaining half for users.

7 Uncomplicated Tips on Making Squidoo Lens to Generate Traffic for Your Website

Tip #1 Start by creating a fun but detailed Introduction Block about your lens/promotion. This is the first thing that people will see of your lens so you have to work on making it attention-getting. This is where you explain the what, why, who, and how about your lens, maybe also what are your qualifications for creating this kind of lens, and why you’ve created such a lens. End with an invitation to get more of the stuff your offering on your Squidoo lens by providing a link back to your website.

Tip #2 Whatever kind of lens you are making, be sure to use a variety of content for it. Besides providing the requisite outbound links and content, consider also adding video, graphics, images and other kinds of visual effects. When you are using images, make sure you write enough text to surround the image.Tip #3 Squidoo is all about posting recommended links. Your list should always include but never be limited to your website. It is understandable and acceptable that you are recommending your website, especially if you truly have valuable content to offer. But look for other websites to recommend, also. Choose your recommendations carefully; if you just link to anybody, people might lose interest in checking out your lenses.

Tip #4 Provide a brief personalized description for each link you provide. That includes describing your website as well!

Tip #5 For revenue modules, do not just choose the first group of products that come up for your targeted keywords. Take the time to check them out one by one. Choose the products that appeal to you the most; this will make it easier for you to describe and recommend them to your readers.

Tip #6 Use as much original content as possible. It doesn’t have to be all factual; your opinions would do as well. Personalization is, as always, the key to quality online content. Secondly, don’t write irrelevant text; if readers realize you are just wasting their time beating around the bush to make your lens appear content-packed, there is a very good chance they will not come back after this.

Tip #7 Use content from your website but don’t display it all on your Squidoo lens. Display the second best content then tease them with hints about something better and which they can get when they visit your website.
