StumbleUpon Traffic - Part 8


How To convert a Stumbler into a regular visitor?

One thing you will need to understand right from the start, is that you lose the majority of “Stumbler visitors” once they have reviewed your front page.

That being said, StumbleUpon can send you SO much traffic that even if a small percentage are converted into subscribers or regular visitors, it more than makes up for it.

Here is how you can increase your chances of obtaining new regular visitors and opt-in subscribers using Stumble Upon.

Tip 1) Make certain you have an RSS button AND an opt-in email subscription box visible on your landing page. Don’t clutter it into some side-bar that is difficult to see, make sure it’s upfront and center, surrounded around good, solid content.

Also, because a lot of visitors will be scrollers, make sure to have a link to your opt-in box towards the bottom of your landing page as well.

Tip 2) Implore a Call For Action

Either direct them to a product or service using a cloaked affiliate link, send them through a CPA offer, send them to another one of your websites, articles, or blogs - just be sure to prompt them to take action.

Don’t leave them wondering what to do next.

Tip 3) If possible, and you have created a customized landing page for your StumbleUpon advertising, personalize it by mentioning StumbleUpon on your page. For example:

“Stumbled Across Any Decent Sites Today?”

They’ll love it, and feel you are part of the community and not just some advertiser. This will increase your conversion rate significantly.

Tip 4) Everyone Loves Contests

Create a contest on your landing page. Who doesn’t love the chance to win a free digital product, cash, service, etc? Have them opt-into your subscription box to be entered into your draw. This is an easy way to convert one-time traffic into repeat visitors who want to find out more about the contest or receive updates.
