Marketing Your Site with StumbleUpon

When it comes to getting eyeballs or new clients to your Web hosting company or any Web site out there at all it seems like everything under the sun has been tried once. If you haven’t gotten good results with other ad services I have one I want you to try. Did you know that StumbleUpon offers advertising services?

For those of you who might not know what StumbleUpon is all about, it is a service that allows users to view Web sites that are based on a similar interest randomly. You can think of it as channel surfing and Web browsing mixed together. It is a great way to find Web sites that you might have missed if you only pay attention to the popular stuff out there today.

Well with StumbleUpon Ads, you get to pay a little money to target your Web site towards people looking for that type of content. I recently started an ad campaign via WebHostingShow.com on StumbleUpon and I have gotten promising results. Of course the more you pay in, the more visitors you will be getting. My bar is set a little low right now for testing purposes – but I could see myself using this down the road to bring in new listeners to the podcast here.

They give you some statistical information as well, like how many people have voted up or voted down your Web site link and how many people have viewed it for each day of your campaign.

So if you are look for a new way to bring in new visitors, I would definitely give StumbleUpon Ads a shot. For Web hosts – this could lead to some new sales and some new eyeballs on your Web site. Don’t let that fool you though. I could see just about any Web site out there getting a boost in visitors from this Online tool.
