StumbleUpon and SEO

How do you use StumbleUpon to drive traffic to your websites? I know how all my clients have learned to use it and get huge traffic. It is all a combination of good content, networking and knowledge on what the StumbleUpon user is looking for. People coming from StumbleUpon toolbar are looking for good, probably viral content, because they are tired of the same old crap, they are interested in finding new interesting good content. What is good content on StumbleUpon? Good content on StumbleUpon is content that works for users browsing for random content. Who browses for random content? Someone who is looking for fun top 10 lists, funny videos or something else that hits the users interest within 10-15 seconds. So in order to create traffic from StumbleUpon you need to create content that fits the mind of someone not knowing what he/she is looking for. I know that a lot of big bloggers, such as ProBlogger, gains a lot of their traffic from StumbleUpon.

Twitter and SEO

Twitter is an amazing tool. It lets you follow people whenever they tweet something. I find the tool interesting and mostly use it to get insight into what is happening in my different areas of interest, by following people who tweet and are authorities in their areas. How could Twitter be used for SEO? It is actually pretty easy, start tweeting within your area of interest, find people who tweet within the same area, follow them and comment on their tweets, by doing this you will probably gain some followers on your own, and whenever you make a blog post or are pushing for something, make a tweet about it and your followers, who are in the same area of interest as you, may find your tweet and post so interesting that they tweet back at you or even blog about your news. It is all about building a network, creating good content and make people know about the good content. Without good content, you will not gain popularity in any area long term, not even on Twitter.
