Using Su.pr To Gain Traffic On Your Blog
Traffic volume is likely one of the largest, if not the largest, concerns that many blog owners have. Making money with a blog is a numbers game and the more people you have viewing your content and blog, the more the chance you have of someone buying something. So in our big chase to grab as many readers as possible, we are always on the lookout for techniques and methods to achieve our traffic goals.
Submitting to popular bookmarking sites is one method. But I have found that on a site like StumbleUpon, you need to upload quite a few articles until people actually start “stumbling” onto your content. This can be a very slow and inefficient method to get traffic.
However, I found that with using StumbleUpon’s URL shortening service (Su.pr) in conjunction with Twitter Tools and the Su.pr Twitter Tools API add-on plugin, you get article views immediately. Not only with these two plugins does your article get automatically published on Twitter, but also into the front line of StumbleUpon and I have also seen some visitors showing up from Twitturls.com-not sure why that is but I’m not complaining!
What’s great about Su.pr is that it is the only URL shortening service which drives traffic to your blog. It has a well built administration page that tracks all of the important information that you need to know. Information like traffic, clicks, referrers, stumbles and retweets. Probably the best information of all that it gives you is a line graph showing you the optimal times in the day of when to post your article to take advantage of maximum traffic time zones. Su.pr also provides a tweet scheduling option so that you can post a tweet at a time when you may not be able to get to the computer to do so.
