It's about the quality of traffic as well. Quality readership does not really exist on digg.
Of course. Without a doubt. It really does help get the word out. A lot of people visit through digg, digg articles get syndicated all over, most end up high on delicious, bloggers write about digg articles, etc. I said before, if this is something we could propagate for each other - why not try?
How do you get a site popular on Stumble Upon - just get tons of people to favorite it?
You can also pay $0.05 per visitor. The trick is to make sure your site is immediately appealing, otherwise the user will just click "stumble" and go on to the next site.
pretty much. There's no "front page" to get to on stumble upon. Every person who thumbs the site up essentially forwards the stumbled page to everyone on their friends list. Interesting sites propagate through stumble upon very quickly.
Yea my last site got "stumbled" a bunch of times. Serious amount of traffic but I read that you really are only getting half of what your stats say because of how the software works. Not sure. Still good though.
