Do You Trade Stumbles? You Could Be In Trouble.
2007-09-14 18:00:00 One of the recent crazes these days is StumbleUpon, a plugin for Firefox and Internet Explorer that lets you "find great websites, videos, photos and more based on your interests. StumbleUpon learns what you like and makes better recommendations." It's become so big that The Wall Street Journal and BBC World News have published articles on it. And us webmasters are starting to learn on how to exploit it. Trading stumbles is a simple, easy process. You get a bunch of people to visit your site, click "I Like It!" on the StumbleUpon toolbar, and write a quick, favorable review for you, and you do the same for them. This increases the likelihood that others of the thousands who use StumbleUpon will randomly stumble across your website, thus increasing your traffic - since the more "Likes" your site has the more likely StumbleUpon is to show it to other users. Seems pretty innocent, right? There are even a few "official" sites out there to facilitate the trade of stumbles. With this i... More About: Trade
