StumbleUpon
StumbleUpon is a website with a great concept. Looking to surf the Internet but have absolutely nothing to check out? StumbleUpon might be the right place to visit. Users submit interesting articles while other users will randomly be taken to web pages.
Through the StumbleUpon toolbar, just click the stumble link to be taken to a random page. It’s great for finding interesting web pages and also a great traffic tool for websites that have been submitted.
I hadn’t realized the full power of StumbleUpon until I had an article submitted to it. The referrals from StumbleUpon were through the roof, which was especially exciting for my fairly new blog to have such nice traffic stats. It’s easy to register with Stumbleupon and submit articles. Just note the web address and write a short review describing the article. The increased traffic is worth the small effort that it will take to get your article in the stumbleupon rotation.

StumbleUpon can not only be a great source of traffic - it can also be a great source on content! In your profile you can enter the things that interest you as keywords, then install the stumbleupon toolbar…click the “stumble” button and be transported to a web site that meets your interest. Don’t like it? Hit “stumble” again and go to another site. Before long you should find all kinds of things that interest you - and never have writer’s bock again! Also, while you’re there you can click on “I like it” or “I hate it” to ensure other people only see the best sites!
