Stumble Upon And Cheap PPC Traffic

Search Engine Optimization

I have just heard news from some of my friends and the new big thing is PPC from social marketing sites. For example Stumble Upon is a well known site and it does not use nofollow tags for links so it can pass link juice. But that is another story.

Well their paid advertising program can be found here:

It seems to be very popular lately. It costs around 0.05 USD per click so it is much cheaper than Google Adwords, BUT !!!! It is not so targeted. So the ROI might be lower then with adwords or yahoo advertising.

I have decided to try it out today. For 50 USD you get like 1000 clicks, that is pretty good. But you might get a lot of useless traffic. But at least if your site is popular, few people will classify it a thumbs up (Stumble Upon is similar to Digg - You Dig?) and it might get some link juice from all the bookmarks.

Well at least it is worth a try. I will report later how it goes.
