StumbleUpon for fun and profit - Part 2: Results
Ok so in my previous post I talked about StumbleUpon and a huge increase in hits I got from it having received a stumbling.
I was wondering how long the effect would last, and what the hits would be like afterwards. Turns out that what I blogged about before was pretty much it - nothing much else happened after:
As you can see I got about 3 days of high traffic, then it dropped off quicker than it picked up! One side effect though is that I am now getting about 3 or 4 times the average previous hits since the stumbling, and a slow trickle of referrals from StumbleUpon still. I appear to be getting more search engine traffic now too - this could be coincidence of course.
Its a bit of a strange profile - I can only presume that my site was temporarily on a "Whats New" type page for a little while, and has now slumped down to the usual listings.
Still, an interesting experience!
Update: I have had a closer look at what happened to my advertising revenue during and after this event. Check out the details at StumbleUpon for fun and profit - Part 3: Analysis

Hey Matt - I saw the same thing for my site ... what's your SU username? I'd love to see what type of sites you visit ...
