For years now I have been spending money on pay per click through Yahoo UK where I have had some fantastic success and would advise anyone to advertise on the network (the clicks have a good conversion rate) and Google Adwords, where the conversion rate I found was not so good. However I have found a great way to get amazing value for money and it is called StumbleUpon!

So why is it such good value? Well if you pay for lets say 100 visits, you can get that for around $5 (Yes thats right $5, five dollars! FIVE BUCKS!) so whats the advantage over the others? Well simple, the way StumbleUpon works is through visitors giving your site a thumbs up and in some cases a good review, the more thumbs up you get the more traffic you will get. So if you send through 100 visitors and you get 5 thumbs up through those 100 visits the likelihood is that you will get close to 500 visits. I can’t say for certain that these figures are completely correct but based on what I have experienced it is around that.

So not only do you actually get the visits that your promised by the ad program you get more than you actually pay for in visits you get more exposure to getting thumbs up and in doing that you get more and more visitors. The visits that you get are for people who are actually interested in the subject of your website. So if you have a travel website and you set up a campaign then you will get visitors interested in travel! Targeted visitors!

Now this isn’t a way to get a massive number of sales your content and your product still needs to be of value and top notch otherwise you are going to lose out as you will get thumbs downs which is bad news all around!

So as always your content needs to be good and your design being pleasant on the eye also helps but as with all websites make sure it adds value to your users life and you will get good results!
