StumbleUpon Surpasses Facebook For Social Media Traffic Generation
Posted on by Ryan Deiss in PPC Advertising
I’ve blogged about StumbleUpon before, and here they are again making another splash by passing up Facebook as the top Social Media Traffic Generator again. I know it can be somewhat un-targeted traffic, but in this quantity, it’s worth noting.
How can a site with 12 million users send more traffic than a site with 600 million users? When your site is specifically designed to do nothing but send traffic. StumbleUpon may be small compared to sites like Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace, but it sends the most social media traffic around the web according to the latest numbers by StatCounter.
StumbleUpon CEO Garrett Camp is excited about it, announcing it to the world via Twitter at 1am EST this morning:
StumbleUpon is one of the only companies that is designed to keep you away from their own website. By its very nature, StumbleUpon takes you everywhere else based upon your interests, stumbling habits, friends, and what’s hot in the Internet. Using an installed Toolbar or a browser frame, users “stumble” websites, stories, videos, and pictures, not knowing where they’ll be going next.
