StumbleUpon Addiction for Business Research


Okay…I’ve promised at least 3 2 1 0 posts by weekend’s end, but I can’t get away from my StumbleUpon, after yesterday’s post.

Curious, who’s StumbleUpon your website or webpage/blogpost?

Mark of MBlair.net shared some quick notes to help us out once again:

he link format to check your pages in StumbleUpon is this: http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/

For example, I added the full URL of yesterday’s post at the end of the above URL, like this:

StumbleUpon Research to reach your targeted “Friends”

I look at the bios, then briefly at their likes and preferences (I haven’t even filled my out completely yet).

But, the most “telling” aspect of a potential “Friend”, is taking a look at all their Stumbles.

In the drop-down box of suggested search options are:

  • Entire Blog
  • Pages I Like
  • Discoveries
  • People I Like
  • Stumbles
  • Tag Clouds
  • List of “keywords and phrases” each webpage is categorized in

StumbleUpon is a networking haven for Business for the following reasons:

  • You can develop critical joint venture partnerships.
  • You can view trends and interests in your potential clients, by seeing what webpages they feel worthy on ’stumbling upon’, for example a great “how-to” guide, or a service catering to their needs,
  • You can find matches on dozens and dozens of topics, such as “Entrepreneurialism”, age range, gender, or city and state. I can’t believe how many Toleodoans I found!
  • I’m actively stumbling anyone I found who likes my resources, and finding that in my targeted searches, those I’ve stumbled are visiting.
  • To learn how to attract a bigger network specifically for business purposes, read the Definitive Guide to using StumbleUpon for Business.

Aww…I’m blushin’ While writing this post, I got my own personal review, by a gentleman with thought-provoking questions…go figure, his ID: TheReporter reported nicely :-D

    6. Nice little article about how to use SU effectively. However, the writing needs to be a little cleaned up (typos, etc.) or this article won’t be taken as seriously as something a bit more professionally written. Just my personal opinion. I will still thumb it up, but please check your articles for typos.

      Cheers,
