Everybody likes them, everybody needs them. Free Stumbles! You don’t know what I’m talking about? Ok, let me tell you in short and find out how to get free Stumbles from me!

First of all, a Stumble is comparable to a vote on a website or blog you like. If you have installed the StumbleUpon toolbar, you can rate any site you stumbled upon with a so called “Thumbs Up” if you like it. The more Stumbles a website gets, the more popular it will be for the online community and therefore receive more traffic. Sometimes it’s possible to get some thousand visitors within hours (as I’ve seen by myself on this blog).

Anyway, you may be interested in getting those free stumbles and can’t wait any longer? Well, read on!

Today I will start a nice “service” where you can receive up to 20 free Stumbles from me. All you have to do in exchange, is linking back to my blog from your blogs or websites. Easy, isn’t it?

Ok, all you have to do, is to provide a link back to my blog (http://www.makingmoneyexperiment.com) with the following anchor text (choose one randomly please):

• Make Money Online
• Money Making Infos
• The Making Money Experiment

The next step is to write a comment on this post. First you have to provide the website address where you placed my link, so I can first check it. Use the provided field in the comment dialogue where you can enter the address. Second thing is to write down up to 20 websites/blogs/blog posts you would like to have stumbled from me.

That’s all. I will check if you have set the backlink to my blog and then start stumbling your sites!

Another thing worth to mention is that you’re sites should already be stumbled at least on time (if there’s one link that isn’t already stumbled, I’ll “discover” it for you…but no more). You also shouldn’t remove the backlink immediately after I’ve stumbled your sites , I will give you a “Thumbs down” then. The best would be if you leave it there forever .

Ok, this should be all for now. You set the link, I will give you the Stumbles!

PS: Please allow some days before I’ll stumble your sites, I’m a busy person!

I just checked my Statcounter blog statistics as usual to see how many visitors have seen my blog today. Usually I get around 50 to 70 unique visitors per day, but today there was something different…

As I checked the stats, I immediately recognized the holy number of 300 unique visitors to my blog. 300 visitors within only 3 hours! “What the hell?” I hear me say. Ok, I was a bit amazed and first thought there must be something wrong with the stats. So I dugg deeper to see where the traffic came from and it turned out that it was mainly from StumbleUpon.

I had no conclusion about why so many people got referred from SU to my blog, usually I get only 5 to 10 visitors a day from StumbleUpon.

It did take some time until I realised that it must be because of my new domain name that I just bought some days ago. No, I won´t say it´s because of a Top-Level-Domain, but it was because someone re-discovered my blog on StumbleUpon. It sounds weird, but actually I have a brand-new blog in terms of my blog URL. I´ve removed the old blogspot.com part to have a single dot com domain. For SU this would look like I´m having a comletely new blog. So, someone discovered and stumbled it and for some reasons a real traffic rush began (and is still going on, I have new visitors every minute).

I don´t know the real reasons for that much traffic. I have heard from other people experiencing the same, but until today I thought I won´t ever see such amazing traffic stats because I never had it before. Anyway, I´m really happy about this nice extra “exposure” to the online world. It will hopefully help me in getting a bit more traffic in the long term and my “lost” rankings back

I´ll keep you updated if this traffic rush is going on for more than one day!

Bye bye,
