Everything has its own best time to do. For example, the best time to sleep is at 10pm - 11pm. The best time to exercise is at 6pm evening. If we could apply the best time to do things, we have better health.

As a blogger, I have monitoring the best time to publish post for some time of period. I myself used to publish post in the morning after 10am even put in schedule. I feel that it is the most suitable time for my readers and optimize for my RSS subscribers.

Yesterday I advertised my blog post using famous social media Stumble
Upon. The $5 bucks investment is worth the money although the post
does not stumble on front page.

As shown in the blog traffics graph, my visitors have been raised up
from 250 visitors to 460 visitors within days.
Although I bought only 100 visitors, but Stumble has sent me some
extra visitors.

As a conclusion, Stumble has help me to increase my traffic
to higher stage. My Alexa rank also has been raise up back from 231,xxx to 226,093 over the weekend.

From my result, I would say the advertisement campaign cost $0.01 per
visitors rather than $0.05. Its really worth my $5, a cheap yet effective increase traffics method.

Since I offer private advertising, I also hope to advertise and get more traffics into my blog. While doing some research on where to advertise my blog, I read about advertising campaign through a famous social media - Stumble Upon!

Why Advertise with Stumble Upon?

• It is cheap. ONLY $0.05 per view and 100 views minimum.

• Can target on specific category

• Bring organic traffics if people stumble it

Do and Don’t

• Only target at relevant category.

• Invest small, Monitor and Try an error

• Advertise a post or page url, not your main landing page

My two cents

Today I have invested $5 via Paypal to advertise in Stumble Upon. I registered myself as an advertiser in Stumble Upon’s ads page. After select my target category and submit the post url, wait for approval. Once its approved, I receive the confirmation email then I debit $5 into my Stumble Upon account via Paypal. They also accept Credit Card payment. (more…)
